On tonights match...
“Proud of the effort behind the ball, the honesty, disappointed with the goal that we gave up. But I can't fault the fight in the guys tonight. I want us to be better with the ball. If I had to choose an area of the game that we needed to improve, we were getting 10 players low, and we weren't finding our way out when we won it. We were struggling to get ourselves out and rondo through the first wave of pressure to get the ball to the other side so we could get numbers high in the game. So, a little sloppy. I need to look at our tactics, things we could do to maybe not get pinned so well. But this is a tough place to come and play. And we fought, we fought, and it's a hard point. Proud of the guys' effort, and that's what I care most about, is the mentality and the desire for our fans, to play with our heart and play for each other. And so, I thought that was there tonight. But I think we need to clean ourselves up with the ball.”
An update on Petar Musa…
“Musa felt a tight hamstring, so we just decided to be safe and not try to gamble with 15 more minutes. So, I think we got him out in time, and I don't think it's anything that's going to be of major concern. We'll look at it, but we just decided to err on the side of caution.”
Defender Shaq Moore
On the performance…
“From the first whistle we competed, that was first and foremost. We knew coming into a derby that would be the most important thing, to match their intensity, match their physicality and I think we did that. We got a hard-fought point, we wanted to win obviously but we’ll take the point in a hard place to play.
On the final stretch of the season…
“We know time is ticking. We’ve got eight games left so we want to put our best foot forward, start picking up points. There’s a lot of soccer to play so we’re just taking it game by game, getting as many points as we can and try to make a push for the playoffs.”
On his attacking output…
“I’m just trying to pick my spots, be a little more aggressive when I get the chance and try to pounce. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don’t. I’m just trying to put myself in the right position to make things happen and I’m just glad we got the tie. Obviously, we wanted to win but we’ll take the tie.”
Midfielder Sebastian Lletget
On moving forward…
“It is going to be tough moving forward. We have a big match versus LAFC at home next week. I thought there was a lot of good progress displayed today by the team. We defended from the first whistle to the final whistle. We all worked hard, that is all I can ask from my teammates.”
