The Eindhoven giants’ boss expressed disappointment and insisted that his side made unacceptable mistakes.
On Sunday, February 19, FC Groningen cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten, expressed his disappointment and insisted that his side staged a far from pleasing effort
against the Green-White-Army.
PSV started the match brightly, but failed to assert their authority as the match progressed. The home side took the lead in the 29th minute through Hyun-Jun Suk. After scoring the opening goal, the home side continued to mount pressure on the
Boeren, but failed to further dent the visitors.
After the half-time interval, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 resumed proceedings aggressively and doubled their lead in the 51st minute when Leandro Bacuna’s strike found the back of the net. Sixteen minutes before the full time whistle, Suk’s strike from range
sealed the game 3-0 in favour of the Green-White-Army.
Following the embarrassing loss, Rutten expressed his disappointment and admitted that his side failed to assert their authority.
“I am upset at the 3-0 defeat. We had a sloppy start to the game and could not find a way to change momentum. We seemed to play without any energy and there was no conviction. The team put in a very poor display and the mistakes we made after the break are
unacceptable. We failed to achieve the level of consistency we expect”, Rutten was quoted as saying to the club's official website.
The Dutch mentor then went on to admit that his troops put in a below par performance against a team that has failed to achieve consistent results this season.
“We suffered defeat against a team that had gone out to play with passion. I lavished praise on my players for a mature performance last time out, but this afternoon the team put in a below-par display”, Rutten concluded.
Despite the loss, the Eindhoven giants remain joint-top in the Eredivisie table with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 on Sunday, February 19.
