'We had opportunities to show quality' - Mousinho
- Published
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho felt his side needed to show more quality in the final third in their 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United.
"For 40 minutes there was absolutely nothing in it, and that was the biggest disappointment - we had a game plan out of possession and thought we executed that very, very well, restricting Sheffield United to very little," Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.
"We had so many opportunities in the final third to show more quality and we didn't do that, after I watched a side with a huge amount of quality in the final third on Saturday.
"The red card comes from that. We sling a pointless cross into the box, [Michael] Cooper springs a counter-attack, we concede a corner, and the game changes from that point. Those fine details we need to get better at.
On conceding from set pieces: "It's something we're concerned about. We lose the first contact, haven't marked aggressively enough or well enough and you are going to get punished."
