“We should have scored more goals. We created a lot of chances that we should have scored more than one goal today buts it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t.
“I’ve watched them [Hearts of Oak] a lot so today I played 4-4-2 diamond, so I was playing four midfielders who didn’t give them the chance to play in the midfield.
“We didn’t play with wingers today and when you look at the game, we allowed our full-backs to operate for us more today and it worked for us.
