On the result
“Chicago came in, they did what they had to do … we had a little success early on but obviously our mistakes led to their goals. We had plenty of opportunities but it’s just the finishing product, we didn’t have the finishing product tonight. 

“We have to be better in the final third, and we demand better from these guys. Overall, I thought the response was better in the second half, we came out a little bit more livelier … You can see the youthfulness in the group and where we need to improve upon. We’ll keep building and working with the guys that we have leading into the next game and hopefully we have a better showing next game, because the next game is a big game against Columbus and those guys are on top.”
