The defending champion, who had tied four consecutive league matches, was subjected to boos from his fans at the end of the match.

“After 60 minutes, we started to get sloppy and it’s not the first time. We have to address that. It’s been talked about already but we have to address it again it seems.

“We have another 48 hours to evaluate this, us and the crew, we will debrief and then we have to move.
