Ipswich's captain, Dara O'Shea, expressed his thoughts following the 2-3 loss against Manchester City. O'Shea admitted that the team aimed for a positive outcome at the Etihad, yet emphasised their determination as they battled until the very end.
In an interview with Sky Sports, O'Shea noted that Ipswich was particularly lively towards the closing stages of the match, feeling they had the chance to turn things around.
'We're disappointed we couldn't take at least a point away from here. We came here to cause our opponents problems and get a result, but we fell short. However, especially towards the end of the game, we felt like we were putting them under pressure,' said the captain.
O'Shea pointed out that the team has evolved since their last Premier League outing, with new players adding depth and confidence. He believes Ipswich can create goal-scoring opportunities regularly but must work on refining their play to achieve better results.
Notably, he highlighted the team's mental resilience, insisting that their belief in themselves contributes to their fight, even in challenging moments.
'We have immense faith in our abilities. This is one of the key qualities of our team. We know we can step it up in the closing stages of matches. Our aim is to start accumulating points as quickly as possible,' O'Shea said.
