You don't do that if you've reached the quarter-final of the Champions League and if you're in the semi-final of the FA Cup. "It comes from the fact that, unfortunately, we did not get the results we as a team and club wanted. We are still where we want and need to be in the Premier League. But yes, it's hard.
