We are all very disappointed. It was a lesson for us above all in the first half. But it's over now and we cannot escape it. We have to face the criticism.
We want to start them thinking that they're responsible for their own career.
Our World Cup preparations are firming up but the door remains open for interesting candidates.
Robert needs to get some match practice. We expect him to play the two Under-21 games in full.
Physically he is not fully fit at the moment and he urgently needs to win match practice.
Sure I should have been at the Fifa workshop for example, but I had personal reasons for not being there and looking back saying that it was a mistake for me not being there I would take the same decision because the personal situation has higher priority than a workshop.
Some of the younger players do need protecting as they are new at this level. That is why I do not play them all the time as they need to be bedded in slowly.
The '54 World Cup was the first time the people got the recognition back after the second World War and felt like they are proud of something you know it brought people back together and you know now we can keep our heads up again.
That was the toughest decision of my career.
We are delighted that Mehmet has rediscovered his best form, but for us, the players who are at the fitness test have priority.
Once the World Cup preparations begin there will hardly be an opportunity to do so, since we'll have to put all our energy into the team. We coaches have a list of priorities and dealing with the media isn't in the top five.
I've got my plan with everything necessary for the World Cup preparations.
No I would not say that my job is on the US game. I am enjoying the job and it is possible that I will carry on after the World Cup.
Didi will be staying in England for the next few weeks so find his rhythm with Liverpool,
