Favre further added that while “Stuttgart played well” his side were “very, very bad”.

“That was a disaster. It was bad. We weren’t good at winning the ball. We made too many big mistakes. That’s hard to explain. If you are not good at winning the ball, I mean the whole team, then you have a problem.  Stuttgart played well, but we were very, very bad,” Favre said, reported Goal.

“That will not do. Stuttgart played well in the first half, but we made it 1-1.  Still, we wanted to do better in the second half. We gave up a very stupid goal. That worried the team. We weren’t there today.”
