Carrick, speaking after the game, said: “There’s a number of things that we’ll look at, we’ll dissect.

“I know quite a bit of where it went wrong, but we can’t accept that. We can’t accept that as a group.

“I take responsibility for it. The performance towards the end of the second half.

“We’ve got a big game on Sunday that we need to prepare for. It doesn’t feel good at the moment. We want to win, and we want to win quickly. The next game is Sunday. That’s all I’m thinking about right now.”
