The Yellow & Blue fell for the second straight time in Europa League Group Stage action and weren’t able to overcome a second half goal by Cairan Kilduff for the Irish outfit.

Shota Arveladze talked about his feelings following his team’s 1:0 loss to Dundalk FC in Dublin: “At the end of the day, the match was fairly even, but Dundalk is a very good and organized club and won the game. I can only congratulate them. It’s disappointing not to take any points in two matches. I’m disappointed because we played very slowly. But I do know that anything is possible and we can play better games going forward, but it won’t be easy.”

About Dundalk:

“I wasn’t surprised by Dundalk. They waited for us and gave us problems on the counterattacks and breaks. We knew we were going to play an organized side. I have to give them credit because they did what they had to do and the match changed in minutes. I’m disappointed because we played very slowly and that’s not our style of play. You have to understand that defeating clubs in the domestic league isn’t good enough in Europe where you have to come with more quality and that’s a challenge that I must solve.”

Lots of games:

“We played five games in a small window of time but I’m not using that as an excuse. We prepared properly and the players did what they needed to do and as they were trained. Perhaps it’s a bit of a psychological issue and we came into the match more relaxed after the Derby victory.”
