In response, Frank explained his decision, saying that he made the substitution with a single goal in mind: to try and win the game.

He acknowledged that Simons had a positive performance, but also mentioned that he needed to introduce some fresh players to the game.

Frank also emphasized the importance of taking the positives from the game and building on them, rather than getting caught up in the emotions of the moment.

He expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance overall, particularly against a strong Manchester United team that was playing well.
