Werder players were hugely disappointed with their own performance after a 3-0 loss at Cologne, heading to the changing room stunned and transfixed looks on their hanging heads. "We are very disappointed and frustrated," said head coach Thomas Schaaf about the past 90 minutes at RheinEnergie Stadium.

Manager Klaus Allofs agreed with the coach. "We were not even in the picture today and did not know what was necessary. I am totally disappointed because we did so much better a week ago," said Allofs. "The manner in which we presented ourselves really aggravated me. We have a long and bumpy road ahead of us." Clemens Fritz also struggled to described the Green-Whites' performance afterwards. "I am totally disappointed how we presented ourselves today. We had a good start with the win last week against Hoffenheim and then ruined everything again today," said the full back. "We worked well during the week but could not implement any of that today. None of us really went even close to our performance limit today. Cologne did what needed to be done. They ran and challenged early. This loss certainly makes us a bit scared and worrisome," said the 30-year-old Fritz.

Even more clearly were the words of Tim Wiese. "We only ran alongside them today. I am totally disappointed in what we showed today. It's inexplicable what happened today. We just did not go into the challenges," said the German international keeper. All Green-Whites knew exactly what the defeat meant. "We are still down near the bottom of the standings and today lost against a team that is below up. That is a bitter day and a huge setback for us," said Allofs. "There are simple things needed to be successful but we were not willing to go to that point. We have to work very hard the next week to address the mistakes and do much better next weekend," said the disappointed manager.
