Manager Thomas Eichin offered a clear message: "We have some players with very high aspirations. Now they have to show that on the pitch as well and not just in interviews during the week." Eichin's short-term objective is also clear: "We have to get away from this negative general mood. We need to quickly turn the tide. That will certainly mean some hard work, but we need to get there. We can't moan and complain. Embrace the situation and go into games again with more courage and resolute. There will definitely not be a coaching change."

Thomas Schaaf
"Too often we have the attitude that the teammate will take care of that. Maybe we are thinking too offensively and are not concentrated enough on defence. The team must be much more active and communicate much more with one another. We will do all we can to perform at a level which will make people happy with the players we have."
Zlatko Junuzovic
"This defeat is very disappointing. We are very insecure at the moment. We were too passive, too naïve. We have to change this style as quickly as possible. I think we are concentrating on too many other things during the week, too much about what's being written or talked about. We are being distracted by all the hullabaloo."
Sokratis
"We played very poorly. When you lose three matches in a row, then you haven't done very many things right. Right now we have 28 points and must make sure that we get to 35 points as quickly as possible to save the season. We cannot be thinking about anything else in the current situation. This is not Werder at the moment. I did not reckon with this kind of season. I thought that we had a better team and would be further up the table. But I guess I was mistaken."
