“We know we want to be more consistent; me as a manager I have to improve the team and guide them and the players have to take the responsibility,” he told TNT Sports.
Asked whether he looked back on the European campaign with regret he added: “Not with regret. We want to be in it and the target was always to be in it over winter.
“We didn’t make it and we have to accept it and learn from it.
“But we played good football in the Champions League: Rasmus Hojlund scored five times and he has to take that belief into the Premier League.
“That counts for the whole team, to take some good performances in the Premier League as we want to be back in the Champions League again and so we have to qualify from the League.”
