"The unsatisfying end to an unsatisfactory first half of the season"

After the 1-1 draw against 1. FSV Mainz 05, goalscorer Julian Brandt spoke about the team's performance and the situation going into the winter break.

Julian Brandt (speaking to SAT.1): "The situation is rubbish. It's crap to go into the break like this. It's an unsatisfying end to an unsatisfactory first half of the season. We had the same problem in the first half as we did in Augsburg. We had a lot of chances, but we weren't cool-headed enough. We came out in the second half and failed to do all the things we did well in the first. We were rushed in our build-up play, we gave Mainz too much space, conceded the ball too often and allowed them to create chances."
