Ten points from eight games.
This is Anderlecht's balance sheet after the 2:1 loss against Westerlo today (Sunday) in the Belgian league.
"We are all responsible for this loss," Lior Rafalov told the Belgian media after losing the points.
"We showed poor quality and intensity on the floor. It's not related to the preparation, everyone knew what we had to do and yet we lost too many battles. The intensity needs to be higher if we want to get the three points."
Rafalov also said: "This is a hard defeat after a bad start to the season. After the victory in the Conference League, the atmosphere was really good in the dressing room. I really believed that this victory would also raise our level. Unfortunately, we lose here because of stupid individual mistakes. We can train tactically as much as we can We want, if the intensity isn't high enough, it won't work. We have to want to die for each other on the field. Right now I miss it. We have to play more as a team. We're not going to blame a single player, we made a mistake as a team."

"The level in training is really fantastic.
But during the game, I don't notice it.
That's why I'm so disappointed," the Israeli continued, "Ten points are not enough for Anderlecht.
This is our responsibility, not the coach's.
We need to show more quality.
This duel was crucial to start a streak, and we failed to do so."
were we wrong
