We played very slowly and didn\u2019t take up the positions we were supposed to. In the second half I changed the system to three center-backs, but at the end of the day it was just a cosmetic solution for this match. We need to stick to our principles because otherwise we\u2019re just another team in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a good team that needs to be allowed to play,\u201d Haifa bench boss Haim Silvas said. \u201cWe did what we needed to do and I\u2019m very disappointed with the result. After an outstanding first half, we didn\u2019t manage to go into the break with the lead. The second half was much more difficult for us. I knew that as time went on we would need one or two more chances to take the three points.
