Everton 1-0 Ipswich: What O'Neil said

Ipswich Town manager Gary O'Neil speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought we were unfortunate to leave with nothing, we gave a lot and looked a threat. We conceded a very unfortunate goal. The main criticism of the performance is that we didn't show the cutting edge that we have in recent weeks."

On Abdul Fatawu 's sending off: "I've seen them given, I've seen them not given. It looks like he is anticipating contact - and there is contact. I can understand it being a yellow card. Where it is on the pitch, I don't think the referee needs to get involved. I've spoken to him, he has been excellent for us. I suppose the lack of experience... it's making sure when you're on a yellow card that you don't take any risks. I thought we were excellent with 10-men and the home fans were restless.

"The only disappointment is the result. Liverpool and Manchester United are Champions League clubs where you just have a go, but against Sunderland , Crystal Palace and Everton we have shown we can be very competitive.

"We will get ready again for Fulham . Disappointed we have such a break [for the international break], they're a great group to work with."

Ipswich remain without a clean sheet in each of their last 24 Premier League games, extending their worst run without one in the top-flight.

Ipswich Town's Gary O'Neil has lost 50 of his 93 Premier League games as a manager, the seventh quickest to that tally. David Moyes has inflicted more of those defeats on him than any other coach (five).
