Jurgen Cavens gave an interview to lierse.com after the match at Doornik, and as with his coach, firstly admitted their own faults. Cavens: “ I have to admit that in the first half I should have scored twice. The goals we conceded were avoidable. We also committed too many fouls on the flanks, whilst we knew that Doornik are strong from dead ball situations. We gave away too much, contrary to what we had discussed before the match.”

In an interview after the 2-1 defeat at Doornik, Lierse trainer Herman Helleputte gave his opinion of the match, and gave an honest assessment of his team's faults.
