"When I arrived it was not easy for the players to focus over 30 minutes or 25 minutes but now they are used to it.
"Sometimes I compare the matchplan to what we did in the game, soemtimes it's about our ptrinciple, what we can do, then it's about the four phases - with the ball, without the ball, the two transition moments. There is also set pieces but this is normally a second meeeting.
"Beside the team meetings we have individual meetings and feedback meetings with me or my assistants. This is important when they don't train so much on the pitch."
Rohl must decide what changes to make after admitted Saturday's second-half collapse left him "shocked".
