Coach Henk ten Cate was in less than stellar mood after the game, telling the press, "I can't say that the players didn't try, but we had a childish defence and missed many chances.
"Now we have to work on our self-esteem because we have another game on Saturday and, of course, the very important for us Champions League tie [against Villarreal] next Tuesday.
"As the team's coach the responsibility belongs to me."
The Dutchman moved on to discuss individuals - some of whom he was less than pleased with.
"The performance of Lazaros Christodoulopoulos was a bright light on a very dark night," he continued.
"The ups and downs in our performances are a matter of quality and concentration. We have first to work on our concentration and later improve our quality.
"This is not the first time something like this has happened against a weaker club and we probably need hard work and some people [need] to change."
