LASK coach Dietmar Kühbauer stated that the team did not play up to their abilities and failed to showcase their footballing skills effectively. Other coaches like Fabio Ingolitsch suggested the team lacked the intensity and identity seen in previous campaigns. Markus Schopp highlighted the absence of key player Christoph Baumgartner and noted the lack of creative solutions in possession.
