Dollah when question about his fate with the national team hinted that he might quit the team."I don't know but perhaps I should. Whatever it is we have to wait and see in two or three days," said Dollah at the post-match conference.On the game itself Dollah said he did not know what hit them."I don't know what happened today, especially in defence. We let in easy goals. Three or four of them were conceded easily. UAE put up a good performance especially Omar Abdulrahman (No. 10). He is a great player and definitely 'killed' our players.

"I didn't expect to let in 10 goals. I knew it wasn't easy to win here and that's why I have set a target to get at least a point. But the way UAE played ... I don't know what happened to our players, everything went down he drain.""Like I said before, we only prepared for this match with in just three or four days. It was not easy to play the UAE because I have said they are the best team in Asia. Our players were exhausted after a packed league schedule and that's why they can't match the pace of our opponents," said Dollah.
