Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Kenny Miller expressed satisfaction with his team's performance despite two consecutive draws, stating they are in an "excellent position" after seven undefeated games in a challenging early-season schedule. Miller believes the team "could have had seven wins" by now, lamenting missed scoring opportunities in recent matches, particularly highlighting five to six clear chances in the previous game. He emphasized the need to continue practicing finishing to convert these situations into goals.

Miller also praised player Noam Ben Harush, calling his assist for Dor Peretz's goal in the derby "one of the best crosses of the season." He sees Ben Harush as a quality left-back, capable of playing alongside new signing James Tavernier, and noted his strong connection with teammates Helio Varela and Roy Revivo.

Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Hapoel Haifa, Miller acknowledged them as a "good team" with threats from long shots and counter-attacks. He stated Maccabi Tel Aviv has prepared thoroughly and will focus on playing their own game, confident in their deep squad and the trust placed in the players by the coaching staff.

Defender Raz Shlomo echoed the sentiment about needing to convert chances, noting that while the team has reduced goals conceded, scoring is crucial. He believes the team is creating good opportunities, which is encouraging, but stressed the importance of winning "less glamorous" games against weaker opponents. Shlomo also discussed preparing to face experienced Hapoel Haifa striker Alon Turgeman, planning to analyze his strengths and weaknesses.
