I think last night we started the game to not lose ( playing for a draw ) what gave this away for me was the way we let their defenders have the ball with no pressing at all, whenever they had it at the back we dropped off into our own half and sat back inviting them onto us.
We are nowhere near good enough to play this way at that level as was proved.

I don't think it was intentional, they were just a better team than us.

I noticed that as soon as we got the ball, there was at least 1 of their players right on top of us almost immediately to make it difficult for him to move the ball forward as the angles were closed down. However, it was normally 2-3 players closing us down.

The speed at which they closed us down made us nervous, thus causing lots of mistakes that you don't normally see from us domestically.

Had to admire their work rate and fitness levels. They pressed us every time we had the ball and stopped us playing. Simply another level up from us.

They were superb and whilst we didn’t play particularly well, that was mainly due to the fact they were better than us. I thought we did ok under the circumstances and they’ll do the same to a lot of teams. One thing it showed me is that Scott Brown is essential in games like this.

They are definitely a champions league team they wouldn’t look out of sorts still a lot of work for us to do wee need more quality still silly silly mistakes Beeing made with bad pass backs and loseing the ball in ereas of the park that have danger wrote all over them.

For me it was the perfect example of complete high pressing. They all pressed collectively and cleverly and made it seem like they had extra players. We started ok being brave enough to quickly beat the high press and then after that definitely sat off them. We could have at least pressed them anytime the entered our half (similar to Borussia who used this effectively against us previously, instead of sitting back as much due to fear of there threat. Regardless amazingly happy we have qualified that's the only thing that will be remembered. Onwards and upwards. hail hail.
