True. Rather them than Shakhtar though, and a few others left in the draw.

Well you could argue that we wouldn't be in that position, but all said and done there is still a lot of fear in the team and it's understandable. In these circumstances you can only be happy with the result, but that is the most important thing for now. I feared it would be such a flat game...

We wouldn't have played like that against a better team though...not in terms of philosophy and being happy to give them so much possession.

Mourinho? He's about as anti-Italian as you can get right now :lol:

Yet we often end up 4-3-1-2 anyway, I think Zac likes this flexible system with Grygera and De Ceglie changing.

I see what you are saying, but what if Ajax score on a counter when we don't really need to attack? Juve won the away game which is enough in terms of points, but the result and game situation has to come first. People were talking up Mourinho yesterday for doing exactly the same, you play to...

Fulham were more than a bit lucky tonight, Shakhtar really had no edge to their game. They defended well though.

Truth be told, we didn't need to do any more than we did tonight. The weekend is far more important, it would have been a nice easy(ish) game but for Amauri's injury :(

Their form? Yeah, Shakhtar are good at home as well, and have an away goal, they also hadn't played any competitive games before they played the first leg.
