I was annoyed at the cautious approach but at the same time it was necessary due to Shaktar's fast transitions. Conceding a goal would have been disastrous. The defenders were superb namely Chiellini and the wingers even though conservative did a good job to stop Shaktar's wide midfielders to play their game. Willian was forced to play behind the strikers because of Lichtsteiner's intensity. Vucinic did a huge defending game and Pogba was my outstanding player out there. Exhaustion appeared clearly on the players in the end but the calmness showed superiority and the home game against the Ukranians was simply an underestimation of the team. From now on it is only serious approaches, our team can go far....we are that strong.
