We played through it for our first yesterdayThat was horrific from Madrid. Their manager majorly fucked up. They were guilty of doing something ourselves have repeatedly done in recent times, trying to play through the dipper press, especially at Anfield when the easy way is to just bypass it.
Villa were guilty of it too. It's no coincidence the only 2 games they have won in the last 2 months are in games where the opponents play into their high press strategy. Any semi-competent side that plays over it has had great success against them
