The game was a higher level than we have played this season. We held possesion well in first half and were dominant in possession,75 per cent.
We had players who had lapses Vinny on two occasions, Barry on the goal, Hart in goal, similiar to his Wigan lapse of concentration possession is vital in champions league and tonights opposition posed a big threat on the break. I thought injury was impacting on Nasri performance level through the game.
We went through a bad 15 mins prior to the scoring, despite prelonged debate between Manchini and Platt no changes were made when required, they scored from Barry losing possession,then we made the changes, which could/should have been made earlier, the goal was coming.
Kolorov scoreda peach when we needed it. Clichy came on and improved options, Johnson had a fair cameo. I do wonder if Barry has the pace for this CL.
I thought Lescott and Yaya really had top games, with JL the pick of our team. The opposition were well organised and difficult to break down, listed as my recollections for development and discussion by others, we all have different views that is why the game is so good
