I really enjoyed the match: tactical and technical spectacle between two strong teams.
I thought we played very well, mostly, against a team with a greater physical power than ours, but players technically not quite at the same level. I thought Phil's movement between the lines and his receiving of the ball was brilliant, but he was physically outgunned on a few occasions. Kovacic was superb and his acceleration from a standing start was really on view. The defence was excellent centrally but Kyle was caught positionally a couple of times, and Gvardiol gave it away cheaply a couple of times too - he is improving week on week though, especially on the ball in tight spaces.
Doku looked sharper, Kev less so, and I think Kev is going to need several weeks to be back to speed.
