Nearly There

A win, a clean sheet, a goal from Kolo - can't complain! I do feel however that Villarreal were the happier team at the end of the match.

The game next Tuesday in Spain will be a different affair I feel - Villarreal will HAVE to attack, which should suit us down to the ground...we can hit them on the break and if we score first - game over in my opinion.

Le Boss was content with the performance, here's what the great man said...

"It was a tense game where we could have got one more goal.

"We were in a difficult situation once we were 1-0 up between keeping a clean sheet and going forwards. We did not really find our flow in the second half.

"I feel we paid a bit the price physically for playing many games.

"We lost a bit of sharpness which made us so dangerous when we won the ball in the other games.

"We could maybe have scored one more. You want always to give everything to everybody, but it is not always predictable.

"You cannot do it on command, even us.

"I always say you always need two good games if you want to go through. We have another one in front of us.

"We want to go there to try to score goals and play our game."
