This was practically the only game where people thought we were more or less on the same level. I think it helped that Liverpool was easier to decipher than the others because they have a very clear identity and we could prepare the way that we did.
We knew what strategy to take, don’t give them space behind the defence to run into. Perhaps our football wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful tonight on an aesthetic level, but playing out from the back to incentivize their pressing wasn’t a great idea.
