We did everything we could to win this game on a tricky pitch. We created a lot of opportunities but between the posts and Bonano, we failed to find the goal. We did well but we let a victory slip from our grasp. I still think we are carrying on where we left off last season and you saw a team that was working for 90 minutes. We showed off our talent but just couldn't get a goal.

We did our job and took the points and we're happy with that. This is just as important a win as any other even if the game wasn't particularly attractive. We ensured they had few chances and scored three times ourselves. They were happy to sit back and let us come at them and that meant the game wasn't too attractive, but we had to be on our guard against their counter attacks and we did that well.

We did the job we had to do.

We didn't play well. I asked the players to up their performance levels at the break. We gave the ball away too easily and when you push up you give the opposition too many chances on the counter if you lose the ball.

We earned ourselves three very important points. We played well and created plenty of opportunities and now we can focus on the Milan match. The only negative aspect was the injuries, but we hope they aren't too serious.

We had to suffer. It was important that we weren't beaten in defense.

We had to wait a long time to see if they would play the game. The good thing, though, is that we didn't have to use any energy.

We have fallen into the trap of playing too slowly this season,
|
We have something to show people -- that Barcelona are a good team and can eliminate Chelsea.

We need to up the pace if we want to play effective and attractive football and break down well organised defences.
|
We played well, the result was good and the players are on form, so you'd say it was a perfect match for us,
|
We showed great pride to avoid defeat although I can't congratulate my players for drawing, ... It was only when we were losing 2-0 that some players lost their fear of wasting a pass.
|
We will have bigger games than this and against better opposition and we have to be careful. We cannot afford the luxury of making things more complicated than necessary.
