To be honest, watching the first half again, what Dortmund did then was put players in our half, without actually pressing the ball. That's less energy sapping, and it did work because we couldnt play past it. But its not a strategy a premiership team can adopt because teams will go long.
Benayoun and Arteta didnt do enough. The should have been coming deep to take the ball off the back 4 and advance play. Also think playing 2 "wingers" made it more difficult to build up.
