Shakhtar will be a different outfit at home Im sure of it. We have only won this game so comfortably because Shakhtar were NEVER going for it. In the first half they were happy passing the ball backwards all the time and never wanted to attack. We pushed them a little bit to attack because we didnt let them pass it backwards without pressure and thats when they got a couple of corners. They got unlucky twice with Songs and Nasris goal and were still happy enough just passing the ball backwards all the time.
We won because Shakhtar didnt want a win. They just wanted a nice stroll and hope for a 0-0.
Difficult to take too much pleasure from it. 5 goals for us and one for Eduardo, thats great. But this was a nothing performance from both teams and this will see us lose against Man City! Im scared we might be complacent against them. Actually, against both Man City AND the away leg against Shakhtar. Hope Im wrong.
