    Not so much the pressing as the fact that they are winning far too many of the challenges

    The pressing is letting them challenge high up the pitch. Some of our challenges have powder puff.

    The midfield isn't able to turn when they receive the ball off the defenders.

    Not an excuse for losing 50/50s. We improved as the half went on

    But for the first 20 minutes they were winning every ball.

    Podolski has been a worry out left and we don't have enough control in the centre
