We made Tielemans and McGinn look like Petit and Vieira.
And they played through our press with ease. We were constantly leaving the guy in the left back position free on the ball. I assumed we were forcing them to play out through that flank but I couldn't really see why. Can't remember us winning the ball once in their third.
