The way PSG threw themslves to the ground at the slightest contact wasn't good but it should not overlook the fact that in the first half we didn't work hard enough. Don't like it when we sit deep but that's what we should've done. They were fighting to stay in so early on men behind the ball, soak it up. They were given to much to much space and time.
Not a great defensive display. Should've done a Rafa like number on them. Goes without saying they are going to cheat to get the result.
They did to us what we were doing to teams last season, a 20 minute blitz, get a goal, pick the opposition off on the counter.
For the first 20 mins, they often matched our back 4 1on1, and just bypassed the midfield by getting it to one of their attacking 4.
It's probably a compliment to Klopp that Tuchel copied him, but then he did the same at Dortmund, right down the the fist pump when they scored.
