Well we got mugged in Paris. We were the better team, but Courtois put in a MOTM performance at one end, and we went to sleep and gifted them a really soft goal at the other. Very frustrating cos that is not a great RM side, they were sluggish and unambitious in their play throughout the game. Thought that Ancelotti thought he was still managing Everton with those tactics. But they hung in and defended well and then hit us with a sucker punch.
Don't agree with those moaning about our players. We played pretty well, better than them. Mo was a bit off it, as he has been since Afcon, but still produced a beautiful touch and strike that Courtois pulled off another great save to stop. Diaz was very well defended by their right back. Mane was very good, especially first half. Our midfield bossed the possession. But if you doze off once at the back it can cost you, and that's what happened.
