Reading all Match thread comments - as I feared pre-game not enough in our engine components.Not surprised at the Bielsa assessment [below] as we've not enough key components to break a well formulated Saints system.Appears their left-back Perraud who we 'declined' from Brest quelled our wide threat.Disappointing.
"It was difficult for us to recover the ball in the opponents' half which is an element that helps us, it was difficult for us to recover the ball when the opponent made the first half from their half to our half, which is also a way to find the opponent out of position, which facilitates the attack," he said.
"Their attacks always finished in our box.
"For that reason our play always started from pretty far back.
"We had chances to facilitate our playing out, Tyler and Rodrigo had opportunities to receive the ball but we went wide too much, we didn't manage to get the ball to them from Meslier, Pascal or Klich so the ball always came out wide from our defence and from there it is difficult to make passes to make our attacks simpler.
"This explanation is very theoretical but it's what I saw."
