[EDIT] I have now had time to cool down and gather my thoughts
We should not have been chasing the game when we were 1-0 or when it went 1-1. They had to score, we didn't. Contain and hit on the break. They would have to score and would have opened up space giving us the opportunity to break. That is how we beat Borrussia Dortmund in the group stages. A repetition would have seen us gone to the quarter finals. I really do believe this. That's why I m so pissed.
I think our players to a man gave their all, so not criticising them. I leave my criticism to Poch plain and simple. Most of you have given him a free pass as we were both dynamic and dominant, but the way we lost the game in those few minutes is where we fell short, and not for the first time
