to say that was our reserves plus a 35 year old who has played three games in a week near enough I think we did pretty well attacking wise, when we decided to attack and run at them they panicked as they have done all season. what we didnt do was keep it tight at the back, it was too open and in that 8 minute period where they scored 3 goals we looked flustered and couldnt cope with their pace whatsoever. they could have been 5 up at half time but we could have had a couple ourselves. second half we looked better and they missed their final pass a few times as pep said, but i think they took their foot off the gas after halftime once they had made up for their start.

the only thing i'll point out is that our reserves handled the game well in the first tie, but looked a little bit out of place or overawed in the second, the positive is that the younger players will benefit from the experience and that the reserves made the multi million defence look shakey.

what i will say is our first team, would have probably suffered some similar fate, as is the gulf in class, but maybe not to the same extent. think it would have been 4-2 if our full side had been out
