the front three caused us some problems with their movement and pace and we didn't cope with Giggs well once they moved him into the centre but other than that i thought it was an evenly faught game with both sides creating good chances.
The most marked difference between the two sides in my eyes was the quality of their crosses into the box. Virtually every one was culed/whipped in behind our defence along the edge of the six yard box and looked genuinely threatening. We still hit too many lobbed/chipped crosses which are easier for the defence to deal with. Like we have done for other elements of our game though, we will learn.
