Say what you want about them, dirty tactics etc but i thought they were outstanding with 10 men. That was a long half.

Don’t want to say we were lucky as we certainly weren’t but I think a combination of us being quite street wise, disciplined, a really good side ourselves and possibly getting a bit good fortune when we needed it was enough.
I’d be very surprised if Molde were technically as good and quick as them.

We just beat a really good team there.
They aren’t top class but they were technically very good and they had a core of fine players. That young lad who came on up top looked the real deal and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him at a bigger club in the not too distant future.
At 0-2 last week no one could have predicted that we’d be sitting here on cloud 9 tonight. We rode our luck to an extent for a spell tonight but we won 3/4s of the tie 4-1. It should be impossible not to be impressed by that.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Good footballing team that they undoubtedly were, their biggest letdown was the typical continental malaise of diving, fouling, ‘cheating’ and playacting as though the whole world was against them. Cut those elements out and they’d have the beating of a lot of teams quite easily. Thank goodness they haven’t learned that lesson yet.

I thought they were Good, I just think they lacked an ability to really up the pace and pressure - I think the lack of fans and atmosphere in the stadium probably hinders them too, as we saw last week they really can give players and extra 5 or 10%

Not really sure the best way to describe it but that team today were probably the most difficult type of team we could come up against. Molde will be a very good side too but I’d be surprised if they were technically as good and quick as this Greek mob were.
I’d imagine Molde will be a bit more direct, maybe a bit more physical up front but not as nippy and tricky as the Greeks. That brings its own difficulties and they will be favourites but I think we’re better suited to that kind of game than we were tonight.

Imo we were as good as them, they just had the momentum and pressure in the last half hour as they really needed to go for it and we got a bit nervous. As you say they missed a few chances but we also had our opportunities on the break we should have done better with.

Discipline was a problem for them, often played the ref, who was excellent btw, instead of the game. We done well to get past them, Molde will be tough also but so are we.
