“We need to go about things in a measured way. We’re putting the work in and getting too little in return. We need to keep the opposition’s chances to a minimum because we know that we’ll always be capable of scoring goals. The problems aren’t when we attack, it’s not defending as a unit. Shipping too many goals isn’t down to our system, it’s consistency. We need to do better at that in Wolfsburg because they’re a quality opponent.”
