difficult good leg played possible stage
We did everything possible and played a good match, but the 2-0 from the first leg was too difficult to recover. We could not have done any better at this stage of the season.
arsenal cause depend difficult extremely goal hope recover score whether
We hope we can cause Arsenal some damage. A 2-0 (deficit) is extremely difficult to recover but much will depend on whether we can score one goal in the first half.
against closed difficult good quick side space
They were a difficult side to play against because they closed down the space and were then quick on the break. We had a good game, but unfortunately we just weren't able to score.
difficult legs maintain minds rhythm thank week
It's very difficult to maintain this rhythm but we have the minds and the legs to do it. Now, thank goodness, we have a week off.
both difficult game tense
It was a tense game and it was difficult for both teams,

You start the season with the goals of winning both the league and the Champions League. Once again, we've seen how difficult that it.

No doubt it's an unlucky, difficult period for us,
anybody arsenal beat continue difficult
If Arsenal continue in this form, it'll be difficult for anybody to beat them.
difficult instead match return rome stayed tie
If we had stayed 3-0 down the tie would have been all but over. Instead we're at 3-2 and there's still something to play for, even if the return match in Rome (on Feb. 1) will be a difficult one.
avoided focus giving goal second
We lacked focus when giving away the second goal and we could have really avoided conceding the third.
chances created deserved great incredible mistake plenty pulled save win
We deserved the win even if it did come from a mistake by their keeper. He had an incredible night, we created plenty of chances but he just pulled off one great save after another.
aggressive game glad half hugely improved knew match pace passing performed picked players slow
Parma were too aggressive in the first half, ... I knew that they would not be able to keep that pace all match long. We performed really well after the break. I picked up the right players and I am glad about the result. We were slow in the first half but we hugely improved our passing game in the second.
brazil champions cup defend european involved liverpool next qualify won
Liverpool won the European Cup and they should have the right to defend their trophy. The champions should be involved but I think they should have to qualify like Brazil have to qualify for next year's World Cup.
chances five gift goal good half minutes scoring second six won
I think that with the chances we had we should have won it. We didn't get a look-in for the first 25 minutes and the first goal was a gift but in the second half we must have had five or six good scoring chances.
