I think some people are getting a bit carried away. Our defense was reasonably solid but Red Star still had 2 almost certain goal opportunities (1 early which Gazzaniga made a great save with his foot, and the 1 2nd half where they couldn't find the pass whilst 3 on 1) and also hit the woodwork. On another night we could have easily conceded 3.
That was when they were breaking on the defence though. Maybe if they had protection, from say, a defensive midfielder, it mightnot of happened?
Ndombele and sissoko are defensively minded enough to play the role. Maybe Dier’s performance at centre back might get him back in the team?
