I was sitting watching this first half and I'm thinking, I think these players have taken what Pep said about going out and enjoying yourself and relaxing just a little bit literally.

Because it took them, I mean, Don said 20 minutes.

I thought it was about half an hour it took them to actually get going.

You could see the difference.

Again, they didn't make that many clear chances, but the ones they did make, that extra bit of quality.
