Under-19s coach Max Porter gave us his thoughts on Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth League.
“I think it was a brilliant game for advertising what this competition gives us for development,” he said. “We played a really resilient and resolute team. When I look back on it, we had 70 percent of the ball today from the stats that I’ve just seen. They had one shot on goal and scored from it, which was poor from us in how we defended it. Then we spent the majority of the game trying to break them down.
