ANGE POSTECOGLOU says he knew the mistake that cost Celtic in RB Leipzig was coming as his side had veered away from their football, and that they put goalkeeper Joe Hart under unnecessary pressure by playing too safe.
The Celtic manager defended his keeper after his errant pass had led to RB Leipzig’s second goal in the 3-1 defeat, but criticised his outfield players for retreating into their shells after Jota had pulled them level on the night, and for playing negative passes.
That was the mindset that he feels led to the hosts gaining the upper hand in what had been a keenly contested encounter, and what ultimately caused Hart’s costly error.
