“We are something of a bizarre team,” confessed director of sport Sabatini.
“These are distractions, it is in our DNA to a degree, we do tend to have peaks and troughs. It has been exaggerated of late, but we have to love the joy and pain of this team.
“Tonight we cannot get it wrong and do not want to get it wrong.
“The players must realise it’s not the same in the Champions League, as you are punished at the first error and then tend to concede again straight after. We must have balance.
“The statistics say we’re good going forward and a little shakier at the back. We made certain choices on the market because we expected Leandro Castan to be back quickly and he is, but he is taking longer to reach full form.
“Kostas Manolas is a guarantee, then we got this 23-year-old German international Antonio Rudiger, whose performances have been light and shade.”
