Class response from the team after a difficult start, and shoutout to Oblak for his amazing save at 0-1. We dominated the second half and created chance after chance, Morata with some poor misses but he is perfectly entitled to an off day after his brilliant start to the season

Great subs from Cholo. Llorente, Barrios and Lino all made a big impact. It feels good to have this kind of depth

Otherwise credit to Villarreal, they looked MUCH better than at any point under Pacheta. Gerard is a joy to watch and this squad should suit Marcelino well. They have so many technical players that are difficult to press which is very frustrating when chasing the game

You know what I mean, who cares

Not much to say, respect to Molde who are the way stronger team at this level. In terms of general play and chances there wasn’t much between the sides over these two matches, Häcken might even had slightly more chances overall but still the aggregate scoreline is a crushing 8-2. The likes of Eikrem and Gulbrandsen are so clinical and lightyears above any forward Häcken has

In some ways I admire that Häcken continues to play their all out attack kamikaze football even in Europe but they just don’t have the individual talent to make it work at this level. Even in Allsvenskan their defence is really shaky let alone against opponents of this quality. They just give away simple goals every time
