Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has rapped his
defenders after their narrow 3-2 win over Celtic on Wednesday
night.
"It was not a good performance by us against Celtic and we made
mistakes, especially at the back," Van der Sar said. "It is fair to
say they probably surprised us a little bit with their attacking
play, but I think we contributed to their success with our
defending.
"It wasn't up to standard and I don't think our concentration was
as good as it should have been. Little mistakes crept in when they
shouldn't have at the back. We are not happy about it but, luckily,
we got away with it. But if we want to progress in the competition,
we have to cut out those mistakes because other teams will punish
us even more."
