"They just grind it out, they play some nice football and have some good footballers, so it's going to be difficult.
"We are where we are for a reason, we can't keep the ball out at one end and we can't score as you saw against Celtic. We need that to change to keep a clean sheet and nick a goal and then we are up and running."
