The former Rangers hero believes the Dutch side will try to do the same in the second leg – tied 2-2 in a repeat of their head-to-head meeting a year ago.
But they don’t have the substance to match their playstyle.
Miller saw enough weaknesses for Michael Beale in the Ibrox crowd work move on and find ways for the Rangers to exploit.
A goal just before half-time gave Abdallah Sima the chance to put Rangers ahead and although they equalised, a quick attack from substitute Rabbi Matondo restored Rangers’ lead before a Luuk de Jong header sealed it again was nullified.
But those defensive skills will give Rangers a chance to make it back into the group stage, Miller believes.
Talking about talkSPORT Breakfast with Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist said: “It’s quite a good draw. Watching it makes you nervous because PSV have so much possession and do most of the attacking.”
“But they’re not that great in the back.
“I don’t think PSV are brilliant in defence. They try to assert themselves, but they also take a lot of risks.”

“Without sounding disrespectful, I’m not sure they’re good enough with the guys at the back to play like that.”
“You could see it in the first goal right at half-time, which was totally against the flow of the game.
“Rangers have taken the lead and there are positives and things Michael can learn ahead of the second leg.”
The Dutch were quite ready to take revenge for last year’s exit and they will be remain Favorites for the second leg.

Miller was with TNT Sports Mandatory for the game alongside Alan Hutton and the new one married Emma Dodds – but this morning tipped Rangers to turn the tables if they can excel where the Dutch side failed.
He added: “PSV will start in front of their own fans and will have most of the ball and they billed themselves that way.” Revenge Play after what happened last season.
“They expect them to dominate and leave the game to Rangers – and that could play into Michael’s hands.”
“Rangers didn’t concede too many clear chances and I think they defended well – something they need to do again.” next Week.”
