And we were indeed speed restricted by ATC, so increasing the speed was not available for us at the time, to make things worse we were slightly overweight for the approach (due to a flight planning mistake) and the idea was to descent in FLCH, with speed brakes and added power to burn the fuel (yes, ugly, I know).
Thanks for great answers so far,
