Denmark could try to score and then we would be out. We are trying to win this game. |
Even if I am in a bad mood I have to smile and be nice to the fans. |
I think we can upset some of the big teams, |
I'm hoping that they will be a bit more offensive and that they will probably give up more space, and we can go at them. I'm looking forward to it. It's a good result that we have. Not fantastic, but good. |
I'm hoping they will be a bit more offensive and that will give us more space and we can go at them. It's still an open match, but I think we have the upper hand. |
If we keep playing well in the Champions League, that can help in the Premiership. But there are big differences -- it's much more physical in England. |
It was the first game of the season and it was a difficult game to have at the beginning, |
It's Thierry's own decision, no one else's. We're going to a new stadium next year so that will definitely help for him to stay. |
Newcastle played quite defensively, but we had to keep playing and get through in the last 20 minutes, and we managed to do it. |
Of course 2-2 would be a good result for both teams, |
They played a physical game against us with a lot of long balls. It is our responsibility to get the ball down. Perhaps at the moment we are a little bit scared to hold the ball and we kick it long as well. That is not our way and our strength. |
Vieira was a great player, very physical and helped us in the middle of the park, but we've been working hard on this aspect of the game. We've filled in with young players who have done well but everyone needs time to grow, develop and learn. I've been here for a while and know that the physical side of the Premiership is a big part of it. |
We have a lot of guys having to play in different positions, especially at the back. They're not used to it and they're doing the best they can. We know that and can't expect any more from them. |
We have been a lot more compact. With three in the middle we can cover the centre-backs and it has worked well in Europe. |
We know the situation we're in and the gap there is now. We're 10 points behind Liverpool and it will be very hard for us to make that up. We do have Liverpool and Spurs at home still, so hopefully we can make the gap smaller but we know how tough it will be now. |
