"That has to be the mentality now if we want to break into the
top 10.
"We have to control the game and not give United the chance to
break, they are very good at that so if we push too many men
forward, it will give Ronaldo, Rooney and co that chance.
"We need to control possession and not give away the ball,
because those players need the ball."
"The cup tie was terrifically open and for the first time in a
few years at our ground there were some goals in the game.
"The games at Old Trafford have generally been one-goal affairs
with more goals being reserved for White Hart Lane.
"Hopefully we can get the result we want but I'm expecting a
very tough but open game."
