opportunity played
I'm satisfied, I thought we played well. If the opportunity is there, you've got to take it.
ahead excellent five football four half movement played second terrific
In the second half we played excellent football and could have been four or five ahead with some terrific movement and passing.
april catching form good hopefully line throw winning
If your form is good in April you have a good chance. If you're stuttering then you can throw it away. We're catching them and hopefully the winning line doesn't come too quickly.
bit fact momentum player saturday taken time
In fact on Saturday I think he was the player who was controlling our play and to be taken off at the time he did when we were getting a bit of momentum about us was a bit of a blow.
adequate believe brown experience john played vital
Gary's experience is vital to us. He has been such an important player...but I believe we have adequate cover, Wes Brown has played there many times and so has John O'Shea.
anywhere football gary near nowhere roy running weeks
Gary has started running but it will be two weeks before he is anywhere near the football part. But Roy is nowhere near and Quinton isn't either.
best result
It's our best result of the season, maybe.
aware slip
They know we're there and there's no disputing that fact. We are there and they are well aware of that and I think they know if they do slip up we are going to take our chance.
good leeds performed
It was a frustrating day for us really and that was down to the way Leeds performed and they were very good tactically,
atmosphere great guaranteed hopefully pitch quick result seems
It seems to me it is the right atmosphere for a semifinal. We are guaranteed a great atmosphere. It is a quick pitch and hopefully we will get the result we want.
fans looks
It looks like the fans have a new hero,
fortune goal good nice second
I think the first goal was a nice one-two with good play from Ruud and Quinton Fortune but that second goal was superb.
far game played team
I will make some changes. I think I played the right team in the first game and it won't be far away from that team again.
game happy issues manchester player present pursue quite rather smaller talking united
I think they (FIFA) are quite happy to take up smaller issues, like talking about a player at Manchester United who is 19 years of age, rather than pursue the really important issues in the game at this present day,
