 On
the game
“We
could have a non-event game if we wanted to," he said. "But that
is not the way we want it to be.
"We want an exciting game and we will do our best to challenge
the young players who do play.
On Darron Gibson
"Sometimes you cannot hold a young man back and that time is
approaching for Darron now because he is becoming a good,
powerful midfield player.
"He is not playing the amount of football he would wish for but
he has never let it get to him in terms of being unsettled.
"His performances in training are excellent and he comes in each
day knowing it is going to be worthwhile. |
