£1000 UP FOR GRABS
saying this on his way to Spain:
"I have no idea who will play - give you £1000 if you can
name my side."
He has said that the results on Saturday have made him make
more changes than he originally wanted to:
"I was going to make changes anyway but maybe not as many
"Given the results at the weekend, it would be silly for us
not to take the opportunity of preparing a team for
tomorrow's game and another one for Fulham.
"What happened on Saturday only proves the vagaries of
football. Anything can happen. We realise there is a long
way to go. There are eight matches all fraught with some
difficulty or other.
"We just have to keep our concentration and see where it
takes us.
"It doesn't matter what first team game it is, you are
always asking questions of a young player when you put them
in,
"But there is a massive difference between the European Cup
and the League Cup, particularly in the tactical and
technical part of the game.
"We will try to strike a balance between youth and
experience tomorrow but I shall be very interested to see
how the young players go."
He has good memories of matches against Deportivo, and hopes
that this one will be just as unforgettable:
"We have good memories of Deportivo last year I think it was
one of our best performances in Europe. Ryan Giggs and Ruud
van Nistelrooy were fantastic that night so we are looking
forward to it."
