'WE FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE DOING OK'

Gary Neville:

"We feel as though we are doing OK.

"Over the whole season, our form in the League has not been overly bad. If you look at our points tally, our victories and our number of losses, they would not be below par for this time of the season.

"We have lost two games so far. In some seasons we have lost far more than that and still gone on to win championships. But we must also recognise the bar has been raised and we have to raise our standard with that.

"Obviously, the title is out of our hands just now because Chelsea are winning every single match they play.

"All we can do is concentrate on our own job, get the victories we need and hope something happens in terms of Chelsea dropping points.

"People may argue the games we have had over the last week or so were not the toughest we could have had but we have approached them in the right way and done our jobs, which is all we can do.

"I always believe we are a better side overall when we take a decent ratio of our chances because we tend to create so many. Unfortunately, against Everton a couple of weeks ago, and the likes of Manchester City and Blackburn before that, we haven't taken our opportunities and that cost us in terms of the overall result."
