i prefer it if we have had won by a few more goals, this match remind me of the wolves game though. I settle for the 3 points. But we need to step up an extra gear
Here is Fergie comments after the game
Options For The Cup Final
“I think it was a battle for us, I think we expected that. I made some changes simply because I need to get players playing again. We’ve got that target of the cup final, so I need to get players back so I am covered on all options.”
Scrappy Performance
”We were scrappy in our game. It was only for fleeting moments that we had any fluency to our game. In periods, we did produce some good stuff, mainly through Saha, Scholes and Ronaldo.
Leicester Pressure
”The one thing you have to do against Leicester is to defend really well. They do put you under pressure. Their delivery of the ball to the front players is very good. Their set-piece play, long throw-ins – it all keeps you under pressure. What we did show tonight was that our back was excellent."
Leicester Take Credit
"Leicester can take a lot of credit out of this game, simply because they kept us under pressure all the time."
Gary Neville's Winner
"Well, he normally gets a goal a year - he's got it today!"
Ronaldo Blossoming
"I think we've done the right thing with him, spreading the load for the lad. He came on for half an hour on Saturday of course and he had a full game here tonight. With a game on Saturday, we will have to give that a little consideration in how to use him. He must get his rest simply because he is a young and we want to see him develop properly."
Best Still To Come
"I think that, in two years' time, he will be an absolutely outstanding player."
One Of The Best?
"We're certainly hopeful of that."
Keane And Ruud To Return
"They both have a very good chance. In fact, I expect them both to be fit for Saturday. Ryan Giggs should be ok, I had him as a sub because he wasn't 100% fit. He should be ok for Saturday. I think everyone will be fit apart from Phil Neville."
Season's Target
"We're not using Chelsea as the target. We've got a target of winning games all the time."
