When the match is poised at 1-1, you know one mistake could be crucial and there is an understandable nervousness. We seem to want to score the perfect goal when I'd much rather see us get scruffy ones - a toe poke or a ricochet.
More Quotes from Tony Mowbray:
As I've said to him, it's not about one game - he's got to be a threat every time he plays. He has to build a career for himself.Tony Mowbray
It's a journey into the unknown, ... but we will be doing our utmost to get as much information on them as possible. We are going to be underdogs and the fact they won their group last season suggests they are a very good team. We have to be more than wary of them and we will prepare very thoroughly.
Tony Mowbray
I know if Derek is in the team and we create chances, invariably, he will hit the target and score. All I'm trying to make him aware of are the standards required to play at another level. Ian Rush was the best striker I played against because, when I had the ball, he was like a cat. He was always waiting for you to have just one touch too many and would take it off you.
Tony Mowbray
I have told Derek we will see him on Monday because I want him to make sure he gives it plenty of thought, to make sure we are not pushing him in any direction. I want him to have a clear head and make a decision. My advice to Derek would be to go and listen to them and to see what they've got to offer, see what is on the table. My advice is to give it some thought and we'll see you on Monday.
Tony Mowbray
We can't come over here, just sit in and not try to score a goal, ... We don't want to lose 1-0 and then be full of 'what ifs' and wonder why we were not more attacking. If we go a goal down, it won't psychologically damage us too much because we will still have to score one goal to win the tie. If they scored early, our game plan wouldn't really change.
Tony Mowbray
If Derek wants to sign his contract extension, then everything would be great and we could just get on with things. That has always been the case. I have always said that the best-case scenario for us and Derek is that he signs his contract extension and concentrates on his football and scoring goals until somebody that he is happy with comes in with the right money for him.
