I believe we have got the players that can go to any stadium in the world and perform and score goals. I think collectively the spirit within the group is there."
"We have the chance to make our fifth final in 10 years in the Carabao Cup. I prefer to start with 2-0 up but I know perfectly how many times we have played Newcastle - the pride they have.
