RELEVANT CHATTER

POTENT QUOTABLES

• Tommy McNamara: “I don’t think we feel too much pressure.”
• Patrick Vieira: “In the game we will go through a difficult period and we will need [the fans] to be the 12th man, to get behind and support the team in these moments. We strongly believe we can turn this around and their help will be massively important.”
• Khiry Shelton: “We’re going to look at film, we’re going to hit it hard. We know what we can do and how we can damage teams.”
