What they Said
"It's time for a fighting spirit and determined attitude to manifest itself, because otherwise we could take as bad a hammering as Leicester did."
"We didn't compete as enthusiastically as we might have done at Chelsea, but at least we are still in there among a whole host of teams who have an escape route.
"It's going to be the teams that want to survive the most who will achieve that.
"We have to prove that our determination to stay up is greater than that of everybody else."
Martin OโNeill.
