"The club should be proud of that [the 2-2 vs United] and the fans should be proud but it's still one point. And this is another chance to try and get three points for the club. And we have to go into this game as a fresh game and think about it in a fresh way.
"Whatever happened in the last game for me is now closed. The book’s closed on it. We go again and we try and get three points."
