‘If we got there, to the final with City, I’d feel more confident.
‘But we’ve got to be more ruthless with the chances – you’ve got see games off so you can relax in games.
‘At the moment we’re not taking those chances even though in the end we won the game, but if we could take those chances, I’d be more confident about going to play these teams because we’re defending a lot better.’
