It's Going To Take A Phenomenal Performance - Pressley

Last updated : 24 January 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City Manager Steven Pressley feels that it is going to take a phenomenal performance for the Sky Blues from league One to win at Arsenal, the Premier League leaders tonight, when the side meet in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie.

Pressley told the Coventry Teelgraph's Andy Turner: “It’s going to take a phenomenal performance and the right mentality. “It’s going to take players playing to the absolute detail. But make no mistake, when you go there to win a game of football against that level of opposition we’re going to need luck on the night. And I just hope luck’s with us because if all those factors come together then you just never know.

“We need to show real bravery in possession, we need to be aggressive in possession and aggressive on the counter attack, but we have to be very compact and close as a unit out of possession and working to the detail that we always work towards.

“We have to do what it takes. Recovery positions are so important against Arsenal because they are such a threat on the counter attack.

“The FA Cup has been a really great distraction for us this year. Up at Barnsley and winning in front of a great travelling support was a terrific day for us and there will be over 5,000 Sky Blues fans there tonight and we’d love to give them something to get excited about.”
