That sentiment extends beyond our European duties, with a big fixture now rolling into view: a meeting with our crosstown rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday (15 December, kick-off 16:30).
"You know what it means to play a Manchester derby. You know how much it means for the city, for our fans.
"So we have to do everything we can to win that game because, like I said in Europa League, it's the same in the league, we're not in the position we want to be, we need points, we need to win.
"And for us, obviously, it's Manchester City, it's a Manchester derby, but it's just one more game that we want to, and we have to, win."
