I hope they bring a strong team. I want to pit ourselves against the best Man City.

Well be having a go at them, the pitch will be a little bit different to what theyre used to.“I just hope a few of them have an off day and all my players play to the best of their ability, because if that happens at Rodney Parade weve got a chance.Theyre littered with so much quality, but its a chance for our players to stand up and be counted. I know youre probably thinking, Has he lost the plot here? Is he actually thinking they can do something? But If I dont think that then how are my players going to believe that?Ive got to lead them the right way and give them the belief that if they can play the game of their lives they can stop the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne.Lets not forget a lot of them marked Harry Kane out of the game for long periods, the players have that ability when theyre on their game.Listen back to Newport County manager Michael Flynn on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
