Thomas Frank spoke about building momentum at home after a big result in midweek.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Copenhagen 4-0 to respond to a 1-0 loss on derby day against Chelsea last weekend. The Champions League display demonstrated what the side can offer when they are in an enterprising mood, and Frank feels the home factor should be a boost, not a hindrance.
“What gives me some confidence that we'll put a good performance out there is that I think most of the performances we've put out this year have been good. In general, over the season, I'm not talking about at home, there's been some that have not been top.
“Two of them, I don’t to run away from that is Bournemouth and Chelsea at home, where the two teams did very well and we on the day didn't find the right solutions to match them.
“But I'm very confident, because I think I see the right layers, the attitude of the players, the ability to want to improve. It's another big game coming up that we're ready for, that we're looking forward to, get the fans behind us and we're ready to do everything we can to win the game.
“It’s a big shirt to wear in many ways. It should be proud. It should be something you're really excited about, wearing this beautiful shirt, playing home and away. It shouldn't matter to play home.
“It should be a massive boost when we play at home. We should feel even more confident, even more aligned, even more willing to do everything. I understand the stats are not too good over a long time.
“For me, now there's a new opportunity and a new opportunity we need to embrace in the best possible way - coming out there against a great Man United team that's in great form, it'll be a great game, and we'll do everything we can to get out on top.
“It needs to be a collaborative approach between fans and players. I want to do everything we can to win a game. The more we can push each other to bring that positive energy in, the better.
“And that would be both ways. We will do everything we can to perform, to come flying out, to be on top of the game. Some part of the game we will not, because we face a good team. No team will have momentum in 90 minutes. But that positivity, we definitely need to build on that.
“I think it's been overall, fine. We've been doing well to be able to get the amount of points we got in the Champions League and in the Premier League, competing in two fronts at the same time.
“In terms of how we play, I think there's been some really positive bits, especially on the defensive side and the set-pieces, and we're adding layers to the offensive part of the game. We're far from where I want us to be. I’ve no doubt we'll get there, but we're taking steps in the right direction.”
