The Swansea City manager was speaking as his side prepared for their replay with Fulham at Craven Cottage this evening.<\/p>\n
He told the Evening Post “We are a stronger side than we were when we lost to Havant<\/p>\n
“We are stronger mentally, technically and tactically, but the one thing we can take from that game going into this one is that anything can happen in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
“Us losing to Havant won’t be the last upset in the cup, and it’s nice for us that we can wear the underdog tag this time.<\/p>\n
“It gives you that little bit of extra feeling and hopefully it can help us against Fulham.<\/p>\n
“They are in a good moment of form and their home record is fantastic, but we go there with hope and that’s a great compliment to us.<\/p>\n
“But realistically, every time we take on a Premier League club we need a good performance, a bit of luck and a bit of magic of the cup to get through.<\/p>\n
“They will look to dictate things and they have four strikers who can score out of nothing,” added Martinez.<\/p>\n
“We have to go there and try to compete and, if we can do that, I will be happy.<\/p>\n
“The fans will dream about United, but all I want is a performance which shows we are growing and will help us in our league campaign.<\/p>\n
“We have still got options in the squad and we must look for solutions in the squad first.<\/p>\n
“Joe was enjoying his football and he has had a massive impact. It’s unfortunate that we are going to miss him and Garry, two big players, but we have to deal with it as a squad.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
