I go into a game feeling that I can get the better of whoever I am playing against. [LNB]"With the team spirit we have around the place you go into a game knowing that your team-mates will do their job too. It's a nice feeling knowing everybody is up for it and there are no weak links. [LNB]"A lot of teams line up against United or Liverpool and they are beaten before they leave the changing room. I think the only way to go about things is to have a go." [LNB]OpponentsRafa Benitez's Liverpool side have not enjoyed the best start to the league season, but Reid is not expecting Saturday's game to be an easy task.[LNB]"Just because we got a draw at Old Trafford I hope people don't come down to the game expecting us to beat Liverpool 2-0 or 3-0," he added.[LNB]"I can tell you now we aren't going to beat Liverpool 3-0. All we can do is give the same level of performance and hopefully get the result we want.[LNB]"I feel that everybody has a much clearer idea what is expected of them individually and as part of the team. The manager explains himself very well. [LNB]"His preparation is incredibly thorough and that is paying off. I am enjoying playing out on the left and don't really want to move into the middle to be honest. [LNB]"I am trying to nail down a spot and make it my own so I am concentrating on developing my game on the left side." [LNB]
