Ryan loves Edwin, "Edwin didn't put a foot wrong," said Giggs after the tie in Portugal earlier this week. "He could quite easily have spilled some of the shots he had to save because the pitch was quite bumpy. But he made it look quite easy. He has a calming effect on the whole team because he doesn't make that many mistakes. He has been doing it for so long now, you take it for granted.
"Defensively, we were very good. We all know how important it is to keep clean sheets because with the amount of talent in this team, we will create chances. All we need to do is get that last pass, or that last decision right and the goals will come. Hopefully we can go on an unbeaten run. Each win breeds confidence and we hope to take that into Sunday.
"Whether we win or lose the game, I don't think it'll have too much bearing on where the championship goes. It's all about being consistent across the entire season. Chelsea are a solid team with good experience. They have great discipline so it's hard to create chances against them, but we've done alright in the last few years. They're normally tight affairs so you like to try and score the first goal. But it's all about having consistency against all the teams you have to play against. Hopefully we can get the result we want."
Fergie loves Ronaldo, "I'm pleased that he's off the mark for the season. His suspension derailed him a little bit, but I'm sure he's back on track now. It was good night for us. Winning your first match of the group away from home, just like we did last season, sets the tone. Getting a good start is always important.
"This victory will give the players a good confidence boost because we went a couple of years without winning away from home in Europe. Last season we changed that trend and it got us back to how we were eight or nine years ago when we were a constant threat away from home. Tactically things were, in the main, very good. Our penetration was better in the second half and there was more purpose to our game. They had some opportunities from the edge of the box, but they never really opened us up and that was our plan."
And Nemanja, "Nemanja reminds me of Steve Bruce in the sense he always asks a question of defenders," said Ferguson. "He wants to know whether they have the courage to put their head in front of his. "He is a throw back to the old style of defender, but there is no question he can play, there is not a doubt about it. But he doesn't mess about in terms of clearing the ball. He acts like a defender."
"He got me five goals last season and has already got one this year. I think he can easily get between five and 10 because he has got just the right qualities."
