Why Newcastle Unitedas Europa Group conflict with Benfica brings straight back memories for Olivier Bernard Olivier Bernard enjoying for Newcastle against Marseille in 2004 Tonight's game with Benfica gives straight back lots of memories of Newcastle Unitedas last good work in Europe when I was part of Bobby Robsonas group which reached the semi- finals whenever we lost to Marseille in 2004. I've to say the current United staff looks in better shape in terms of availability. Which was our time for you to get a prize and however we had too many injuries and too many key men missing. The pace of this team gives confidence to me Newcastle will make it all the way to the final. When you have someone like Moussa Sissoko, who powers forward a whole lot, and Papiss Cisse, who can discover a way through anytime, then it is Newcastle who can ask the hard questions of Benfica. We were really close under Sir Bobby. I still think Marseille were a group we should have beaten in the home. As an alternative, we drew 0-0 and unfortunately we had eight or nine people out injured. We did pretty well but we'd no rate in the team. There is no Jonathan Woodgate or Kieron Dyer in the second leg and that managed to get a difficult night against a group like Marseille a' they'd Didier Drogba in their ranks. If you do not have your starting XI, it's hard. But, now in the quarter-finals, I thinkA Newcastle is capable of big things when they do play together. Today is a great possibility to demonstrate how synchronised they can be and when they bond they can cause some injury. Their part will be played by the crowd also, obviously, but Newcastle have the equipment to win this one by two goals at the least. Considering the initial leg, you may see technically and tactically Benfica were an excellent side. Nevertheless, with regards to energy Newcastle managed pretty much to put them on the trunk foot. Playing in the home will give United the advantage in terms of participants seeking to win the ball with this power, then utilising the speed we have to hurt them. It's important United press very early and score a quick goal. Should they can accomplish that, then anything can happen. It is a great way to really just take the game at home. United know they've to score twice to go through and they know they've to offer it everything without even thinking too deeply. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH LEE RYDER
