Evo wants Pool to attack Reds

Last updated : 01 December 2010 By INOIT

Next weekend the Seasiders host a United side who moved to the top of the Barclays Premier League on Saturday by crushing Blackburn 7-1.

Many teams would approach the task with a defensive mindset, but Evatt is sure Blackpool will look to continue playing the sort of dynamic football that has served them so well in the top flight since their promotion from the Championship last season.

"We're excited every week. We're seeing every game as a cup final and every ground and stadium is totally different to the ones we're used to," Evatt told www.blackpoolfc.co.uk.

"It's an unbelievable experience. As players you want to play against the very best in the world and that's what we're doing week in, week out at the minute.

"We're just going to go into it with an open mind and play the way we only know we can."

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway would prefer to be watching a film, not football, over the festive period.

Holloway, whose team face Manchester United on Saturday, will entertain Liverpool on Boxing Day.

But he said: "What I find hard to understand is we are playing five or six games in one month. What is that all about?

"A winter break? That would be lovely. As a member of the British public I would not want to go out on Boxing Day in the freezing cold.

"I would rather stay at home with my family and watch a film. Family is what it is all about.

"Travelling the length and breadth of the country, it's crazy. We should stay at home and have some turkey."
