Goalless draw Arsenal in the Lord just take the last eight women in the Champions League on Wednesday, but Laura Harvey expect something like that.
Women Control Manager has seen his team on the first leg against Rayo Vallecano last week, but have left many opportunities to put the tie to bed. Instead, Arsenal will be a draw, 1-1, and knowing that a clean sweep at the Meadow Park sees them through, but Harvey does not contribute to a negative approach to the second stage.
"Our mentality never changes - just want to win every game we play," he told news.
"Wednesday will be no different, we will not go for something else, but the victory and we will live and die for that. If you sit at a team like the Lightning and give them time and space to play is when they can be more dangerous. It is probably more harmful to try to cling to what we have.
"We know that the quality they have and if you let them play it's going to hurt. If you can put them under pressure, like a lot of teams, will give you the best chance of winning them. And 'what we have done last week, and we created many chances to score would have been much more to our advantage. "
Rayo meeting last year is still fresh in the mind, and no wonder Harvey. Arsenal went back to hit 2-0 deficit to lead 3-2 in the aggregate only to be granted, perhaps to die of destination before the last gasp winner Katie Chapman took the Gunners.
Harvey memories of this meeting has fueled frustration of missed opportunities last week in Spain, but took consolation from his team against the Rayo improved performance this year.
"We played much better than last week we did a year earlier, but we have not taken our chances," she said. "Goalkeeper for Rayo had a game a little unusual and finishing bad to tell us that the game is still in balance.
"We wanted to make the link and as a group we were disappointed. It was for reasons totally different this time because 12 months ago we did not create many chances and deserve to be beaten. This year, we created a lot and played very well, but could not put the ball in the back of the net. Sometimes the little things that make a difference in these games.
"But it's a big plus that we know we can create chances against them and we will take it in Wednesday's game, there are great things about the Champions League -. If something is not right in the first game, you can put it right into the second round. It has made us even more determined to make us the next round.
"We have taken a step to get the away goal, now we want to ensure comfort to get through. Actually, I do not want a last minute victory last year, but, of course, if that's what works, then we will take. "
Faye White and Julie transient was excluded for the second stage through injury, but otherwise, Harvey has a complete team to choose from.
"We face Julie and Faye will be unavailable for large portions of this year and managed very well," he said. "We know what we do when we have players from all over and we just have to go really."
