New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sees little point in analysing his team's Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants four years ago.

And the superstar – three times a Super Bowl winner – says his team has already worked out most of their game plan for Sunday's rematch.

Brady, who has also been MVP twice in the sport's showpiece event, has not been able to avoid replays of the crushing loss to the Giants in 2008 that denied the Patriots an undefeated season.

But he said: "It's a different scheme, it's a different defence. Some of the players and the match-ups are the same, but I can see those from when we played the Giants in week nine this season.

"There is not a lot of things that you can take from that game."

Just seven members of the Patriots current roster featured in the defeat to conclude the 2007 National Football League season and only 15 members of the Giants winning team are returning.

Brady has previously discussed the pain of watching his team's last-minute loss to the Giants but, like all the Patriots staff, has talked down any notion of revenge being a motivator.

"Every loss hurts. You have to move on and use those as opportunities to learn. I think this team has done that," he said.

Meanwhile, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said: "It's still us against the world, and that's how we play that, period. We're still under-dogs and we still have an awful lot to prove."
