It was a good win on Saturday, but lets focus a little. West Ham made us look good. They were awful and didn't really offer any threat and didn't show any thing that made me feel worried.
It was a win though and that can only take us forward with positivity to Elland Road on wednesday. Keep the same squad Arsene!! At least for the first half!! Continuity and confidence is what a footballer needs to maintain momentum and performance.
You can't give them that if you keep chopping and changing your lineup. Look at the Tinkermen Ranieri and Benitez. They're always making changes, rotation is necessary I agree, but when its a game you need to dominate from the first minute, start with what you know works and then tinker when you are ahead.
I remember an old Darts saying, "Its scores for show, but doubles for dough" - In translation, it doesn't matter how you play, its the result that gets you the money.
Team lineup's as best as I can guess will be up later today, I suspect even Arsene isn't sure yet. Plus a preview of the second leg at Elland Road to come.
