What they achieved (last season) speaks for itself. They bought really good players in the summer. They carried on from last year, continued mentally and accelerated the processes. They are unbeaten, this match is a really big test of our credentials. We'll have to find ways to make it very difficult for them and we're looking forward to the game.
It was great to be able to give everyone an opportunity and I thought they responded wonderfully. It was a great team effort. I thought the spirit, determination and collective mentality were top notch. We are in a good place mentally after the win, the whole squad will rise with this performance.
We qualified for the next round of the Carabao Cup. This will be a real test for us, but we are enjoying the games, I must say. We enjoy the different competitions and the change between competitions. That was a really good thing for us and we need to get back to full strength as quickly as possible.

Manager on ArsenalWest Ham Defeat
Every time you have a defeat it takes a few days to get over it, but now the full focus is on Newcastle. Obviously there are things we need to do a lot better in the game, especially the way we compete and the way we concede goals. I don't think the scoreboard at all reflected what happened in the game, but we should have done much better.
Season Start
It's very early and we have to go game by game. We're in a really good position and we have to continue to be there. We have a really tough game against Newcastle tomorrow but these are the games you have to play when you want to be at the top.
Newcastle United
It's a big test. One of the hardest places to go and win. We've done this and there's nothing new, we know what to expect. It's very clear what they do for us, what their strengths are, where the opportunities are. We will try to take the game where we want.
St James' Park
When you play football, you want to play in those atmospheres. It's like going to Sevilla, you know what you're going to get. It's an incredible privilege to play on these grounds, you have to embrace the moment, enjoy it and go for it because it's worth it. These are the arenas where you want to be tested.
