On whether he used the Carabao Cup tie with West Ham earlier this season in his preparations for this fixture…
No, I don’t think I used the previous game to this game. They played back then with different players, I think - they mostly played with their non-starters. We played that game also mostly with our non-starters if you look at the long term of players that played most. So, I don’t think there’s a comparison between these two games. The good thing for us is that we scored so many goals because that’s what football is about - scoring goals and hoping the fans like what they see today.
So we do have starters and non-starters, I didn’t know…
I mean that just looks like a convoluted way of saying what has become standard practice for the League Cup – give minutes to players who haven’t otherwise gotten many minutes.
