Via E-Mail, Arsene Wenger wrote:Dear Supporter,
We were a little bit cautious at the start on Saturday, probably because we lost at Upton Park last year. But then we scored our goal through Robin van Persie and in the second half we got the ball down and played a bit more.
We did not make the same mistake we made at Blackburn in August when we sat back a bit. We continued to play and try to go forward. We tried to score the second goal. Robert Green made some very good saves from Van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor but we got the three points.
We had a lot to deal with in the air with West Ham's long balls and the second ball, so it was important to keep the pace of the game high. It's natural to slow the game down when the ball goes in the air so we raised the tempo and played more than we did in the first half. I think that shows the team is maturing tactically.
Mark Noble's tackle on Alex Hleb forced him off the pitch. If it was an accident it was a very bad accident, because if you see Alex's leg it is red and bruised from the knee down to the toes. Noble is usually a fair player but he caught him badly.
I don't think Alex will play on Tuesday against Steaua Bucharest because he could not walk properly after the West Ham game but I am more optimistic about Adebayor's chances. He went off after a kick on the thigh but he looks like he has a good chance to play in Romania.
We are still top of the Premier League and, although there is room for improvement, I am very proud of what the team is achieving at the moment. I believe we can challenge for the title.
Everywhere we go we try and grow and improve - on Saturday we dealt with a slightly different problem because West Ham made it hard for us to play our normal game. We are young so it is normal that in October 2007 we are better than in September 2006.
Thanks for your support.
