Javi Garcia
Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia has come out fighting in defence of the team he picked to play against Arsenal last time out and insists fans will see a different approach from his side Tuesday night when they host Nottingham Forest. While a number of team selection decision were questioned by supporters and some pundits alike, Gracia was keen to point out how well he believes his side handled the Premier League leaders, while also admitting the approach will change against a fellow relegation rival in Nottingham Forest.
Javi Garcia said: “I expect a more offensive game for us than the last one. Against Arsenal you say what you want but at the end of the game it was 53 per cent possession for us. Of course we have to know a way of having that amount of possession and try to be offensive and be brave. I think we did it with five shots on target, Arsenal had six shots on target. We competed well. Now, playing at home I expect a different game and a more offensive game with more possession and most importantly a better result. I have to keep an eye on the next games and keep an eye on the games my players played before in international teams. The line-up, I was thinking those players and that formation was the best to play against Arsenal in that moment.”
