The Spaniard also talked about how they hope to attack the game on Wednesday against a Liverpool side who are looking to close up the gap on Manchester City.
He said: “We are playing better, we have an understanding of what we want.
“We have the right level of confidence, belief and understanding with each other and everything clicks better and quicker.
On how prepared the team is to take on the Reds, the former Arsenal midfielder said ;
“You don’t know how you’re going to take them because you want to play the games and you want to get up to speed with other teams because it’s a bit awkward sometimes when your performances can’t reflect your position in the table at times.
“It’s what it is, we knew that as soon we had to replay those games and we’re going to play them soon.
I think with the level of consistency throughout the game and throughout a run of games, I would say yes.
On whether being in fourth place in thr table will change the mentality of his players he was affirmative.
“Well, it certainly puts you in a position where you’re really looking forward to look up and it gives you the belief that you can be there with the top teams in the country, but the reality is that there’s still a long way to go.
“I think we played against some top teams and we played against City not long ago and you know the problems that they put in.
“Every week is a test in the Premier League and a very different one, and the challenges that you face in those games are completely different, but tomorrow certainly is a team that dominates every aspect of the game, so when that happens you have to be at your best.”
