In England, in the media its always is it good to qualify because you have a dip because youre not used to playing three games a week, and thats a minus. West Ham will qualify for the Europa League if they defeat Stoke on Sunday But it doesnt matter, we really want to qualify and so were going to do everything we can.Last summer was too early, me and my staff were new and we didnt have enough players.We didnt want to go out, we wanted to qualify, but without damaging or harming the Premier League. If we qualify (this year) its totally different to last year.You dont have to start too early but what is more important is were going to have a thicker squad, or a squad that is ready.

The first time he hasnt thrown a touchdown (against us) and also the first time in Jameis career he hasnt got one, Koetter said.
