Nottingham Forest bo s Steve Cooper says his side cannot let the outcome of Evertons game with Wolves affect preparations for their clash with Arsenal.Forest welcome the Gunners to the City Ground on Saturday night knowing that if Everton lose at Molineux earlier in the day then a victory for them would ensure their Eric Fisher Jersey survival.Even if they lose against Arsenal they could virtually be safe if West Ham beat Leeds and Leicester lose at Newcastle.But Cooper is wary of the attention being anywhere other than a hugely difficult fixture against Mikel Artetas side.I understand, but the opposite could Jordan Lucas Jersey happen as well, the Welshman said in reference to Everton losing. In the end its about us trying to get whatever we can out of our game. If stuff outside of us helps us then great but the other teams will be thinking that about our game as well.Weve got one of the toughest games you can have, theres no doubt about that.Theres a lot of thinking you can do outside of your own game and the impact it might have but youve still got to go and play the game and Demarcus Robinson Jersey whatever happens before and after the biggest determination of the weekend has to be on what we do.Anything can happen this weekend and thats why I think that weve got to be careful that you dont let your mind wander too much into good or negative outcomes. Thats dangerous, weve got to just focus on the game.Were in control of our game and performance, decision-making and what we do. All of the other stuff and Dustin Colquitt Jersey what we Tony Gonzalez Jersey want to achieve and happen is motivation but you have to focus on what achieves your motivation and outcome.Youve got to understand context, of course, and we do but I dont want the context of what ifs, good bad or in between that. At the forefront of our mind is what does it take to be at our best because we need to be against Arsenal.
