We might have a good lead but the tie isn't over. We've got a 4-0 lead and we've got to keep it."[LNB]WinDavid Moyes' side suffered a humiliating defeat to Arsenal on the first day of the season, a result Rodwell was glad the team were able to put behind them.[LNB]He said: "After the Arsenal game we were all desperate to get a win, so to do it in that manner was very pleasing.[LNB]"It really hurt what happened last weekend. All the team, all the squad - we were all affected by it. But we stuck together and we got back on track.[LNB]"I couldn't get that Arsenal result out of my mind and really everybody has been thinking about it all week. That's why it was so important to get this result.[LNB]"We've worked hard in training to try and get it out of our heads but there is no getting away from it. It was a terrible result, a terrible performance and we had to put that right."[LNB]
