We had a proper look at it the next day.<br />“Sometimes it was a  bit confronting. It was a long meeting, one hour or something, but we  went from there, started again this week and got a couple of really good  sessions in and everyone feels ready to face West Ham.<br />“When you look at the defensive mistakes, it starts somewhere else. That’s what we looked at as well.<br />“It’s  not just the one mistake that happens – there’s a mistake before the  mistake and before the mistake, sometimes positional wise.”<br />Van  Persie has also spoken to captain Wayne Rooney and summer loan signing  Radamel Falcao to discuss how they can become a more potent strikeforce.<br />“We  want to play together,” he said. “We are constantly talking to each  other, asking ‘how can we improve our game together?’ Everyone feels  together we are stronger.<br />“It’s quite interesting to see one of  these conversations because we all have the same targets. We all want to  win games and to share success.”</div></div></div></div>
