We are scoring counter-attacking goals when we have our best players available and on the pitch. In the last few months we've had rvp, cesc, nasri, Walcott, wilshere, song available. And when those 6 are on their game, there is no defence in the league that can cope. For the second goal against barca , if denilson was on the pitch instead of wilshere, do you think that pass would've been made first time to cesc? No chance.
I've always said that if our first choice team is ever available for a significant part of the season, we would be the best team in England. It's starting to come together now -- the counter-attacking goals and general quality comes from having threats all through the midfield and attack. In recent seasons too many key players kept getting injured for months and there's no way any team can deal with that. Let's hope this season is different and the big players stay fit.
Hope our travelling fans enjoy the game tomorrow. Personally, I'm not that fussed about it and I don't think the psychological impact will be huge either way. No matter what is said in the press, this is a bigger deal for the fans.
Wenger has a big decision to make about whether start diaby. I predict nasri will have a big game and get us over the line; 2-1.
