There have been millions of media and print stories about Arsenal’s upcoming game against Man City, and most of them seem to be predicting yet another big win for City as they rush towards the League title, but as Admin explained earlier, Arsenal should have no fear about facing Pep Guardiola’s side.
Our excellent record against them means that we can go to the Etihad in a positive mood and Theo Walcott is also aware of what the Gunners need to do to take the points tomorrow. “We need to concentrate on our strengths because we are quietly going about our business in the Premier League at this time,” Walcott said. “It is going to be the biggest test we have faced this season so far.
“Everyone needs to be ready, it isn’t going to be easy but, without doubt, we have a chance. We have quality throughout this whole squad.
“It is very early days still but they seem to score more goals, but defensively I still feel like we can get at them, they will be worried about us.
“We need to concentrate on their main threats but you can’t go into a game being afraid of teams because that is a negative straight away. You need to be positive.”
There is no doubt that Wenger is a master at getting the Arsenal players motivated for a big game, although it doesn’t always work out! But he will make sure that we go into the game with a positive attitude, and with our recent excellent record against City it should be an even easier task than usual….
