Yes, I have said it before. We will win with a 2 goal difference at Emirates. I am almost prepared to put in a 'Will close acount if' statement.

:rofl1: Your still doing this
You my friend have a strange fetish

I don't think we will be tired. We will look sharp physically probably.
I consider myself to be sensitive in regard to player fatigue and management.
I am not worried. :)
IMO I feel there has been some wise energy saving by players during games and some wise rotations by Lucho. If I had to get pedantic then it would be with the front 3 of MSN but I am picking at straws.

We have the experience of dealing with this sort of away games, we'll go for possession and hold the ball and try not to give Arsenal a way in.

Even though I fully trust Lucho & staff in terms of preparation, there is no doubt the schedule took its toll physically.

I expect efficiency with effort for us, holding the ball, not desperately going for that away goal, but rather play with some caution and let MSN exploit any small inaccuracy in their defense line, it's Arsenal after all, they'll get exposed eventually.

If somehow we manage to control the game and kill Arsenal early pressure, our away goal will most likely come first. If that happens, Arsenal will face a new game plan with the wrong odds and get cleaned out.

However, if they pressure us and score first, i believe our experience will not let us rush about it and we'll try to slowly get back in it and score.

That's how i see it, hopefully our key players have a good/great day.

Only thing I'm worried is fitness and the poor form caused by it. Unless something devastating happens, no way in hell we should be shitting our pants over Arsenal.
