An air of confidence

I was in manchester last night with the mrs. There were a lot of citeh fans about talking their usual rubbish about how their youth teams have always been the best in the country.

With a few noteable exceptions, they haven't really had the same impact on the prem. They're in a process of trying to buy success and so far they've been unsuccessful.

Mancini's citeh is a compact, tactical, hard working team. They've purchased players from top top sides and they're slowly bringing it together on the pitch.

Stars like David Silva are beginning to find their feet and making an impact.

It will be a tough game to us today. Citeh will try and win the ball in the middle of the park and try and break with pace.

We need to be compact, tidy with the ball and committed. I'm excited. A win for us today is a big step forward this season. Its a must win.

We will need arshavin, nasri and fabregas today. Their top quality can win it for us.

Come on you Gooners!!
