Unlike many on here, I don't think it's vital to score early. We're only one behind, so the vital thing is to stop them scoring early. I've no doubt they'll come out of the blocks very fast, so keep it tight for 25 minutes and they might lose momentum. If we go in at half time 0-0, I'll be pretty happy.
The trouble is, the best way to keep it tight is to still be able to pose a threat up front, but without a striker, we can't do that. As we all know, it's that lack of a striker that has and will cost us in every way this season. In both games in the Barca/Inter tie, I'd say that Barca were the better side, but Inter showed exactly what you can do with capable strikers who can harass defenders and take half chances. We don't have that threat.
Anyway, feeling pretty relaxed, because as others have said, not expecting anything.
Still, fingers crossed and stranger things have happened.
Up The Gunners.
