Arsenal cannot afford to sit back against Villarreal, says Tom Dart
Arsenal need only a scoreless draw to qualify. Is there a danger they will be caught in two minds tonight?
Arsene Wenger will impress on his team the need to attack and not get caught out playing for a 0-0, which is what happened when they played Villarreal three years ago. Arsenal were almost taken to extra time by a last-minute penalty in that game, which fortunately for them was missed. I hope they have learned their lesson.
As we saw last night, no matter what the manager might say beforehand, if a side doesn't need to win, their instinct is to be cautious. That could be very dangerous for Arsenal. With their defensive problems, they are not set up to play for a goalless draw. .timesonline.co.uk
