Thats what we have done since the start of the season. Wednesday we play a team with a different style; a team who play possession, slow and quick. Highlights from Arsenals 1-1 draw with Manchester United We have to show that we can cope with that because they play a lot of possession and then suddenly they play quick with Edinson Cavani, Lucas Moura, they can accelerate a game.We have to show we can deal with that style, a different style to what we are used to. In England, we always play with power.With the likes of Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid both competing in Group D while Borussia Dortmund and holders Real Madrid do battle in Group F, the concept of getting an easier opponent in the last-16 by topping the group and therefore facing a runner-up may be out-dated. Wenger says Manchester Citys win over Barcelona shows English teams can compete with Europes best I feel guilty when we finish second and have a difficult tie, conceded Wenger.Lets finish first and at least we have the advantage to play the second game at home. Hopefully we will be injury free and have everyone available.You want to finish first, knowing that. Is there an actual difference? I dont know. The other groups might look at ours and think: Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal who is better? I dont know.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price. Hurry, offer ends December 4!
