Arsenal ready to go for it
Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal will not hold back against AC Milan on Tuesday and will be 'going for it' from the first whistle.
Arsenal go into the second leg of the UEFA Champions League last-16 clash with a four-goal deficit to make up.
Whilst Wenger admits the chances of them overturning the 4-0 loss from the first leg are slim, they will give it their best.
"I can take a risk, because I have no choice, basically. I can play six strikers if I want," Wenger joked.
"I have enough strikers: I have [Marouane] Chamakh, Park [Chu-yung], Van Persie, Gervinho, Walcott and Chamberlain."
"We have to gamble a bit and go forwards. We want to have a real go, we want to make it possible.
"We will not accept going out of the Champions League. We'll give it our best shot."
Chance
Wenger even admits that he thinks his side are not without a chance of overturning the tie.
"I have a gut feeling they can do it, and my job until 7.45 tomorrow night is to convince them they can do it," he said.
"The best way is to ignore the first game and do what we did against Tottenham.
"We were 2-0 down and we just kept going because we wanted to win the game. I have always said that the mentality in this team is very good.
"You can understand, that's the first time we've lost 4-0 away from home in a Champions League tie and you can't really be happy.
"That was a massive disappointment. We [were] poor and we have to face the truth as well. I include myself in that, I don't disassociate myself either.
"Sometimes when you made a big score, the difficulty is always psychological.
"When you have made a big [victory margin] you think you just need to turn up and make sure you defend well. And the other team has nothing to lose."
