I'm not convinced about our attack - I'm worried that while the players have talent that they've forgotten how to utilise it = poor movement & decision making. Furthermore I'm not convinced that ANY of our striker options are suited to the lone striker type role with pace of ball movement.
As for the confidence thing - part & parcel of having a team of development projects.
We've always given United problems when we've starved them of the ball and this is exactly the setup we needed for the CL tie. Isn't it bizarre that when we had nothing to play for, Wenger suddenly goes with conventional wisdom by playing Cesc in his right spot, Diaby where he can be useful and Nasri in a role he was growing in.
We clearly lacked confidence in the final third and United looked nervous but you could clearly see that for once in a long while, the shape of the team looked right just as it did when we beat them at Ashburton. It just goes to show Wenger's hypocrisy and incompetence in the past few weeks, especially his performance in the CL tie.
