Fabregas Geared To Go…

Tonight, Arsenal face Panathanikos in what is now a fairly crucial Champions League tie.
Ahead of the game, Patrick Vieira has been talking about his likely midfield partner, Cesc Fabregas.
“What I like about Cesc is that he is not afraid at all,” said Vieira of the teenager. “He will be a big star for Arsenal in the future. He is like Xavi at Barcelona, a midfielder who reads the game really quickly.”
Paddy is exactly right. Cesc will be great tonight because he knows no fear. He oozes class, and against the tight defences of European competition, his perceptive passing will be critical.
Robin van Persie also deserves another chance, most likely from the bench.
Oh, and watch out: Arturo Lupoli is coming.
