Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "It is important for my team to perform well. I put all my energy into my team. We need to reduce the gap between performances and points and I still feel young enough, even more than before. I still have the same envy and motivation to perform and to put my energy into my club and into my team."
"I see Anderlecht as a young and dynamic side," he added. "They could cause problems to us tomorrow. They are not here by chance and they played a good game against Galatasaray. We lost some enthusiasm, but we have lost only one game in the Premier League. We do not have enough points compared to the potential and performances of the players."
