In a one off winner takes all match against Bayern and City we're likely to come out worse but our strength this season has been consistency and that's why we're top of the league.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't try but that's the likely scenario.
Why do we have this inferiority complex? Should we not give it our all because we might lose to City in a later round?
As long as we're in it, we've got a good chance of winning it. The worst case scenario is we have to face City or Chelsea at some point and we are able to beat them. There's a fair chance that we might not have to face either of them.
In an average season I wouldn't care but for me this season is about breaking the trophy drought once and for all and I'd rather us do what we're capable of doing to win rather than chase pipe dreams ........ just for this season.
I mean look at our squad ffs, we have no strikers, I don't think its sunk in yet to see how much trouble we are actually in.
Our only saving grace is that when Giroud returns maybe Gnarby is ready to stand in for Walcott, and Podolski is back, but as it stands our two most prolific goal scorers (Walcott & Ramsey) are both out.
We have to work within our limits unless Wenger buy's a striker, then we're back in business.
