Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has slammed the style of football played by Liverpool ahead of the second-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
"We want to play football and attack," said the Spaniard. "Just because the other team refuse to play, we don't have to do the same thing. We want to stick to our football and that is what we will do.
"It will be difficult because they defend very well. Even at home all they will want to do is defend and catch us on the break."
Fabregas expects to be shadowed again by Javier Mascherano, who missed yesterday's draw between the teams because of a ban.
"Mascherano is amazing," said the Arsenal star. "I could feel his breath on my neck all the time. Liverpool know we like to play through the middle and so they have two holding midfield players."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admitted the emotion of yesterday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool forced him regularly to the touchline.
"I kicked every ball, I felt there was room there to win the game, you know?" said Wenger. "And at some stage, - we didn't reposition quickly enough - we didn't attack the balls on the crosses - we had two or three crosses from the left coming from Clichy where we didn't attack the ball, and waited for the ball so... Of course if I was in there I would not score but I would try from outside [the box]!"
