It is one thing beating a mixed Liverpool side at the Emirates and another thing altogether going away to Greece to play a Champions League with the opposition needing a result
Nasri, Walcott, Denilson and Rosicky are all playing at about 70% and games will increase that figure. Bendtner, Diaby and Clichy are all to come back and give us more options
