I think if we man mark Fabregas with Mascherano (or Sissoko) and get him nipping at his heals we can unsettle Arsenal, If you saw the Bolton game Diouf got into Fabregas' head and he can get sloppy, both those players were on the verge of a red card, and more importantly Arsenal didn't score for that half or threaten as much.
If we stop Fabregas we can stop the majority of the attacks since everything seems to go through him (he makes like 50 passes a game).
Doesn't help me typing this though, Rafa will has his plan, and under him we've had mixed results. Best one being the game we won 2-1. Alonso scoring from a great passing move, Vieira scoring from Arsenal's only shot (Oh no Henry had a halfway lash), then Mellor unleashing over the top of a diving Harry Kewell in the last minute!!
