Wenger: We flow when we are confident

Dear Supporter,

We scored six goals on Saturday and their keeper, Paul Robinson, still had a great game. And that 6-2 win over Blackburn leaves us in a strong position.

Despite the fact that we have lost two games, if you look at the away games we had they are in places where other teams can drop points. We have had four away games to Manchester United and City, Everton and Fulham. We got six points but we had the impression we should have won the two games in Manchester and that made our resolve even stronger.

Cesc Fabregas had an excellent game against Blackburn. I felt he had already given a good performance on Tuesday night against Olympiacos too.

He started the season a little less sharp physically but in the last two or three games he has become stronger and stronger. We know that in every game he creates chances. What is important for him is to score goals and today he scored as well so that's a relief for him certainly.

I have seen him play quite a few good games. When we went forward as a whole team on Sunday we always looked like we could score and when you look he is always in the middle of it, at the start or at the end. A team goes always naturally through its strong points, that's the way of the game. So it goes, therefore, through Fabregas.

The best answer to all the transfer speculation over Cesc is to play well on the football pitch and to show that you are happy to be where you are.

The best way to show that you are happy is to be happy to play football with your partners. And with this team there is something in the side that is light-hearted and enjoyable to watch. Why? Because you feel they enjoy what they do and they enjoy playing together. That is, for me, the most important thing.

The fifth goal - scored by Theo Walcott - was fantastic. When we are confident we have a flow that looks like the goals could come at any moment from anywhere. There are some strengths coming out of this team and we have to add some discipline defensively because we struggled a little bit defensively. But we looked always like we know we will score goals.

I have to say though, it's difficult to have so many people going forward and to have everybody straight away defending as well. It's a consequence of our philosophy.

Finally, Thierry Henry was watching from the stands on Sunday and he inspired us because our players wanted to show him they can score goals and follow in his footsteps.

It is good to see Thierry back here although I believe he belongs more to Highbury than to Emirates Stadium because certainly, coming back to Highbury, he would have more memories than here. But we were happy to have him with us. He would have scored on Saturday, certainly.

Thanks for your continued support.
