ARSENE WENGER will take a huge gamble against Bayern Munich — even though it could result in another Arsenal battering.
Wenger’s Gunners were taught a footballing lesson by the German giants in their Champions League last-16 first leg and went down 3-1 at home.
But the Frenchman admits he will have little option other than to go for Bayern’s throats at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Wenger said: “We have to try to gamble a little bit, go into the game in a very positive mood and get them to be a bit insecure.
“I don’t think we have to be cautious on the night.
“Bayern have such an advantage that we need a goal. If we keep it tight, they’ll always think we have to score three and, the closer it gets to the end, the more comfortable they’ll be.
“We’re chasing the game in a very difficult environment against a team that has no doubts at all.
“Our mentality is to go there, not resigned, but ambitious and provoke things — not go there and think ‘We’ll not qualify anyway’.
“We have to try to put Bayern on the back foot and the only way to do it is to be very positive from the start.
“I don’t think you can just switch it on after an hour if you have been cautious.
“When you have been cautious against a team like Bayern, you risk being 1-0 down as well.
“How will we approach it tactically? I haven’t decided yet. It will be with an ambitious plan, that is for sure.
“Yes, the chance is small but the chance makes the impossible possible. We have to try to achieve it.”
At the same stage in Europe last season, Arsenal were crushed 4-0 by AC Milan before rallying to win the second leg 3-0 at the Emirates.
Wenger said: “We will remember what we did in the second leg against Milan last year when this match arrives.
“We will fight until the very end.”

Sir deluded's departure can't come soon enough.
It's fairly obvious we'll have to just go for it, all out attack. Our defence isn't good enough for any sort of tactical game so the task is simple, get three more goals than them even if we concede nine. Wenger says very strange things, it can't be disputed, but what he's saying here seems reasonable enough. What else can he say? This is precisely the type of game that was lost the moment RvP walked out, and Fabregas and the string of players before them. That's why the Inter triumph of years gone has no bearing on the present day but no harm trying to grab whatever inspiration is available considering the magnitude of the task. Hopefully there will be more than mere words and the team will just go for it. The team selection will tell the story. If Ramsey or Diaby are picked then it's all hot air.
