Silvestre insists Arsenal are united

Mikael Silvestre insists Arsenal's dressing room will bounce back from this week's 4-4 draw. "As the manager said there were a lot of positive things about this game but it is something we have to bounce back from very quickly," Silvestre told the club's official website.

"It was painful because, at 4-2 up, you think you have won it and conceding two goals in the last four or five minutes of the game is very hard. It feels like we lost that game.

"I didn't think I would score that early in my Arsenal career but it was good to get it back to 1-1.

"I think we made it difficult for ourselves because we had to concede that first goal to press a bit more, be more aggressive and more positive in our game.

"We would rather play like we played at West Ham, where we were much more sturdy. It was a good team performance there. If we can repeat that [on Saturday] it would be better than the 4-4."
