HENRY: WE CAN FINISH OFF PSV AT HOME
Thierry Henry is convinced Arsenal can overcome any stubborn defending by PSV Eindhoven and overturn a 1-0 defeat to keep their Champions League dream alive.
The Gunners were beaten by the Dutch league leaders on Tuesday following a long-range effort by Edison Mendez.
Manager Arsene Wenger was not impressed by some negative tactics from Ronald Koeman's side, especially in the first half.
Henry, however, accepts that is something Arsenal have to rise above in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium in a fortnight.
He said: "They were waiting for us at the back, we knew that.
"For once we were patient and we were passing the ball around well, creating some chances - but did not find the way to score.
"It is still an open tie and we can do the job at home."
The Frenchman added: "Before in the past we were not doing enough against teams who were just waiting for us.
"But last night (Tuesday) but for three or four magnificent saves by their goalkeeper, we could have gone back home with the victory.
"The only thing I can say is that for once we have to stop being 1-0 down.
"Sometimes football is kind of weird. Before we were more of a team which when we went ahead we won and when we went behind we struggled.
"Now we have turned that around and hopefully we can in this tie. More
