Nicklas Bendtner is happy to
shoulder the responsibility of being Arsenal's main attacking
threat.
With Emmanuel Adebayor doubtful for this weekend's clash against
Aston Villa, the Dane could well lead the line again for Arsene
Wenger's troops.
Despite only being 20 years old, the striker has no qualms about
being thrust into the limelight once again should Adebayor miss out
as Robin van Persie is still suspended.
If anything, Bendtner believes he raises his game when more is
expected of him.
"They aren't involved at the moment but whether they are fit or
not doesn't change my mentality," he said.
"If the manager picks me I will always do whatever I can. I love
the pressure - you could say I prefer it and thrive on it.
"I love it when people are thinking that this is the guy who
needs to score or create something today if we are to win.
"That's how I set myself up for every game.
"It's good if people have big expectations for you. If people
are expecting things from me, than I'm happy to take it."
