Russia skipper Andrei Arshavin thinks goalkeeper Paul Robinson
is the weak link in the England team.
And the Zenit St Petersburg attacker says Guus Hiddink's men will look
to target the Spurs man in the Euro 2008 qualifier at Wembley on Wednesday.
Robinson has come under heavy criticism for his inconsistent form in recent
weeks, in particular the mistakes that led to Germany's opening goal in
last month's friendly at Wembley.
His place in the side was under pressure from both David James and Scott
Carson, but Steve McClaren chose to stick with Robinson for Saturday's
3-0 win over Israel, during which he was a virtual spectator.
And Arshavin reckons putting pressure on the 27-year-old will be Russia's
best hope at Wembley.
He told The Sun: "I believe they do not have normal 'keepers.
"Robinson, putting it mildly, is not the strongest representative
of his profession - this is our chance!
"We will have to try and disturb Robinson.
"We are relying on a victory against the Englishmen and it is completely
possible in this game. They have weak spots and if we use them we will
definitely conquer."
However, Arshavin reckons getting past the four men in front of Robinson
will be a slightly tougher proposition, but still looked to undermine
their ability.
He said: "Once we're on the field we will forget they are superstars.
As an attacker I'm more interested in finding the weak points in their
defence.
"And in my opinion they have one of the best defences in Europe.
"To force it open will be complicated but individually the English
appear, frankly, weak football players."
