Cesc Fabregas interview: Henry Exit Allowed Everyone To Shine
The way the Gunners have taken the season by the scruff off the neck has caught many off guard. However, he is aware that only silverware can truly silence doubters.
"The team is hungry and wants to achieve something to prove people wrong," Fabregas said.
"We want to achieve a lot of things over the next 12 months.
"If we could win everything that would be perfect - but the Premier League is the competition it would be amazing to win."
The Spaniard has already scored 11 times this season, a sharp improvement from the four he scored last season.
Other players such as Alexander Hleb, Emmanuel Adebayor and Tomas Rosicky have all come good this season, and the midfielder believes it has something to do with Thierry Henry's exit.
"I have more responsibility than before," he said. "When you looked at Arsenal a year or two years ago you just saw Thierry Henry.
"It was a little bit like the other players did not exist.
"But when he left it was an opportunity for everybody to show we are a team and a good club.
"Even if the best player in the world is leaving us we can still achieve something."
