I think Maier was good at it too

Arsenal now dominating

Lothar thinks their Kurzspassspiel ist einzigartig

still too complicated though

f@ck we're turning on the heat. Need to score now.

Eduardo is poor though, why he is infront of Bendtner I really dont get.

because he's playing left winger. wenger did the same with RVP for a while... Bendtner is Ade stand in.

I don't care who joins Ade but either edurado or Bendtner should pair him.

Now arsenal are playing at their tempo!

Yo Wenger another great chance for a counterattack wasted because every body bar Ade was nearly in our own box...

NICK THE VIKING!

Finally Bendtner on for Eduardo!

Pato doing a Ronaldo!

Arsenal DIVE by Eboue!

I thought Eboue's earlier booking was harsh. Perhaps a penalty would have been harsh too, but Jankulovski did catch him with his knee even if Eboue made a bit of a meal of it. Hleb could do with taking more responsibility in some situations, with daring to shoot. Arsenal's final ball and finishing has just been poor, even lackadaisical.

A typical piece of Walcott magic, as I write, leads to the best chance of the game but Adebayor only heads against the bar from a yard out.

And it finishes 0-0.

Not our night. Still everything to play for Hope for 0-0 in the return leg so we can see what Milan will look in extra time...

Milan show their vast European experience once again & come away unscathed in the 1st leg. Down to San Siro now

MOTM: Fab.

Walcott should of had more time, he looked good when he came on.

How did Ade miss at the end.

The pensioners stifle the children. Just seen the Adebayor miss

Not a bad result but disappointed we didn't take some of our chances. Milan were 2nd best on the night but they'll definitely play better in the San siro. Hoping for a cracker

they were very lucky not to concede.

Its getting to be a psycological thing now - very worrying.

Surely, by the law of averages, if you have such a number of shots, some of them will eventually go in the corners. Cuz this just didnt happen.

Well...Arsenal didnt created that much chances...seeming the ball position they had!!

Hleb Motm..by a mile

Maldini was very good.

Arsenal were roughing up Pirlo in the 1st half - always a leg going into his calf from Hleb or Fabregash just after he released each pass.

Fabregash's shooting was straight from the Frank Lampard school - medium pace straight down the middle and hope for a bit of luck.

Arsenal should have got a 1-0 out of this - Eboue and Adebayor missed great chances.

Pass of the match from Pirlo to Kaka but his lob drifted harmlessly across the face of the goal.

Tough one to call - Arsenal have pace to hit on the counter and did'nt concede an away goal but Man U fancied themselves last year and you usually need to win at home if 2nd leg is at San Siro.

That was just $h!t it had nothing to do with luck.

Milan will probably rest half the first team before the next CL game.

Arsenal can't do this because they are fighting for the league.

Literally.

It wasn't vast European experience that made Ade miss the easy chance at the end!

Well Milan are fighting for 4th place, they can't afford to lose touch.

well he has scored more difficult headers, so it's not lack of ability. It was just one of those days when things aren't going your way, u miss chances u normally put away.

nah, but it was Adebayor's inexperience.
