I thought i was a fine match and nowadays it is what we call an entertaining game in the Cl. it was ok but there was only one big chance in the game and that was the one Ade missed in the end. good pace at times but i dont think that is entertaning unless we also get some chances and we didnt. kaka/seedorf/pato did little but that was also because they were too defensive. that is the problem when you have both ambrosini and gattuso in midfield. milan should have tried more but they did well to control the tempo when it got a bit to high for them. Arsenal were better then milan but not good enough to deserve a win imo.

For sure eduardo from the left makes no sense whatsoever. He tried the same thing with RVP for a while, who also played shite in that role.

Still don't like Eboue as RM/right winger though. Clueless idiot

I may have forgotten but can't remember a really dangerous cross until Walcott came on after 89 mins.

Pato's pace is nothing for a PL team and nor are the (high) crosses from the FBs. Its good that Kaka has only 1 great pass (through ball), he can't cross or spead wide which means he must go through the middle. Flamini, Gallas and hopefully a fully fit Toure can handle his pace. Milan play a very high line at home. I hope they continue with this policy.

Well we all saw what Milan did to Utd last season. They have the ability to completely turn it on.

IMO we have a chance of getting a draw there but they're definately the favourites now.

0-0 is a tricky result.

Pussy

Milan beat Man Utd because of horrible defending and marking. Had their first choice defence have been fit the game would have been much closer.

Didn't you say yesterday that Madrid deserved to draw against Roma? Because they had more possession.

im dont think that is what i said. also you have to remember there is a difference between being away like madrid were and playing at home as arsenal did. also arsenal created one big chance in the game but that was a huge one though.

Plus they needed energy in midfield.

One chance bigger than anything Madrid created last night.

again Madrid were the away side and played like they were the home side. the reason i dont think roma deserved a win was because it was coward tactics imo and i dont say that to offend you but if teams dont want to attack at home then they are cowards. arsenal played at a good pace in the start of the season half but other then that milan kept the pace down and they didnt do much allthough more then roma did i will say.

exactly. I don't mind Clichy and Sagna not being good crossers (they should practise of course, they're damn good defenders), but at least the players ahead of them should be able to do it. Eboue also makes a lot of wrong decisions during our passing game.

But there's no Henry to own Zanetti (who won't be there either).

so what if they won in Madrid? completely different match, nothing like Milan.

When was the last time Milan lost a KO game whilist playing the 2nd leg at the San Siro?

Means nothing. When was the last time Arsenla failed to score in a two legged tie?

I do believe we haven't lost against an Italian team under Arsene Wenger.

I liked his performance today. He needs to cut out some of the early long balls though, we do score from them this season but still a lot of wasted possession when we don't.

But if you score, that doesnt mean you win.
