Wow, tough game to watch that. Milan bossed midfield and the passing and movement of Robinho, Boateng, Nocerino and Ibrahimovic tormented the back four all night. Marking was some of the worst I've seen. Even RvP seemed to struggle to make an impact. Walcott and Ramsey both not on form too, it just wasn't Arsenal's night I suppose. I agree with everyone too, probably should have started Ox, the boy has pace like it's nobody's business and probably would have given Abate a harder time out wide. Djouru or whatever his name is has got to go I'm afraid. Looked erratic and unsettled since he came on and gave away a stupid penalty that effectively ended the tie. I never really understood why Wenger keeps fielding this player, I don't think I've ever seen him play a solid game. Based on the lineup and strategy, do you guys think Wenger was trying to play it safe, bag an away goal or two and take the tie back to London?

In saying that, I think what I witnessed in Milan proves a bad omen of Chelsea's tie next week, based on Chelsea's recent performances, and we might be in for a long, LONG night in Naples. Hamsik, Cavani, Lavezzi, Pandev, Lucarelli, all available, and sure to stretch our defense to the limit, a defense that has been questionable at times this season. This team can counter in the blink of an eye, and our midfield and defense might struggle to keep pace. Cech has been suspect at times, JT is not the rock he used to be, Cole caught out in possession frequently, Luiz looks confused half the time, Cahill still acclimating to the team, Bosingwa almost always out of position, who knows, I might be on here next week analyzing an even worse defeat, and it doesn't help our players don't have any confidence in the manager. If the players don't believe in the system, we don't have a chance. Not looking well for English clubs to advance to the quarter finals this season.

Hard to be place the blame all on Arsenal and Wenger though, they played against a rampaging, supremely confident Milan side; look every bit a team that can advance to the semi finals this season. Looks like for us, it'll be a battle for 4th place lol, difference between Tuesday night and Thursday night football. The way Chelsea have been performing the past few weeks, I don't think we deserve to represent England in the Champions League honestly. But good luck to the Arsenal boys at the return leg, I'm sure it will be a more entertaining game for the supporters playing at home.
