Match Reaction v AC Milan

[Syn]

Luckily Chamakh will be back for the 2nd leg.

His fifth goal will bring the house down.

This probably wouldn't have occurred to you but I suggest you get a bit drunk before the game. Might make it bearable.


Might join you

I am looking forward to the michelin start fish and chips though.

[LDG]

Consider it done

I will ask this brother for advice

Chips

They went for the away goals thats the problem, we settled and got punished. Wenger was not silly to think this lot would go there and win, he assumed we may have got a draw. Thats how we played.

No, we didn't play assuming we'd get a draw.

We played like Jeremy Beadle on a mandolin.

Exactly, Arteta was shown up completely tonight. Being a midfielder is more than simply making 5 yard passes and keeping things simple. He made things very easy for Milan. If he's not going to be creative, then he should be closing down, intercepting and when winning the ball, he should pass the ball much more quickly, to increase the tempo of our game. Everything he does is so pedestrian.

I feel sorry for him, to be honest. A 29 year old Everton player. I mean, you can get by in the league alright, but in the CL proper? It was never likely to end well. He was even in the SPL for fuck's sake.

It is underinvestment which has hurt us here. Don't just mean replacing Fabregas like-for-like. We really needed better players than Walcott, Gerv and Arshavin.

Sorry chaps but what really did you expect. we as a club have been in decline for years and the team is barely treading water. We have a manager who thinks he is s physics professor in lab. We only know one trick and we try it again and again and again ad nauseum. Something has to give.

[IBK]

Tonight merely showed what we have known for a long time. The champions league might be bloated, but eventually it will find a team out for what it is. We are in decline - and things will get worse before they get better, I fear.

Wenger: "It wouldn't be fair for me to blame the pitch, even if it was disastrous. Our performance was the same level as the pitch"

I knew he'd throw something in there about the pitch...but at least he was honest that we were utter shit. Right up there with the 8-2 at Old Trafford.

Players just aren't good enough and that's what happens when you go bargain shopping....
