Aghhh, Theo so frustrating right now. Has his guy beat but continually comes in on his left foot across the face of the box into more and more defenders.

73 min Gah! Not for the first time in the last 10 minutes, Arsenal revert to making goalscoring look complicated. Walcott's just run straight in to a pack of defenders, when the obvious route was around the outside of Mesbah.

As good as Rosicky was the first half his play has dropped off big time this half. His passes just aren't on target, and he has made some questionable decisions forcing the ball through defenders. He seriously needs to be more greedy and look to shoot the ball when he's close to the box.

Arsenal extremely lucky right there. Milan get a wide open shot inside the 6 which was shot right at Keepers legs.

I have no clue where the goal is going to come from. Arsenal are still picking up the ball from Milan give aways in the middle of the pitch with space. They just need to make that clean final pass.

This ref has no control of the game.

Vermaelen with a horrible give away, and then Ibra goes down to draw the free kick from a very dangerous area.

Not at all. Plenty of people going down with injuries and time wasting though.

Referee blows an easy call for a corner kick for Milan, but Im not complaining

Not smart play from Arsenal, running away from Gervinho hoping he'd take on a defender or two by himself then send in a good cross. Final 5 minutes we need some magic.

3 minutes to find the goal. Good effort from our boys, backs completely against the wall and they came out fighting. Great sign for the rest of the EPL, Arsenal look to be playing well, and extremely well at home. Just a disappointing second half, they have come so close only to play so sloppy this half.

Song with no one around him and 5 players open and he toe pokes the ball forward straight to a Milan player. This half in a nut shell, just killed ourselves with such poor play. Needed to go through Theo more, Theo needed to do better when he got the ball. Shame Ox didn't get to play out wide, and a shame he got hurt before full time.

Wenger complaining yet again to the 4th official, he has no one to blame but himself and his players for that first leg and for this second half where they couldn't finish their chances.

Well, I'm really proud of this team. We played our hearts out. If only we played marginally better in Milan. Let's hope our injuries are so bad from this game, and we can take this energy into the league.

True about the injures, neither looked all that bad but since they are Hamstrings who knows with Arsenal.I hope Ox and Theo are able to go next Monday.

It would have been great to get one or two more, but I am still proud to be Gooner today. I like how we are playing and we get the big boys at home.
