    Yup :)

    Was amazed to see Maldini striding down the wing to the byline on a couple of occasions tho.

    Well played Arsenal. Flamini, Cesc, Hleb, Adebayor were immense - some insanely good passing all game!!

    nice straight to the 5-5 Sevilla/Fenerbache extra time... good stuff setanta now i dont have to find the remote


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,398 ✭✭✭MIN2511


    That was a good late goal from Adebayor


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Maresca best player in the world is on :)

    Hleb my MOTM in the arsenal game ran for 90 minutes into clever areas and held up the ball and brought cesc into attacks very well.

    Come on Sevilla, don't f*ck it up please :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Well done to l'Arse, they spurned so many chances I thoughts they'd end up paying with a sucker punch. Milan were hopelessly slow and dull-witted once thier initial attack faded.

    As for Utd, well boo. Thats all.

    Mike.

    Celtic did well enough. Hartley and Naka must have misplaced 3 out of about 60 passes combined. Much, much better performance than the first leg. Obviously terrible off the ball though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    jaysus, really shows that the italian league in now way way behind the premiership...its a league in serious decline.


    in the last 3 years,

    united hammer roma.
    liverpool beat juve.
    arsenal knock out juve.
    arsenal knock out milan.

    liverpool comfortable over inter.

    Excellent performance by Arsenal. If Diaby is dropped then all the better. He was terrible tonight I thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Arsenal looked amazing. That result is really going to fire them up for glory this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,077 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    So what was Xavi's goal like?

    Now it's an Everest-sized task for Gordon Strachan's boys. Ronaldinho plays one of those passes where he puts the ball one way while looking the other, Silvinho provides the cross and it's not clear who gets the final touch but Xavi gets the nod for now.

    Thats one of "those" passes leading to a goal in each leg for Ronaldinho.

    Past it? Never.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Great to see Arsenal go through, well deserved.

    United go through, were a class ahead of Lyon but played a **** negative formation (again)
    Ronaldo played great in the first half IMO, poor in the second half, but then again, so did Uniteds attack. Negative tactics again from Fergie is gona cost us I think :/

    great passing move and a good flick on the near post, but should have been saved. a soft hand by the keeper was the description of the commentary team..

    Dunno about that. He linked up pretty well with Adebayor and Hleb, despite 1 or 2 dodgy passes on occasion. I thought Eboue was much worse..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭Roddy23


    I thought that was one of Diaby's bettergames too, excellent passing, and some strength on the ball. Eboue an absolute waster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    First half extra time finished in Sevilla game


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Think Diaby plays on the left to "compete" with other midfielders allowing Flamini and Cesc to go forward, though he "competed" with milans 3 fairly well, passing was poor when trying to play an attacking pass but when doing the crab he done well.

    why do fenerbache have 3 stars on their jersey?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Milan were beaten in the midfield. Arsenal were the first to every ball, tackle and header. You have to question whether Pirlo and Gattuso still have to desire to continue winning trophies.
