Although we are out, tonight was without a doubt one of the great nights for Arsenal and was a great comeback, we were very close, but at the end it was a mountain to tall to climb. I feel that even if we got that 4th goal by RVP we would have probably conceded in extra time, you could see in the second half especially in the last 20 minutes that our players were exhausted, and add that to the fact we lost 2 midfielders, I think it would have been very tough for us with another 30 minutes to play in extra time. But none the less, we should carry on from here and build on, we have had 3 excellent results against Spurs, Pool, and now Milan. We have another big game in less than a week against Newcastle and it's very important to continue the good momentum and end the season as strong as possible to carry it into the next season. Hopefully the players can keep it going and not go on another disastrous blip. On another point, I think it's clear now that Rosicky should be ahead of Ramsey, and should have been ahead of Ramsey all season, it was obvious that Rosicky was playing very good this season, and who knows how different (for the better) things could have been if Rosicky was playing as our creative man instead of (useless new denilson) Ramsey.
Missed that bit. Ramsey was given too much responsibility at the start. He was not going to fill the creative gap left by Cesc but still he has had his moments. Its good that he was taken out of the firing line and hopefully he will be back. He is the future alongside the likes of AOC,Wilshere and Chensey.
It's not even about hindsight, whenever Rosicky was playing he was looking better than Ramsey and most Arsenal fans were saying it out loud that Rosicky should be starting ahead of Ramsey wayyyyy before these games came up. Ramsey has been poor for us this season, I don't think that can be denied, and he should have never been starting ahead of Rosicky, sadly Ramsey replaced Denilson as the useless man in the middle.
Denilson could only dream of playing like Ramsey did against Chelsea this season. You saw the talent on show there. Ramsey needs time to develop and he will come good. Maybe bring him off the bench. Changed the game against Villa in the Cup. Hopefully he is back for the Newcastle game because at the moment our midfield options is very limited.
Arteta will be back for that game, so would go with the midfield trio of Song, Arteta, and Rosicky. Benayoun will be back too. Hopefully Walcott's injury isn't too bad.
