Decent half. We didn't play great but I don't think we were poor either.

Buffon dealt with what came his way.
Grygera has been ok.
Mellberg has been fine.
Chiellini his usual uncompromising self.
Molinaro has been up and down. Some good, some bad.
Sissoko has struggled a bit.
Tiago has looked good to me. Neat passing, keeping possession.
Marchionni has added a little spark here and there.
Nedved started poorly but came more into the game as it went on.
Iaquinta has been bad.
Trezeguet, well, you know the story.

Tiago wasnt bad today...
That says nothing because even Sissoko was more involved in creating the attacks (he messes up half of the attacks, though).
Molinaro is again one of the best. He always finds a way to escape from the defenders and we're forced to play on the left side because we always have an uncovered player there. Such a shame this guy isn't more talented.
I wish Grygera could do the same but unfortunately he can't because he's much slower and he can't get back in defense on time.

Who is struggling?

We started slow, so did Arsenal. Slowly we started building up forward moves and then came the goal, even if it was offside. After we scored the goal we simply dominated the match.
Hey Jack, imagine what Badass Devil is doing at the stadium at the moment. :lol2:

No, we're winning so be it against a 2nd choice Arsenal.

i can not see the match but after reading some comments it looked like we played really bad and arsenal was much better

the reason why we are doing ok is because we are taking advantage of their inexperience, notice how were able to pressure them in to making mistakes in particular for trez's offside goal (the one which was ruled out)

Arsenal's kids had a much better start but for the second half of the first half we were the better team. Neddy and Molinaro(!) are doing well.

Come on man, they are Arsenal reserve maybe the oldest player is 20 years old there is a player carrying number 55

we are slow and cant create real chances, our goal was offside and god knows if Iaquinta planned to pass the ball to Trez or it was a shot towards the goal, Tiago is lost in the midfield while Nedved and Marchionni are in a bad form today
