3-1 Performance, 1-1 Result

Arsenal just about did enough to take a two-goal lead into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool. In the American version of the expression, "just about did enough" means "didn't quite do enough," and the score ended 1-1.

But, if; and they're huge, useless, hypothetical ifs; but if the penalty where Kuyt took down Hleb had been called, and Arsenal had converted, and if Bendtner hadn't cleared a would-be Arsenal goal off the line, then my 3-1 prediction might have come good.

2 deflections:

Arsenal are in trouble. Liverpool got what they wanted: an away goal and they can play the same way at home because they don't need to score at Anfield.

Arsenal will need to figure out a away to unlock the 11-men defense by next Tuesday to have a chance to advance in the CL.
