We did likewise earlier in the season, where we beat the likes of Dortmund and Marseille, by defending strong and straying off from the offensive. The first leg in Milan really was a disaster, though. I really don't know what happened there.
You need to be able to score from set-pieces and have defensive players in midfield to do it the Chelsea way. We lack both and I don't think the current team with RVP upfront has the counter-attacking potential of our 2006 team(rarely win away nowadays in Europe). If we're going to play on the break(at times) maybe Podolski upfront could be great for us.
Overall 1 final and a couple of semis is really poor from Wenger. It was there for the taking this year since both Manchester teams were eliminated and we should have gone for it more by investing in January.
