I agree, Arsenal had determination and they successed.
But I think we had determination, too.
The key was Arsenal has Theo Walcott, a player can provide another top class value. Match changed when he came in.
Seedorf could provide top class value in short time >>> we won Chievo.
However, when we start with as many player with quality as possible and the subs were almost normal to trash, how could we expect?
If we replace Pato with Mancini, we'll be stronger or lost half of attacking power?
How could we win Lazio when we have no resevered trump card, and relied only on Antonini, Abate, Flamini, Silva's determination. Silva has the quality, but running from CB position to approach goal and score is still too hard for him.
Determination is not enough without talent.
