MotM - CL: Hamburg vs Arsenal | 13/09/06

[Jkreffer]

Hamburg 1 : Arsenal 2

Goalscorers: Gilberto 12 (pen)
Rosicky 53

Quite a tough one to call as I thought everybody had a good game today. Fabregas looked alot more effective and kept things ticking over, whilst Rosicky looked useful scoring a great goal.

However, my vote goes to Gilberto, who took great responsibility with a good penalty and dictated the play from the back. Even threw in a few cheeky skills I didn't even realise he had.

 

[James]

Gilberto.

Controlled most of our play, and threw in a few samba skills for the hell of it.

 

[Blacks Are Red]

Rosicky for me.

 

[Seabass]

My vote goes to Rosicky. He had some good runs, good distribution, and when we needed a second goal, he provided a stunner.

That being said though, I think Gilberto and Cesc both had solid games, and I couldn't argue against either of them being selected as man of the match.

Cesc. getting better all the time does everything with ease

 

[clockwork orange]

Rosicky.

 

[KingReyes]

Gilberto for me. If only he could play like that more often.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Gilberto just about edges it for me.

 

[Jkreffer]

Gilberto has been pretty good all season so far. Hopefully he can have a similar impact agaisnt United on the weekend.

 

[dublingunner]

Yeah Rosicky for me too. He won us the game with that beauty and played outstandingly in every other respect. If Fabregas is tired or whatever it'd be interesting to see him in the middle of the park on Sunday.

 

[Viper]

Its a tough one out of Rosicky and Gilberto, but I'd have to say Rosicky. He was simply excellent particulary on the ball. When he has the ball, you can expect him to pull of something special. He is such a great player to watch.

I think motm has to be gilberto. He controled the midfield. He was our 3rd centre back when needed and he also helped out in attack.

I find it funny that how the 3 games he has been captian we have one but the 3 with thierry we haven't

 

[AV Gooner]

gilberto he was just immence

 

[gunnerGH]

Gilberto was amazing tonight and fully deserves mom award. Well done skipper

 

[Clrnc]

rosicky for me. scored a great goal and linked all our attack together. gilberto come close too.

 

[IBL]

Between Gilberto and Rosicky for me, Gilberto gets the nod though for an outstanding captains performance in the middle. Always communicating, getting stuck in, dispatched a nice penalty...just solid all round.

 

[Ramy]

Rosicky.
On the Basis that it was his champions league debut, he pprovided a stunner and looked dangerous on every attack.

CL Debut at Arsenal.. he has played in quite a few in his career.. looked like he was used to playing in them... (which is what we need)

Gilberto was incredible tonight and that was a great penalty too! Controlled the game and basically playing like he was two-men. I think we played with 12 players out there tonight lol. cesc was also great, and its good news to hear hes singed a eight-year contract. He obviously knows whats its about! Rosicky of course he looks a great little player, i think wenger has done it yet again - superb goal!

Shout to adebayor as well who has his critics (me also being gulity of critizing him) but he played well tonight and I thought he deserved some credit too. He looked bloody nervous when they was lining up before the game, but he played good tonight.

I really want to see more to the RVP/Ade partnership for the mean time while henry isnt 100% all there.


MOTM: Gilberto
