i would say gilberto. henry will win many of these this season. for a marked improvement and proving me wrong i think gilberto deserves my vote. hope his performances continue to improve because that coould prove key to our success

Gilberto definitely had a better match. But he has to play like this regularly if he wants to keep his place IMO. If he stops giving the ball away so often (crossfieild ball straight to Chartlon player, standing on the ball which almost lead to an equalising goal for Liverpool etc.) and helps more in an attacking sense then there's no doubt he'll be a great central midfielder. Consistency is the key.

Henry was the best in this match. I thought that Cole, Bergkamp, Gilberto and Ljungberg were the others who did really well. Our central defenders didn't have anything to do but I though Lehmann had a good match.

One other guy I should have mentioned was Sol. He and Smith had a battle going on out there, and Sol won it hands down.
