raphael_as said:You could just as easily turn that on it's head - did Gilberto really do anything more then you'd expect a world-cup winning DCM to do?Just out of interest, for those who voted for Lehmann;
did he really do anything more then you would expect of an international goalkeeper?
We're talking about a match where there were not many highlight performances for us, but I think most of us have acknowledged that Gilberto and Lehmann were the best of the bunch and that it was a toss-up between the two. So which one any individual decides was better is simply a matter of plonking your vote down on one or the other for whatever reason.....
Yes, he did. He not only swept and gave the easy ball, but he was everywhere, played some of our best passes from midfield and was a very strong, vocal captain.
Lehmann made saves that I would expect him to make and not much more. He didn't seem to be communicating with his backline as well as he has in recent months and his marshalling of the area wasn't as strong.
