MotM - PL: Manchester United vs Arsenal | 17/09/06

[Trick]

Lehman without a doubt

 

[caryn]

Its got be between rosicky ade jens or gilberto for me.

dont know how people even considering fabregas

simply, no fabregas -- no goal. he did make some mistakes, but he made up for all that with the wonderful work resulting in the goal. of course, the rest of the team was brilliant. however, i felt that ljungberg and adebayor weren't too good. a few of those chances ade had, im sure would have resulted in goals if henry took over. but still, arsenal won! great match

lehmann had that MAD save. great stuff man! and rosicky-hleb-cesc were worked well together. djourou was wonderful too! ahhh, everyone was great lah. arsenal played, and deserved to win.

cesc won the motm anyway!

 

[Brick]

Maybe we should vote for a team of the match instead ?
Arsenal gets my vote!

 

[Ratinho]

dont know how people even considering fabregas

eh?

 

[Jkreffer]

Jens Lehmann for me. Two absolutely unbelievable saves and great authority when coming to claim the ball. Everybody played out of their skins though I thought.

 

[NIPOLOPO]

Its got be between rosicky ade jens or gilberto for me.

dont know how people even considering fabregas

Yeah, people are stupid, the media as whole are stupid and to top that, the people who officially named him Barclys MOTM are stupid, or you could also say, It's other way around, those people who didn't even consider Fab as MOTM are blind ....? eh?

stop acting high and almighty

 

[entropy13]

Cesc. If not for him, we may not have made that many chances, or we won't win...

Of course, the whole team needs full credit for the win! They all really played well.

P.s did anyone else notice Baptista's style of running? Is it just his muscle bulk, but he seemed almost to lumber, like a man carrying too much weight. I think it was hard for him to pick up the pace of the game quickly, but he almost whipped in that vicious curler from the edge of the box.

He seemed pretty damn fast for an uber-heavyweight. Can you imagine the momentum at which he'd bulldoze someone over at full throttle? I also noticed that he does that rapid skip-check thing when he's standing still just before he takes off.

yea baptista looked kind of strange when he ran yesterday, as if he was trying to drag 100 timber chained on his back...

but did anyone notice that whenever the ball is on his feet, no manures were brave enough to challenge him...

it's the BEAST inside of him i tell ya!

 

[kingcarmelo]

it has to be kolo he is inspirational.Even when he has done his hip he gets up and still makes a challenge.

how much do you think he is valued at now?

 

[Rohit]

Adebayor without a shadow of a doubt.

To play the role of a single forward is not easy and the striker is at times bound to look inconsistent because he is hounded by 2-3 defenders everytime he receives the ball high up the pitch,holding the ball till support comes,so he is bound to loose possession a couple of times.
Adebayor did the job quite exquisitely,he hold up play was superb considering also that it was against United a very aggresive team.His runs were superb,both for the penalty and the goal and i don't know how he lasted 88 minutes after running the amount he did.

Good job Ade.

 

[kazu]

man of the match: lehmann.

player to watch: rosicky!!!

rosicky was superb with the ball and his tackles were fantastic!

cesc at times took too long on the ball, glad his efforts paid off with the assist though!

ade worked hard and got the winning goal but sometimes lacked composure.

captain gilberto was unlucky with the slip and distribution again needs improvement but overall a good performance!

we can't complain really!

 

[been]

king kolo how much is his value?

wel lets say i had to sell him and teams were intrested id put a 30m pound price tag on his head.......go check some others defenders prices over the years

plus toure is a complete defender who can shoot and do everything and jsut tunred 25 and one of the best attitudes

 

[Jameel46]

fabregas was officially the MoTM, but my man of the match was Rosicky

 

[zievad]

The entire team. Enough said. Mad jens was awesome and entertaining as usual. The back four were fantastic, Eboue made a few mistakes but I think Galls has slotted in fantastically. Kolo is God and Djourou looks very composed and reads the game well. Has learnt a lot from KK. Our midfield ran the show, Cesc (not his best but still fantastic), Rosicky excites me, he is an awesome ball carrier and is going to be sensational for us this season, bert was his steady old self, freddie was ok but it's starting to fade ad adebayor worked like a reacehorse. I was very impressed with him. MOTM, it's got to be Arsène. We believe Arsène, we believe.

 

[Rodelero]

every week we go on how cesc should be rested , he's tired he's wilting he's losing it. HOLY S***.
now we know why Arsène wont rest him. the kid is larger than life i tell you. he's huge.
along with messi the best proven young guns this side of the milky way.
oh and yeah who the f*** is phooney anyways?

I've never thought Rooney was very good.

I must admit; i'm not exactly a genius at football; i don't know it all etc.

But when i look at how hyped he is; i think his achievement is pretty bad.

Phooney is a great name for him

 

[Clrnc]

cesc is my motm yesterday. great display, willing to track back, win balls in the middle of the park. controlled our midfield with authority. most importantly he keeps the ball very well and delievers good service up front. well done 18yr old lad!

 

[cesc18]

lehmann was motm for me
for "that" save of OGS
and tacking a whack to save a shot from ronaldo
and also for holding john o shea by his shirt

thought kolo rosicky ade had very good games as well

 

[asajoseph]

The disagreement in this thread is a testimony to how many great performances there were yesterday - for once, it's great to see!

Jens gets MOTM for me, but it's a close run thing between lots of different players. He didn't put a foot wrong, made some brilliant catches, and his save from Solksjaer was as good as you'll ever see.

 

[psycho_chihuahua]

1. Fabregas
2. Rosicky
3. Lehamann
4. Hleb / Ade

 

[DBmagik10]

performance of the match was by flamini. poor kid! his team had just scored a goal against manure at OT and he wanted to celebrate but the manager put him onto the pitch - in place of the goal scorer. tough job for a make shift left back dont you think?
