MotM - CL: Arsenal vs Hamburger SV | 21/11/06

[Jkreffer]

Arsenal v Hamburg
van Persie
Eboue
Baptista

A bloody important win by all accounts. Really happy for all three goalscorers and thought the decision to revert back to 4-4-2 in the second half worked wonders.

Van Persie had a really effective game I thought and well deserved his goal. The same goes for Eboue who had another cracking little game. My MOTM though would have to go to Hleb. Every other ball seems to go through him and he looked really lively and dangerous. Was unlucky not to have got himself a goal of which I feel would have been deeply warrented.

1. Hleb

1. Walcott (Assists created the 2 goals)
2. Hleb (did well for the most part)
3. Toure (Excellent defending)

 

[mad jens]

Toure or Hleb

Walcott, no doubt about it in my mind.

We were looking flat and lacking the cutting edge until he came on and bam, the offense was right on track. He set up Eboue and then hit a majestic cross for Baptista's thumping header.

He was all over the pitch, wrecking havoc on the Hamburg defense and doing something constructive with every touch he had.

Close second to Hleb, sensational again but I'm not surprised in the least...dude is such a quality player.

 

[JML]

Walcott.

 

[bojed]

toure.

walcott is close though and phil deserves a good mentioning too. not forgetting hleb who's a real gem in our midfield area.

 

[qs]

Walcott , then Toure

 

[Gryphon]

hleb, unbelivable player many people thought that we got a raw deal off him.
Walcott wins super sub award for me, very effective off the bench

 

[Army of Me]

1. RvP
2. Hleb
3. Walcott

 

[GunneDown]

Toure or Hleb

Walcott

 

[clockwork orange]

Hleb

 

[Sammer]

Hleb for me.

Toure was great too, but considering Hamburg being mediocre in attack, Hleb gets my vote.

Other than that special mention to Fab for his sublime pass to RvP and of course Theo for providing class.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Walcott changed the game, so it's him for me.

But I thought Hleb was brilliant last night,m the goal would have been nothing less than he deserved.

Well i agree with that...

Theo was fanstatic when he went wide right, and Hleb's passing and movement was great

:shock:

in first place, we have Hleb, slightly off the pace of our faster game, but none the less instrumental, everything positive went through him at one stage.
in second place, we have Toure, you could see just how assured he felt in having Phil back next to him. he was everywhere and such a monster in it too.
in third place, it's the boy that came on to quiet critics, Walcott, finally showing for a sustained period of time what we knew he could do, totally changed the game.

 

[Clrnc]

walcott. no dispute

 

[nidza7]

Hleb is becoming arsenal backbone ,if not already.

 

[IBL]

1. Toure
2. Walcott
3. Hleb

Toure for his fight and drive, literally bulldozing his way forward to make things happen. Walcott for his two assists and injection of urgency. Hleb for always looking threatening and making our best chances early on
