Almunia for me, he did what he could, can't blame him on "that" goal. Gilbert was great, but not so great to be motm.

 

[Lukazan]

Gilbert for me.

Steady and mature game. Brilliant run for the first goal too.

Almunia also deserves a mention. He is looking like a good keeper lately.

 

[nazo]

Gilbert for me too.

Almunia was really good today too.

 

[IBL]

Gilbert. What a string of impressive performances he's put in improving each time.

 

[OneProudGooner]

Gilberto was much improved... with Diaby alongside him mostly Gilbert was good but faded away a bit but that is no problem considering his age, Almunia was solid when called upon but wasn't really called into action much.

 

[f4evo]

i know it should be gilbert but i voted van persie just for that goal, and also the fact that he was outstanding while on the pitch

 

[adjie]

Between Gilbert and RvP.
But I choose Gilbert, he has more influence in this match result.

 

[The_Prince007]

I chose flamini...Though he didn't play the whole match, he was the only player who looked like he wanted to go the final along with gilbert!! :roll:

 

[bojed]

gilbert, for setting up the first goal and for defending well.

 

[Zico]

I have to agree with The Prince that Flamini was the man. I'm one to usually claim that he isn't Arsenal material but we looked more assured with the lil fella on.

Not Man of the Match: Gilberto, Senderos, and especially Hleb. This guy's having a laugh at our expense

 

[chandraraj]

none. gilbert and rvp were very good though.

 

[Sammer]

Gilbert.

 

[AV Gooner]

i feel it has to go to gilbert played extremely well and look assured and confident when going forward and defending. but a metion should go to flamini, van persie & almunia

yup those three worth mentioning too...

how funny it is when it's the youngsters who showed more aggression in their games. maybe they have this "i don't care if it's a stupid cup, i just want to win it" mentality. you know when you're young, full of passion and enthusiasm.

Arsène even said that cesc's temperament is good for him. he's more worried for players without temperament.

 

[patrick42uk]

gilbert? what the ****? he done alright in setting up the goal but MOM? i dont think he even played better than gilberto (who played well).

MOM for me was reyes. he cant play 90 minutes so he faded after about 70 but prior to that i have to say i was very impressed. at times he showed pires like intelligence with his little give and gos and showed good vision. he really enjoyed the freedom to roam from the left wing. maybe it was the dive but get over it ffs. everyone does it, even english players.

second is close between henry and van persie.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Gilbert for me, too. Great first touch, great cross for Henry (seems to be a feature of his game) and defended well.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Except I voted for Reyes by mistake.... Arrrghh!

 

[Tegh]

Gilbert for me.
At such a young age he's recently put in performances of a veteran. He gets stuck in, passes the ball well, and gets forward whenever possible. He has a bright future ahead of him.

 

[Gurgen]

Reyes missed a pen so can't be him.

I'm voting for Gilbert. The others should be shot.
