MotM - PL: Wigan Athletic vs Arsenal | 19/11/05

[thierrys_girl]

Wigan 2 – Arsenal 3

Goals: Robin and Thierry x2

Wigan came back twice in the first half to shorten our lead, once at 2-0 and then at 3-1. The game ended 3- 2 to the Arsenal, which meant that we had secured our first away win in the league for the season. It was a tough match but we knew that going in due to Wigan’s position on the table. We move up to 4th, 11 behind the leaders.

My MOTM: The skipper was brilliant today and also secured the points with two brilliant goals. Special mentions to Cesc and Robin.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

who else but Henry

 

[nidza7]

Hm,Henry anyone?

 

[kamikaze80]

rvp was great but this one is a no-brainer. henry clinical as ever - two chances, two goals.

 

[IBL]

Gonna be a little different today and vote Cesc. Probably his best performance of the season so far, composed and fiesty in the middle of the park, great assist for Henry.

Oh and a special mention to that promising player Henry who only scored two goals, one of those an awesome free kick.

 

[Mark]

I'm also going to be different and give it to Cesc. Very good display in the middle of the park despite whichever c*nt it was who barged into him earlier on. Didn't let it unsettle him and he really did put in one of his best performances of the season. Excellent passing and generally solid.

Henry and van Persie were both great. Very dangerous strikeforce there. I hope Wenger continues to use it and isn't tempted to play Bergkamp there again.

Henry, altho Cesc and RVP done well.

 

[Chicago]

Henry, altho Cesc and RVP done well.

without a doubt, he got the two goals adn also set up others too, his feeding RVP, his clever backhell through De Zeeuw's legs to Cesc, he was absolutely ravenous today

 

[invisibleman18]

cesc easily for me. was tremendous today, probably one of his best games for us. was commanding and every pass was inch perfect. top game from him.

 

[Wenger14]

Has to be Henry. Was tempted to give it Cesc, but you just can't not give it to the skipper. RVP deserves a mention as well.

 

[Gurgen]

Henry.

 

[invisibleman18]

yeah, TG why didnt you take the piss and include Cygan in the poll?

As said in another thread with a bit of elaboration;

The game was played by 14 men and only three of them played for us on the day, it just so happens that those three were the ones that one the game. It's incredibly hard to pick between them; van Persie, Cesc and Henry. But the nature of the beast is that you have to pick. their was flair, class and drive, all on show from all three. Clinical passes, clinical finishing, infact if i hadn't no better i'd think the three were straight from surgery. all in all though, one person just edged it, it has to go Cesc, his tackling game was the best we've seen in the midfield all season and he provided the axis for the forward movement, Great players all of them, but the greatest on the day...just...Francesc Fabregas.

 

[Unbeaten]

Cesc had a great match, but Henry won us the match, so my votes goes to him.

 

[Pepe LeFrits]

Henry > Fabregas > Van Persie

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Glad to see Cesc being appreciated after this game. I thought he was brilliant, in fact i said to my mate about five minutes before Andy Gray mentioned it, so he must have been good.

Plaudits to van Persie and Henry (and how lethal do these two look together?) for their goals, but it's got to be Cesc, he made us play yesterday.

 

[mrsvanpersie]

1. Henry, 2. Van Persie, 3. Fabregas

 

[Killer7]

Yep, Cesc for me.
