MOTM Thread 2013-2014

[Joker]

Last season not many people voted, so I think it's better to have this thread in Arsenal FC debate where the majority of posters are located after a match. Obviously counting will only start for real matches (including UCL qualifiers) and not for pre-season friendlies.

Basically, after every game you need to rate the 3 best players of that match. The scoring then goes as follows:

1st Place: 3 points
2nd Place: 2 points
3rd Place: 1 point.

So, if you voted for 1/ Walcott 2/ Koscielny 3/ AOC, then the points would be allocated as follows:

1. Walcott: 3 points
2. Koscielny: 2 points
3. AOC: 1 point.

Mods, could you possibly pin this thread now or when the season starts?

[GP]

Who finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd last season?

[Cripps_orig]

Unfortunately the WUMs will vote for their favourites regardless of how they play or there'll be stupid voting.

It was good first couple of seasons

Last season's results:

I'll ignore stupid voting this time, so only proper votes count.

[GP]

Carl Jenkinson: 93

Olivier Giroud: 87

Jack Wilshere: 75

Per Mertesacker: 74

Gervinho: 66

Theo Walcott: 57

Mikel Arteta: 55

Quite telling, that.

Giroud and Gervinho ahead of theo says it all how this has died.

Koscielny in 2nd after 10 good games?

Hope next seasons are more realistic.

[Joker]

Hopefully as it's now in Arsenal FC debate we'll got more people voting to get a more representative sample.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey (for the 90 minutes of effort and two excellent finishes)
Ozil (for the pure fun of watching him play)
Giroud (for mixing it with the trogs and more often than not coming out on top of the bundle)

Can we have negative votes that carry forward? -1million for Walcott, dire beyond the capacity of the English language to describe it.

[mkkreuk]

1. Giroud - pretty much did everything perfect in the first half, and linked up brilliantly with Wilshere and Ozil. Hopefully, his knee tweak is nothing serious as he was crucial in everything we did.
2. Ramsey - Quiet first half (but generally tidy, barring a few unnecessary flicks), but made up for it in the second half with two great finishes.
3. Ozil - so comfortable on the ball, and that was an amazing touch before the assist. But for Theo's finishing he would have had an insane debut, statwise. Faded a little, but that's understandable given he's still settling in.

Yep it was difficult. As well as we have played in some of our other games the top 3 players have tended to pick themselves. In this one 7 or 8 could have a good claim for it. :lol:

Leaving Cazorla out was particularly painful but Rosicky just edged it for me.
