However, a few days later we found out Lehmann had been dropped for our next game against Man City, Almunia got the start and we ran out 1-0 winners. That was the [...]

Whether that’s a blessing in disguise, something made up by Wenger or an actual injury we wont know but it does seem awfully convenient. Le Boss has confirmed that Almunia will start with a tribute to our no.2. I know Manuel can do the job and I have seen him perform many times. However the biggest positive I’m taking from this is that when Almunia came into he first team ahead of Jens before, it made Lehmann a lot better so maybe something similar will happen again, or maybe this time Manuel will really prove himself with a decent run of games and become our new preferred goalie.

Wilson Palacios is not joining us he’s on his way to birmingham. Steve Bruce has confirmed wenger has called him and said we already have enough midfielders and has asked bruce to take a look at him, and now he’s pondering a loan move for the Honduran. Obviously wenger has seen him play and doesnt feel he’s gonna add anything to what we already have.

fabianski is untried and would be a big risk putting him in, i’ve been waiting for almunia to get his chance i think he’s world class and if he gets a run i dont see lehmann coming back to be honest. You cant expect almunia to come in 1 game in 20 and put on a top draw performance it doesnt happen, so there’s no blame for him on the champs league final for me, just like DeiseGooner said, like it or not, Lehmann is the true reason we didnt win the champions league.

Howard – if theres a keeper to blame for the champions league its Lehman for getting sent off surely. If he has stayed on then he may have saved at least one of those shots. Almunia played his socks off on that cup run and kept the young lads in games at times.

Almunia has improved – but has he improved enuff ? Now is his chance to prove he has. If he plays well i feel it may be the end of Lehman sooner that expected. He will be gone by the end of this season anyway, but maybe Almunia can take it from him now ?

He proved last season that he is more than up to the job. The thing people dont look at is that a goal keeper is the only position on the pitch where if you make a mistake then its almost certain to cost you a goal.

Howard above says that he hopes that he dosnt repeat the mistake he made in the Carling Cup final, but it was down to some great saves from Almunia during the competition that we made the final in the first place (not having a go at you Howard)

Let’s pray he doesn’t repeat his mistakes at the CL finals and the Carling Cup finals. He seems to fall short when needed to fall short when needed. Fabianski for me.

Fabianski?? Good Lord, let the man come to grips with English footie first…
