He's still a better player than Almunia. Almunia has given up a lot of goals as well. The major difference between the two is Jen's goals have been mistakes whereas Almunia's goals have often been down to bad goalkeeping. Anyone that truly knows football knows there's a difference.

Yeah he did cost us 2 points agains blackburn but what keeper doesn't make mistakes. Even the great Cech has recently had a mishap. What I am saying is that even top keepers make a number of high profile errors during the course of the season. Sometimes these errors are costly, like in lehmans case, other times either the keeper recovers quickly enough or the defence bails him out. The unfortunate thing for lehman is that both of his errors have resulted in goals against arsenal and they have happened in 2 consecutive games hence the extra attention by media and fans alike. I hope that wenger will not give in to the hype and drop lehman but rather stick with him and consequently provide him with confidence and self belief to come out of this. Hopefully that will result in Lehman performing to his brilliant best. Although I agree that Lehman’s skills are fading, I still believe that he is one of the top 10 keepers in the world.

He came straight into the team to replace the legendary Seaman and ended up going unbeaten for the season. Instant adaptation to the premier league. Fabiansky may be fantastic, he certainly talks a great game. But what if he turns out like Alex Manninger or Richard Wright or Stuart Taylor? And Almunia - a great shot stopper would have stopped those two goals in the champions league final. Jens has made a couple of mistakes. All keepers make mistakes and they cost points. If Arsene Wenger can convince Buffon to leave Juventus or Cech to leave Chelsea, then Jens can go. Otherwise, for the next season or two he remains the best option.

What do I mean by effective?... I dont think Almunia or Fabiansky would come out to catch crosses, Almunia for example loves to punch these type of crosses which does not stop the attack, Lehmann would catch them and stop the attack. I am not sure what Fabiansky would be like in this situation though but I would be worried with his decision making as he is a youngster and goalkeepers dont reach their peaks until they are in their late 20's, his decision making was not good when playing against Inter-Milan (i think) when he came out to catch the ball and went outside the box to get booked for handling outside the area. My solution? play Lehmann against the big 3 and against long ball/aggressive teams and play Almunia against the likes of Spurs/Newcastle and use Fabiansky for the last 20 minutes against bottom side teams while playing at home. I think this would keep all the keepers happy given them all more first team chances. Hey guys,
