Lehmann is past it and is in the dying embers of his career. I'd rather have a keeper there who will be with us for the foreseeable future. Almunia was not as at fault as some people are suggesting against spurs. He had little option against Berbatov, because he had been left exposed in a one on one situation and had to do someting drastic even just to put Berbatov off. and the wall was more at fault for the goal than Almunia. Almunia is also more reliable from corners instead of constantly moaning about someone standing on his feet. Until Almunia misses a really easy save that gives a goal away then he should keep his spot in the team. after this season, Fabianski might be our number 1, I have heard great things about him.

For me Lehmann is like David Seaman. There's no about he has been great for us but to keep him on would be a big mistake. And even though I like Lehmann his comments are quite strange most of the time. I would prefer a competitive rivalry rather than a damaging one that Lehmann seems to favour, but basically slagging off Almunia all the time. And against the shite Almunia did the only thing he could do. If he sat back Berbatov would have just rolled the ball either side of him into the corner but he came out and made Berbatov have to make a decision and he paniced.

Perhaps he has in fabianski, but the need was NOW not the future. It's the weakest point of the team and one of the most critical. A top stopper would add 10 points at least to last season's total. Definitely not Lehmann though - he made mistakes against Fulham and Bolton at the end of last season too - it's nothing new and his age means he has lost all his agility.

He did rush to Berbatov, but in my mind had no option with the whole of the centre of defence missing. He put off Bebatov enough for Kolo to ge tback and make a great tackle, looked bad but i t sure did the job, The defence also seem to know if he is coming or staying, lehman doesnt know himself let alone the defence. Give a dozen or so games as the number then we will all see he is up to it\ Almunia for me, all the way.

I am really looking forward to another good Carling cup run with him between the sticks this time.
