You didn't believe me

Just watched a replay of the Arsenal-City game.

Fabianski did make some wonderful saves.

On the other hand, he did do this:



and this:



in the same game.

So what if Almunia has experienced more situations etc.
He cant really use that to his advantage tbh he still hesitates with crosses etc in my oppinion but has not been of much guilt this season, but then again nor has Fabianski.

If Fabianksi can prove consistant for a good number of games I think Wenger will make him our number 1 because at the start of the season he did say he was not sure who will be the first choice.

Who has more potential, Szczesny or Mannone? Haven't seen much of either.

Szczesny by miles.
Alot of people wanted him to be the number 1 at the start of the season because he is our tallest and best shot stopper apparently. Just lacks experience.

I've heard some good things about Szczesny.

Wonder when he'll get this chance.

Fabregas.

Yes.

He might be starting on wed for the carling cup match.

He is currently second choice keeper till Almunia is fit.

Mannone is as shit and mistake prone as Fabianski(was, he hasn't made any big mistakes in his current run) and Almunia. You just haven't seen enough of him.

Try watching the highlights of Italy U21's vs Belarus U21's. Mannone got raped.

Szczesny is only proven in League 1. Even for the Polish U-20 sides he hasn't been impressive. I prefer Kurto and Sandomierski to play.

As for Almunia, I am convinced that Fabianski has taken over as #1. And Almunia hasn't been impressive this season, he has had a few "ok" games in a series of crap games. Fabianski has proven alot more this season than Almunia has.

And as for Fabianski "completely changing", well no. He is just playing like he used to at Legia Warszawa. He was like today consistently before he moved to Arsenal. Hell, even Wenger consistently says Fabianski is great in training. If Fabianski continues on this form, than I am convinced he is back to old Fabianski. (and I mean before Arsenal old)

@TorresxVilla, Fabianski played sporadically before this season. Goalkeepers need to play consistently to gain form and do good, which is exactly what happened to Fabianski this season following his run. His sporadic appearances last season led to results like Porto. I don't think we will see much more Porto's from Fabianski in the near future. His lack of confidence could also be linked to his lack of consistent appearances.

Regarding Fabianski himself... His next step is consistency, he needs to play at this level from now on. He did so at Legia, so I think he'll be able to at Arsenal as well. What we really must see though, is how will Fabianski react to his next mistake? Will his form and confidence collapse, or will he react positively and play at a high level the next game?

tbh, Wenger doesn't really have any choice but to trust Almunia/Fabianski at the moment.

But again, he did look solid today. We'll see if he can keep it up.

According to the reserve game watchers, Shezny is supposed to be the next big thing.

We will have to wait and see.

Szczesny might not even be here next season, he wants football and he's clearly not getting it, and his contract runs out at the end of the season.
It's great that there is DNA in football now though.

Insua Vs Fabianski

I'd rather have SKD tbh

I still don't believe you, you crack head pole.

They'll probably stil try and get Schwarzer in the january window.

Apparently this is Fabianski's longest run of games in a row. Just goes to show how important a good run of games is.

Mannone's loan runs out in January.

I see it more likely we sell Almunia in January and keep it simple with Fabianski/Mannone/Szczesny, than us buying another keeper.

Had a great game tbh.

He has Barcelona DNA.

Like I have been saying all this time.

Now where is that coffee smiley when you need it?

You are right. I didn't believe you.



And I still don't believe you. Arsenal is going to win fuck all with their current crop of keepers.
