i am rather convinced that our season would be different if Lehmann has started in place of Almunia in our last few crucial matches in the EPL and CL.. he would has saved some of the sloppy goals we conceded..
i am confused why arsene keeps fielding Almunia instead of Lehmann, who is the Germany No.1/ No.2..
I don't think even Lehmann can save Gerrard's penalty , much less Ronaldo's last night . But he may be able to prevent Babel's last goal ... Look at Almunia's positioning when Babel is racing towards him ... Machiam open door for him to score sia
almunia get shocked when he see babel so fast so legs open up
lehmann always phycho the player taking the penalty like yesterday..haha
both times he jumped the correct side and he came close to saving it.. goalkeeper's career does not end when ur 38.. is ard 40 i guess

Cant save a penatly, doesn't mean he's not a good goal keeper. A good keeper must be very decisive & determination, good observation.
This are what Lehmann have, & what Almunia are lack off....
Two mistake what Arsene Wenger had made this season are.....play eboue as a right winger & drop Lehmann.

Diarra would have made a whole lot of difference had he stayed ... Blame AW for not playing him regularly , he could have done a rotation occasionally to give all his midfielders a chance to play , like what manure and liverpool often does
Same goes for Adebayor..i rather have Bendtner than him..
lehmann made some wonderful saves against rooney last night.

ya true.. its not just about the penalty saves.. but all the errors and mistakes and goals conceded during our crucial last 10 matches in the EPL. i believe Lehmann would be much much better in dealing them than Alumunia.. sighh...
