Almunia should be coming for those. The keeper is the most important player on defending set pieces. Had Lehmann still been here, we wouldn't have lost to Fulham or Hull.

Almunia was questionable against Stoke too...
Had Campbell still been there we not have lost. Gallas was just as much at fault if not more.

I dont think Cech is what he used to be. Almunia has won us at least 4 or 5 games this season. He does things that Jens never did, the main thing being that he knows how to come out and smother a shot from close range to the man striking the ball.
Imo You shouldnt even be comparing Lehmann and Almunia....

Almunia aint got nuthin on jens. You seem to have forgotten how good he was cesc... Cant see any reason for comparison.
Yes Lehmann was a fantastic keeper, Almunia can be too. Is this forums aim to bring every player down who gets a mention?
I think Almunia has been in fantastic form.
No my friend... It aint the forums objective to bring down every player that gets a mention...

Saying that... I reckon brad friedel is a better goalie than almunia.. reina is one of the worlds best and i believe spain dont play him ahead of cassilas for sentimental reasons. Reina is waaaay better and should be spains number one.. (Cant believe im defending a scouser <_< )

Almunia is good and I'm glad Arsenal fans are happy with him.

But I wouldn't swap Reina for any other keeper in the Premiership.
Thats because he plays for your club, we say the same for Al cos he keeps for us.

I agree with gooner, the goals in question were not Almunia's fault, the only mistake he has made so far this season is the Aston Villa goal where he could have covered the post better but in all honesty it was a venomous strike and most keepers would have struggled with it.

You don't have confidence in our goalie who has been saving goals at vital moments?

No, I absolutely have no confidence in Almunia. I hold my breath whenever a corner is whipped in...

Who's putting him down? most here are agreeing that he is an excellent keeper, just not as good as reina and cech as of yet

We've been far better on corners lately than we used to be in my opinion

I feel he improves every half a season and in a minimum of 2 years will be one of the worlds best goalies
