Almunia: We need to perform in the Premiership

Manuel Almunia has said that Arsenal need to turn their European form into performing in the Premier League.

Arsenal endured their worst-ever finish in the Premier League under Arsène Wenger [finishing 4th], but ironically managed their best ever European campaign by reaching the Champions League final.

Almunia said: "We have shown to everyone that Arsenal can do big things in Europe.

"Now we have to improve our performance in the league next season to challenge Manchester United and Chelsea for the title.

"We had the game in our hands but Barca is a great team and playing with 10 players for made it very difficult for us."

Why is he talking? He should keep quiet because I certainly don't want to see his name and have to relive those shit attempts at saves.

How can we improve our results with a goalkeeper like Almunia? We need a new player on this post and I hope that Wenger will find an appropriate one: like Alex Manninger was in 97-98!
