Wenger: I am happy with my keepers

Manager Arsène Wenger has restated his confidence in the goalkeepers at the club, saying that it was important to support and give them confidence.

First choice Manuel Almunia hasn't exactly been instilling confidence in the fans this season, and many are calling for the Spaniard to be replaced in the summer.

Second choice Lukasz Fabianski committed a number of errors in the match against Porto in midweek to gift the Portugese a 2-1 advantage going into the second leg of the Champions League tie.

Wenger said: "We live with opinions of people and everybody is entitled to theirs, but I believe in the keepers I have.

"We have to give Fabianski support and show solidarity with him. I believe he will be a great goalkeeper. He had an unlucky night.

"Every goalkeeper who had a great career has had a night like that. On the first goal, of course, on the second all the circumstances went against him. It does not change my opinion about him.

"It is a good opportunity for us to show that we are a special club and that we have a special togetherness and that we win and lose as a team.

"It happened to him on the night and we can put it right in the second leg and that is where we can show how special we are.

"Fabianski is not as young as you think he is. He has already played in Poland and has won championships in Poland. Almunia is 34-years-old. If you don't have experience at 34, you never get experience."
