ya... i'm surprised that no one else has defended Lehmann. If he is truly so bad at goal keeping then can u list all the mistakes that was his fault for the entire season?
I'm sure you'll find that he only has a couple which are inevitable for any keeper. IMO i think DS1 made more mistakes in his last 2 or 3 seasons in arsenal so i don't know what on earth everyone is on his case for.
the only other keeper i would've swapped Lehmann for in the League would only be Tim Howard or Dudek (i know i'm gonna get flamed for this) and that was only when they were fit.
if u would look at the semi match i blame Toure more than Lehmann. He was infront of scholes and was in Lehmann's way, but he only stood there flicking his feet instead of running Scholes down which i would've done. That was about the only obvious mistake i've seen our def make all season. kolo got in the way and Jens had to dive which ever way he thought the shot was coming.
so chill out people. Lehmann is eccentric but not stupid. u guys think he's being wound up by the opponents, but i think he's trying to wound up Ronaldo cos he's causing much trouble on poor cole.
anyways, instead of booing him while Lehmann plays today (it's 2:30pm on TSN for fellow canadians) i'm going to be cheering him and make sure he uses his 1 yellow card wisely on choosing who to push on the floor tonite :twisted:
