Arrogant Cesc isn’t quite so Fab

IT’S easy to pick on Jens Lehmann, after two such significant, successive bloomers and believe me, I’ve never been our loony net minder’s No.1 fan.

For some time now I’ve believed that our bantamweight backline might be best served by a keeper who’s more capable of dominating his box. Yet at least Jens mistakes were honest ones. He fell over against Fulham and took his eye off the ball at Blackburn.

It’s just that keeper errors tend to be more crucial and we need to bear in mind that our goal and Bendtner’s chance late-on, both stemmed from a strangely inconsistent showing from Brad Friedel at the other end.
