I have been putting off this thread for a while, but after today, i have to start a proper discussion...
I always maintained that Fabianski had the ability, but not the mentality, whether it was was the defeat at Chelsea years ago or not, something twigged in him and he became a liability.
From that moment on we feared for our lives when he was in goal, countless flaps, errors ensued and for the majority of Gooners, he was a complete disgrace...
Then, one game, away to tough opposition, an injury to Almunia..."FFS we all groaned"...
A penalty conceded, and a good one...bang, another penalty and the best penalty save you are likely to see, then boom a point blank shot...
"Good penalty save but i could have saved that" shouted Leody..."He will never do enough to change my opinion"
Here we are, after probably the most magnificent performance of his Arsenal career against top quality opposition and you have to wonder if Almunia is ever going to get his place back...
I hope not.
This is not Fabianski in goal, this is Buffon wearing a Fabianski suit.
I do jump the gun a lot but this bloke is turning out to be f***ing mega quality.
Another AW master stroke? Or did he have it always and just needed a kick up the arse in the form of one good save to bring it to the surface?
