Not only for the goals he concedes.. but he never fills u with confidence.. He is so shit in going out for high and long balls.. the only thing i have to give him is that he is impressive in penalties.. I have to say whenever we concede a penalty i have the confidence that he will save it.. Good keepers r worth 3-5 points a season.. Great keepers might be worth even more points.. bad keepers cost u a few points a season.. Where do u think Almunia stand..!!

One thing that has had me thinking is that despite Almunias obvious calpability, how many times this season haas Arshavin either mishit or scuffed a shot? especially shots in good positions? Far too many for a player of his rep and it has cost us.

Sorry but I don't accept that.
He can score great goals with both feet as he demonstrated in the 4-4 game v Liverpool.
Very simply, he wasn't on his toes when the ball came to him which is very basic stuff.
Either that or he was caught in two minds as to whether to return the pass or strike. If so that's a mental issue which means he needs to sort that out.

Arshavin is the laziest f*cker we have. Should've seen him warming up on the touch line... I've seen a tortoise move faster. And we were right in front of that chance he fluffed; he should've just passed back to Nik who I think was looking for a one two (not seen the highlights, I never want to re-live disappointments). But I pointed it out before; everyone, especially that prick Myles Palmer, needs to take off their Arshavin specs and see that he's missed some vital opportunities which have cost us points.
