Just looked up Fabianski's total record.

50 - 14 - 28%

Very good, better than 1 in 4.

:lol: :lol:

One way of looking at it I suppose.
Conserve energy, don’t concede and take chances. Achieved 2/3. We could’ve gone up a few gears but it wasn’t necessary.

You seriously believe that we only went through the motions, set out not to concede, but had no intention of putting in the extra effort to win the game?

Apart from the fact that it would be a disgrace if true (and no way is it true), then it must be the way we approach almost every European match, because it was the same old disjointed, crap performance. We were poor, very poor and trying to justify every aspect of our performances as some cunning masterplan is bonkers. I'll admit that one or two of us on here lean towards the negative side, but trying to put a positive spin on performances like last night, really is polishing a turd.
We clearly put in the effort needed to win because we created chances. My point is that this was not a win at any cost game and Atalanta are far from pushovers like some suggest. There are 7games left at this stage and with a key game coming up on Sunday, we had to be pragmatic.
I don't recall anyone saying that Atalanta are "Pushovers", if anything the posts on this thread were saying they are a decent Attacking team etc
I did. any team with colossal snarch in is gash. And 70 year old cuadrado

That’s some serious sleuthing Retro.

1 in 18 for helmet head, fucking hell and that was at home to the elephant man I remember.

Worst keeper I’ve ever seen at Arsenal, then scampered back to the chavs as soon his contract was up like the rat bastard he is.

i cant remember the exact details, possibly helmet heads home debut and against west ham, but i think they got 2 directly from shite positioning on the keepers part and alarm bells were ringing everywhere except on the Arsenal bench.

Ah yes Rodders and xgt, but you’re forgetting that he was going to be worth an extra 12 points a season to us. I know this because John Terry told us so. Not sure if it turned out that way……….

Hmmm, good point, I'm not sure he did, but I think we now know.

The save against Villa and again last night were absolutely incredible. Look at where he is at the moment both players head the ball, dead and buried, yet somehow he manages to scramble and make the safe.

The Villa one is still the best for me because he’s still on the ground when Watkins heads it.

Both cracking saves, but for me Rodders, last night's was the best of the two. He was further away from the ball after it was headed and last night he had to get down to scoop it off the ground. The Watkins one was a better height to save.

Still, pedantry really, because both deserve to be lauded.
True. And a far cry form the days when they’d easily trickle in past helmet head :twisted:

Ah yes, the good old days, when every penalty was a certain goal conceded. Never sure why we bothered making the other side take the kick, instead of just awarding them the goal.

As you say, Cech was abysmal and likewise Leno and Ramsdale after him. In total they faced 43 penalties and saved 3. :lol: That's a 7% success rate.

As it's Friday afternoon I decided to take a look at the stats all the way back to Fabianski (not including odd keepers that played a couple of games in total). Stats as follows, first figure is number of penalties faced and the second is the number of saves and the % success rate:

Fabianski 11 - 3, 27%
Szczesny 19 - 3, 16%
Ospina 8 - 1, 12.5%
Cech 18 - 1, 5.5%
Leno 17 - 2, 12%
Ramsdale 8 - 0, 0%

TOTAL 81 - 10, 12%

Fabianski way out in front and woeful from Cech and Ramsdale. We're going back about 15-16 years here, so a fair sample to arrive at a 12% success rate overall. I wonder what the PL team average is over 15 years?
The most shocking thing about that is Kryten Features actually saved one?!! :shock:

I genuinely do not remember him saving a single penno. :lol:
