Amazing 1st half, second half first 20seconds was a *word censored* again. Second goal not his fault. Good save from Messi in second half though.

Faultless in my opinion, kept us in the champions league with a string of good saves in the first half.

Faultless!

I'm assuming you missed the first minute of the 2nd half, when Almunia did a..... Almunia

He was in no mans land, and if you think that was faultless, well....

seruiously,you don't have to lie to get your point across mate... after all, we all watched the same game!

GREAT GREAT first half, but cost us a goal as per usual.... where's the consistency? you can't rely on a guy who is that unreliable. Shame because I really like the bloke and was delighted for him at half time... oh, well - shame it couldn't last

Almunia made a bad decision for the first goal, but he did more good than bad tonight, so i'm not going to get on his back for his performance.

But overall he truely is sh*t and the worst Arsenal number one goalkeeper iv'e ever seen.

I don't really know mate, he was expecting the ball to run through to him, so was i in truth.

Just not good enough.

He's a little twat.. Gives you the feeling of a world class keeper in the first half, but than in the first minute of the second, he's back to his old league 1 level.

I would have love him to stay, but only as a sub (and Carling and FA cup keeper).

I have already appreciated what he did in the first half...but when you re-watch the highlight, basically he was lucky rather he was a great goelie!!

I think you have to give nothing but credit for his first half performance.... but he's cost us 2 vital goals in 4 days, which is a shame

This is the problem with Al he isnt consistant enough to be a top class keeper, blinding one minute a liability the next

Well the first goal was vital. His school-boy mistake is still totally unacceptable for the first goal!!! I am happy with 2-2 after following the whole game. But who knows it won't be 0-0 if it's not AL again

Great showing clean sheet Al I knew you would play a blinder.

Correct me if I forgot someone but I dont think I can remember an Arsenal player make as many mistakes at his time at Arsenal yet remain a starter.

Amazing first half!! And I don't really wanna or need to say what happened in the 2nd half, but agree with most of you he's still not good enough to be in a team competing for numerous trophies!!

Oh how I wish we had a world class keeper but props to Manuel for saving us from major embarasment!! After all that's happened this season, it's more of a relief to have him back and makes me appreciate him more knowing there's Fabianksi though!!
I know I'd rather have manuel rather than flappy.
