As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Don't get me wrong, Almunia is a great second choice keeper or first choice for midtable, he has become a solid reliable shot stopper but that isn't enough, we need a keeper like Reina, Cech, Lehman, VDS who yes, may make more "OMG" errors but do somewhat Almunia can't, the "how did he save that" saves.
Almunia during our bad run of form hasn't been awful but he hasn't been that good either. Some very good saves against Chelsea but felt he could have done better with the second and with so many of the goals he concedes, doubly so against the big teams, there is that feeling.
Did you not see the manure vs. scousers game, Reina was at fault for certainly 1 goal and prob for 2. Granted Mascarano really cost them the game but Reina did not help. I think Alumia has done a good job, but neither are actually good enough for a place in this team.
