Lukasz Fabianski
Position : Goalkeeper
Nation : Poland
2011/2012 Appearances : 6
Fabianski, at one tipped to be the number 1 keeper at Arsenal, has barely featured, owing to the rise of his own compatriot, Wojciech Szczesny. He has had to contend with being second choice, and many are expecting him to leave. He played in the 3-1 win over Shrewsbury as well as the 2-1 won over Bolton, both Carling Cup games. He pulled off numerous saves against Bolton. He had a poor night in Olympiakos, where he was guilty for conceding both, and even suffered a knee injury, and had to be taken off. He would next go on to play in the 3-2 FA Cup win over Aston Villa, where he made several saves. The second goal scored by Villa was initially saved by Fabianski, but Bent scored off the rebound. He would also play in the 2-0 cup exit at the hands of Sunderland.
SUMMARY AND RATING
It is more than likely that Fabianski will look for a different club to get more time on the pitch. He gets a 6.5.
Manuel Almunia
Position : Goalkeeper
Nation : Spain
2011/2012 Appearances : 0
After nearly 170 appearances for Arsenal, Almunia fell down the pecking order and has spent time on loan with West Ham, before he was released by the club earlier this week.
NO RATING
Vito Mannone
Position : Goalkeeper
Nation : Italy
2011/2012 Appearances : 1 (1 as sub)
Mannone came on as a sub for the injured Fabianski in the dead rubber Champions League clash against Olympiakos. He made a complete hash of it, allowing David Fuster to score the third side for the Greek team. He has since spent time on loan with Hull City.
