Jens Lehmann: 41 and back in goal

Arsenal are in real dire straits at the back, they have a weak defence backed up by a retired goalkeeper. How could Arsene Wenger really think his team could challenge for the title???

The attacking side of Arsenal is for me the best in the Premiership, but the defence is weak. In terms of statistics Arsenal have conceded less goals than Manchester United, however they have become an embarrassment with ridiculous errors made by their keepers and defenders, especially at important times. It is now believed that the presence of Lehmann will guide the team to glory, but surely this area of the team should have been addressed long before now and perhaps an experienced outfield player would be more effective.

Arsenal need to strengthen their squad in the summer with a bit of hard working experience and then I believe they could be unstoppable.

Maybe having Lehmann will work for them, maybe not, but if they do win the title this year it will be due to a Manchester United meltdown and that’s highly unlikely.

Arsenal have the 2nd best defensive record in the prem, just behind Chelsea and ahead of united. There are down to their 5th choice keeper and 3rd and 4th choice centre backs who are new to the League. Give them a break.

I AGREE, GIVE THE LADS A BREAK THERE DOING THEIR BEST,WITH WHAT TALENT THEY'VE GOT,BUT THE BLAME LIES WITH WENGER,HE'S KNOWN FOR ABOUT THREE SEASONS THE STATE OF OUR DEFENCE,BUT HE'S SO STUBBORN AND GREEDY HE WON'T DO A THING. IN MY BOOK THAT'S BAD MANAGEMENT,
"SO WENGER OUT".
