Yesterday his performance was a let down because i am one of the guy's biggest defenders, i genuinely think he is a very good keeper and actually sometimes his solidity between the sticks is overlooked however his performance yesterday gives weight and not unfairly so to many of his detractors on here.

What was he thinking coming off his line like that yesterday, it was exactly the kind of thing that made me despise Jens Lehmann at times....though to be fair on Szczesny he doesn't seem to have the same issues with personal space that Jens used to exhibit (i.e punching anyone that would look to challenge him when he went to claim a cross).

I think being dropped last season was good for him and although his critics won't acknowledge it he didn't put a foot wrong when he returned and in fact made some excellent saves....but again to repeat incidents like yesterday don't do him any favors at all (but when your deputy is Fabianski i suppose you don't really feel under pressure for your place)

I still think he very much has a future at Arsenal and being only 23 and a goalkeeper he has time on his side, i think there is potentially a ego problem that needs addressing and it would maybe do him no harm long term if we signed an experienced goalkeeper and benched him.
