Lehmann looks back in 'anger'

Mon 09 Jun, 07:45 AM


Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has fired a parting shot at the Gunners after admitting his final season frustrations at The Emirates.Lehmann is set to join Stuttgart for the start of next season after his contract expires with Arsenal.

The German shot-stopper endured a disappointing end to his Gunners career as he lost his place in Arsene Wenger's first XI to Manuel Almunia.

And Lehmann, who won the Premier League and FA Cup in his five years in north London, has admitted his irritation at being forced to fill the substitutes' bench and at watching his team-mates miss out on silverware last term.

"I experienced a lot of disappointment and a kind of anger last season," Lehmann told L'Equipe. "Being substitute annoys me, as did watching Arsenal waste all of their chances to win the title.

"Arsene Wenger knows I have not been happy with his decisions. But he knows I have learnt from him. I have always felt drawn towards him.

"Arsenal will remain a beautiful experience in my life. Both on a sporting and personal level, I reached the top there."

  2. Lehman, may your las Euro (maybe)end on the high. May you emerge the best keeper in the tournament. I wish you well for all you did for Arsenal, my club for life. Even in Stuggart, you year is gonna be blissful.

  3. As an Arsenal fan I have to say i have my doubts that Mr Wenger as good a manager as he is could spot a decent keeper if one were under his nose

  4. Lehman was a liability and always moaning at refs opponents and his own team, he messed up and paid the price, including costing them the champions league final getting sent off against Barca...

  5. It was a mistake to overlook Lehmans just for two or three mistakes he made. He was and are still better tha Almunia.
