Goalkeeping is about Mental strength more than anything else.
Its clear to see Fabianski has better all round abilities than Chensey, except for catching the ball, but he's mentality is weak.
Chesney is still raw, but mentally he's tough to break down. That's the difference between a good goalie and top class one.
I guess as much, if not more, of the game is played in a goal keepers head than on the pitch.
Sadly Fabianski's confidence - and therefore football brain - are fried and have been for a while now.
Just look at his jittery performances in last season's Carling Cup fixtures.
I wonder if he could get some mental training. Maybe even visit a hypnotist. If that was the solution to my problems I'd snap it up immediately.
I like him a lot when we had him after Almunia flop vs West Brom 2010. It a shame Szczesny injured him to take over.
Get that guy who helps Ronnie O'Sullivan stop being mental in to help out.
he does have quality but his confidence is so fragile he'll end up going on massive runs of mistakes.
Shame, because ill be honest he has more ability than woj from what i've seen.
I'm not prepared to give Fabianski the 10 or so games it will take to boost his confidence.
IMO, Shezzers still has to improve a lot. Especially on free kicks. It's said he was injured for the last few games, so I'll give his shoddy shot-stopping through that period the benefit of the doubt.
It is also important for the defence not to think the keeper might throw one in the net even when he may be playing well. I always felt jittery when the ball went near him particularly in the air. Not a keeper for Stoke away, I am afraid.
We need an old guy. Jaaskelainen would've been great as back-up.
Its clear to see Fabianski has better all round abilities than Chensey.
-----------------------------------
Is it really? How? What are these all round abilities? He can't kick, his touch is awful, his shot stopping is ok but not better than shezzas, he cant catch, he is no where near commadning enough, he is always bricking himself looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
Christ, you chat so much poo.
both fabianski and sceszney are overrated by us Arsenal fans!!
Fabianski is just plain poor
Szcesney has potential but has unfortunately been given too much too soon which has lead to him buying into the wenger hype and start making mistakes.
We need a goalie who can challenge him for his place in the team to incentivise him to improve his game and keep his mouth closed.
Otherwise he'll end up like Bendtner
Fabniaski is not a bad keeper, but his confidence to trust what he can do is awful, so sometimes he reads a situation wrong and makes blooper errors.
At his best

He has neither 'mental strength' or height. I've seen nothing that would convince me this will come true. Unless that hypnotist guy kicks in
Wow, one of the strangest things I have ever heard Wenger say. Fabianski is an extremely average goalkeeper. When in form he is a great shot stopper, but that is all he is ever going to be.
Bet we will get Stu Taylor back off City as back up
In my opinion Szczesny's biggest assetts are the fact that he can get back up and dust himself off after a mistake without it affecting him for long and that he can identify his faults and works hard on them (admittedly this is mainly based on how hard he worked to improve his kicking, but at least he wasn't completely oblivious to the problem and isn't as arrogant enough to just ignore it, like some people suggest).

He's shot stopping is excellent, better kicking than Chensey, but Chesney is better at comanding and organising.
Basically Fabianski fundamentally is a better keeper than Chesney. But as I said Chesney's mental games and confidence is something that is valued more over long term, he's gonna improve.
If you think I chat poo, you need to check your eyes out, check out Fabiasnki's saves v Wigan + Wolves.
if you combined fabianski's technique AND decision-making with szczesny's height and resilience, you'd have the best keeper on the planet.
technically, fabianski is as good a goalkeeper as i've ever seen. but he's fragile mentally.
on the other hand, szczesny's technique is very poor, and he mostly acts on instinct. he's got great confidence, which means he does well most of the time, but his unpolished technique means he concedes saveable goals.
