Thank you for Istanbul Dudek.

Dudek, a final word.

Dudek won us the European Cup. He was then dumped to the bench where he has sat for most of the season. i would never have questioned his commitment to the club before the last two games. On Saturday he was very slugish and should have definatly saved Henry's scuffed ''shot''. Last night was a totally different ball game, it was as if he was saying 'i'll show you for leaving me on the bench for so long''. Probably not the best way to prove a point. Outfield players usually burst a gut when the get a chance to prove the manager wrong for leaving them on the bench. Whats this about a betting syndicate?? because last night did look like he didnt make any attempt to actually save any shots. OK he saved a peno, and a great save that was, but the game was over by then. Even the lads on sky said 'why didnt he move for the freekick' it wasnt that far away from him. I do feel that it is time for Dudek to move on, but I do not think he should be slaughtered before he goes. Were not Man U. The whole team were very poor last night including the manager.

Thank you for Istanbul, and close the door on your way out.

People need to remember....

• Goalkeeping is an a very specialist position.
  
• A Goalkeeper needs to be playing regularly in order to build up match fitness/sharpness
  
• A good Goalkeeper does not suddenly become woeful overnight.
  
• A Goalkeeper cannot stop goals from being conceded if the defenders in front of him are disorganised.
  

I remember people was slating Reina at the start of the season because he was all over the place & making error after error. But he turned it around & we went on a run of clean sheets.

Dudek IS a good Goalkeeper & has had many superb games for us. Yes he has not been at his best in the last 2 games. But thats because he has not played many 1st team games. IF he was given a run of games he would no doubt improve & be back to his best.

Dont slate the man because without him we would not have so many wonderful memories of that night in istanbul.

Dudek

awaits to be bombared with abuse

[FowlerLeftFoot]

yes, he should have played regularly in the reserves before being thrown in at cup games

Some very valid points but a good goalkeeper does not make as many mistakes a Dudek. I stuck up for him at the weekend but how can Arsenal score 6 goals from 6 shots on target past a good goalkeeper?

Plus what was he on about when he saved a penalty and looked at the bench going number 1?

Jerzy Didek has had as many bad times as good and i don't know how he has been at a clu that has title aspirations for so long.

maybe the 1 was look boss i've saved one

did say to my mate why does he bother with walls from free kicks as its a straight shot he saves.

said in another post Dudek hasn't the arrogance to come in cold for these games

Clearly, many goalkeepers would not dwel on making a mistake like he was when the cameras zoomed in on him.

Istanbul papered over alot of poor performances by the dude.

It's now time he was put out to stud.
