The irony of it all is that Lehmann spent his whole career in England complaining about how the local refs do not protect the keepers like they do in Germany.... It also is interesting that the confrontation was with Subotic. He didn't back down to Lehmann. I like that.
Subotic looked very green in that match. He dove in to make a tackle 3-4 times and the opposition just knocked it past him or walked around him. He has had better days
I didn't see the match. I mostly was talking about from a character standpoint. I only have seen him play a couple of times. He seems to be a decent player.
not to turn this into a subotic thread.. but i have been HIGHLY impressed with his play.. guy would step into our first team no problem.
Nah, he'd be playing right back, maybe? Phishy says he'd step into the team but doesn't specify a position. Maybe up front like Samba; he is tall.
From the link: Vermaelen has been class since he got to the Emirates and Gallas has been poaching goals like he's channelling Bobby Pires. I wouldn't like to see either of them taken off.
