Jens told to calm it a little

[Alexone234]

reports on Sky news claim the Wenger has had a couple of words with Lehman over his temper. Wenger must be sure that he is an important part of our great defensive record and doesn;t want to lose him for something silly


As we all know, 'Mad' Jens is prone to going of the deep end re:Kevin Phillips incident.

Looks like you guys don't know Lehmann too well just yet. When he used to be with Dortmund he used to get sent off in big games. I remember him being sent off against Dortmund. This guy's got a bad attitude.

against dortmund?

do u mean bayern?

The only time I've really seen Lehmann lose it was with kevin phillips. I think his temper has improved anyway.

 

[pamilih]

Don't worry, we'll get Frey.

 

[mood]

Sorry I mean against BAYERN.

 

[mood]

Don't worry, we'll get Frey.

I dont think Wenger is looking for a keeper just as yet. So far, it's just speculation.

 

[unknown-gunner]

he hasnt been too bad for us, considering that there is more physical contact on the keepers compared to what he is used to.

he also holds the record in the bundis liga for the most dismissals by a goal keeper (or sumtin like that).

i can recall 2 incidents so far where he went off...

*against kevin phillips
*against manure when he eyeballed and abused the ref for vieiras send off.

 

[Soler]

The incident against ManUre cancels itself out as the whole team went over board then.

 

[satan_beckham]

never mind of his temper,hes been great for us and i want him to continue like that....

 

[Jinn]

He's been great for what we paid for him, and we definitely couldn't have continued with Seaman or Taylor.

 

[Alexone234]

I think that the back four like Jens too, plus he seems to enjoy the set up at Arsenal. Already he has been one of the defensive differences between this season and last season.

Mad, crazy or not. Long live the Jens!!!!!

 

[torgrim]

I actually LIKE the rogue branding. It's not like he's done anything shocking or terrible, he is emotional and get involved in the game. At Schalke he smacked one of he's team-mates... but he's done well and I'm quite pleased with him this far.

Here´s the whole story on itv.news:

http://www.itv-football.co.uk/News/story_98049.shtml

Here are some excerpts:

"Wenger told the Evening Standard: "It is different in this country and I like it the way it is. I think, overall, Jens likes it here too. It's always a shock to the system when a player comes over from Europe but he's bright and knows when he's done wrong."

"After a game when he's over-reacted, he will say sorry. He knows he must learn to keep his cool and I've told him that, but he is determined and always wants to win the game. Since he has joined the club he's made a big impact and I've been very pleased with him."

he is a very good, though not truly great, goalkeeper. he does, however, need to "check his head", as the beastie boys would say. he loses composure very quickly, which results in two undesirable consequences: (1) technical errors, such as the the CL gaffes, (2) behavioural misdemeanours, such as the Phillips incident, the arguments with strikers that he gets into every week, and the virtual sodomising of Danny Mills today which could have resulted in a penalty. If he doesn't calm down, it could cost us in a big game - especially against a sly and canny striker like RvN who will provoke him into going mental.

1. We're not looking for another keeper.

2. Too much is made about a couple of red cards in Germany. He's certainly no nutter in the red nosed racist category.

3. That Phillips incident. Lets be realistic, he didn't exactly throw the ball hard at the tosser, did he. Yes it was silly and he shouldn't have done it, but lets not build it up too much. It was a tap.

4. Mancs. Remember he got rugby tackled to the ground.

5. 'Mad' Jens is a media hype. If he'd signed for someone else he'd be called 'spirited'.

6. He's gonna win himself some medals this season!!!!!!!!

 

[Mark]

that's a good point, today when he was pushing mills i think it was a penalty, we were very lucky to get away with that, it could've changed the game completely. he will need to stop doing that.

It was handbags, Lehmann could always finish his career in the WWE.

to 2:

Exactly. It was actually two straight red´s in his career (one of it for shaking is own teammate as far as I reacall).

to 3:

Philips got charged by the FA and pleaded guilty. The guy is a **** and deliberately kicked Jens.


I agree though, that he has to watch out for the RVN striker type, that will try to get him sent off.
