Was a bit dodgy though - but you are only basing your comments on the commentators. He should have known he was back in the area but also should have headed it wider in the first place
This always happens wirth Arsenal. Whoever they have in goal or at CB always makes the most almighty cock-up you could think of. Usually it's a combination of the two falling over each other and scoring a joint own goal whilst injuring one another simultaneously, or something similar.
Looks like a few did.... http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/106787-Forget-Vito-Mannone!!-He-s-Shyte!!!
I haven't seen it online anywhere yet, but here's the description - Mannone was left embarrassed after racing out to the edge of his area to head clear under pressure from Kevin Mirallas - only then to make a complete hash of attempting to scissor-kick the ball clear when it was returned over him by Fuster.
Thanks for the site , doesn't seem to be on there yet but can have a quick look at chelseas first goal as I missed that one too
http://www.footytube.com/video/olympiakos-piraeus-arsenal-dec06-98228?ref=hp_ozeit_mp Why was he trying to scissor it? He was in his box by then, could have just caught it. Hopefully Wenger boots him out on the cheap now! On a separate note, how poor is Arshavin now? He was electric when he first signed.
He didn't pick it up because he lost awareness of where he was and where the penalty are was. When I watched that game last night Mannone's performance was absolutely shocking and I CANNOT understand how anyone would think it a good idea to have him back.
