As with all footballers, they have their strengths and their weaknesses. Gary Neville's weakness is probably goalscoring and his strength is tackling. Whereas Ruud Van Nistlerooy's streanght is goalscoring and his weakness is tackiling.

Lemon may have a strength of saving penalties (on the rare occasion that there is one), and a weakness of handling maybe.
Robinson however may not be the greatest penalty saver, but he has fantastic handling. But obviously everyone makes the odd mistake every now and then.

I feel on the whole and many people will agree, that Paul Robinson is overall the more reliable and better goalkeeper. Lemon has a temper that can blow at any time; which makes him a liability.

Robbo gets my vote.

Lehman handling isn't his weakness, his hadling is probably still better than Robinson. Lehman only weakness is his temper, however i do feel you overrate this point. Also I wouldn't call Lehman a liabillity when it was probably out of Toure or Lehman who were Arsenals most consistent player last season. Ignoring Lehman temper and comparing both Robinson and Lehmans goalkepper abillity, Lehman is by far the better keeper.

The nominees for fifa's goalkeeper of year award have been announced recently, the nominess inlcuded;

Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Petr Cech (Chelsea), Dida (Milan), Jens Lehmann (Arsenal), Edwin van der Sar (Man United).

No mention of Robinson and rightly so. Whilst Lehman is one of the best three goalkeepers in the world and Robinson probably isn't in the 5 best goalkeepers in the PL let alone the world.

Like I said, he can make a good save from time to time.

I still feel Robinson is the better keeper though and I'm not going to change my mind.

You can't blame him for that. It is where the goalkeeper was kicking in the first half, left a divot. The groundsmen at half time should have sorted it.

Your just saying tht because u r a Spurs fan ! I definitely think tht lehmann is a world-class
goalie but honestly speaking he isn't the best ! Lehmann is just wonderful . Maybe he can be a little
bit aggresive but everyone has their own attitude and Lehmann is just Lehmann . No doubt he is good enough for Germany. Oliver Kahn was superior during his prime but i think he wasnt the one for Germany
during the world cup ! Only one could have stand up for tht ! He was Jens Lehmann !

I am not just saying that because I am a Spurs fan. I honestly believe Robbo is the better of the two.

Well..if thats what you have in mind. Then i will have to respect that.
Robinson is a good keeper no doubt about tht..he can make wonderful
saves in times and he wasnt that bad during the England-Crotia game , was he ?
He is quality material but keepers make mistakes so i am slightly dissapointed
of the ways some of the fans have been treating him since his blunder
againts Crotia ! Pity Robinson ! Sad
