Don’t forget Vito Mannone
Should Arsenal reap any rewards come May, don’t forget Vito Mannone while you are giving plaudits.
Stoppers are not often match winners, but the 21 year-old had his case to defy that theory on September 26, 2009 at Craven Cottage.
In only his first Premier League appearance away from home, this youngster turned worries over Almunia and Fabiasnki’s absence into belief that Wenger might have unearthed the new Gianluigi Buffon.
Arsenal’s third choice goalkeeper proved an Italian specialist between the posts that day to relentlessly deny Fulham and hand the Gunners victory on a ground where Liverpool and United have been easily dispatched this season.
Thanks to Vito Mannone for arguably the most priceless three points of 2009.
I agree,this youngster performed quite admirably in difficult and sudden circumstances,and deserves recognition.
He’ll be at AC Milan by the summer.
one thing’s for sure,Fulham fans will never forget him!!
Love the guy.
Surely with Almunia at Osansuna by the summer,we will be seeing much more Vito next season
if it wasn’t for the mistake he made in the west ham game, he would probably be our number one
He’s pure class. They call him Gigi.
Will not stay in Arsenal for many seasons. Had a fantastic game against Fulham but does´nt really have the quality to watch the posts in Gunners. Sczcezny will be a terrific keeper though.
