Fab support for not so Fab ‘keeper
Arsenal players have rallied around their embattled young goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski following his disastrous display in Wednesday’s 2-1 Champions League loss to Porto. Deputising for the injured Manuel Almunia, Fabianski produced a shocking display as his costly errors gifted Porto both goals in the last 16 first-leg tie. Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas, however, claimed on Thursday that the young Pole had the complete support of the dressing room. "He is a very good keeper," said the Spaniard. "He had his chance and sometimes it doesn't go your way. But we will stand up and support him until the end because he is a good character and I am sure he will be back." Fabianski looks set to play against Sunderland this weekend. Fabregas added: "Lukasz is strong and we have to be there for him. Sometimes when you are young in a big game, these things happen to you."
