Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann admits there is a generation gap between himself and the Gunners defence.

He told the Arsenal Opus: "I know. There is just an eight-year gap between my oldest son and some of the Arsenal defenders! But I don't father them.

"They have to deliver and I have to deliver. Sometimes when I'm telling them things it's up to them whether they, first, listen and, second, agree.

"I don't want to be famous for yelling at them from my six-yard box but sometimes you have to do that as a keeper."
