Lubianski puts Wembley nightmare behind him

Lukasz Fabianski will not let the occasion get to him again were Arsenal to return to Wembley in the FA Cup.

A rash dart out of the area handed Chelsea striker Didier Drogba a late winner in their semi-final clash on what was, to top it all, his 24th birthday.

While it was hardly the best way to stake a claim for Manuel Almunia's number one slot, the Poland international stopper believes he is better for the experience.

"The way I thought about that FA Cup tie was maybe a bit wrong - it was my birthday, it was Wembley against Chelsea and maybe I pushed myself too much," Fabianski told Arsenal TV Online.

"I was not myself during that game. Now I just want to be focused in every single game this season."

Fabianski, though, will not dwell on his Wembley nightmare.

"I am not really determined [to do well this season] because of what happened [at Wembley], because then it can turn against you," he said.

"Whatever the match is, whether it be FA Cup, Carling Cup, Champions League or Premier League, I am treating them the same and just trying to be really focused."
