Arsenal legend Seaman: Goalkeepers not to blame for lack of trophies

Arsenal legend David Seaman says the club's trophy drought cannot be blamed on their goalkeeper woes.

Seaman says Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski are not to blame for Arsenal's lack of trophies last season.

He told the Mirror: "I don't think the goalkeeper would have made the difference last season, I think the main thing was the injuries to key players like Van Persie, who was out for a long time and Fabregas was out for a long time. They're two massive players that you've got to have in your side.

"Ok the two goalkeepers didn't finish the season very well, they both made mistakes at crucial times and that's why everyone's questioning whether we need a new goalkeeper, but it's not panic stations."
