Lehman says starting Cech over Leno may be a “misjudgement”

The 48-year-old believes that Leno must either be doing something wrong or the Coach made a poor choice to start Cech against City.

Lehman told Sky Sports: “Arsenal is a big club. It’s a different style of game, a different expectation, and obviously a different competition. Sometimes these guys aren’t used to that competition.

“I don’t know how he’s doing in training, but it tells you something if a guy who cost £20m, and has been chosen by the new manager, is not playing.

“That’s the strength of the squad, a misjudgement probably, but no-one knows because we are not there in training.

“We don’t know who the coaches like. If he tries a new player out, if not the other guy is playing. Bernd is a good ‘keeper, no doubt about that. The question is: can he show more than he did in the past? He must take more risks and continue his development. If he does that – good!”
