Fabianski Not Happy With Tottenham Goals
Lukasz Fabianski came under some strong criticism for his goalkeeping as he let in two Christian Eriksen free kicks against Spurs on Sunday as the Swans twice let slip a one goal advantage in a 2-2 draw.
Fabianski was beaten by direct free kicks in each half and it led to some stinging criticism from both Alan Shearer and Ian Wright who were both critical of the wall put there by Fabianski and that he should have learned from the first one.
It was hard criticism for a goalkeeper who has been outstanding since he signed from Arsenal at the start of last season but Fabianski was not defending his performance and was clearly disappointed at the two goals that got past him.
"I should have done better, especially with the first goal" he told Wales Online
"I’m not happy with that at all and that gave an opportunity for Spurs to come back into the game.
"I took a step to try and anticipate it, but that shouldn’t be my excuse.
"I didn’t see the ball exactly, the flight of the ball - Harry Kane and one of my defenders were in font of me and I just didn’t see it — but it wasn’t like it went over the wall, it went straight more or less.
"I didn’t see the moment of the shot, I just lost my head for a couple of seconds because I was trying to anticipate the shot."

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall.

That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
