Ex-Arsenal Star Parlour Urges Wenger To Target Chelsea Keeper Cech

After a couple of suspect performances for Chelsea in their last two games, when he conceded seven goals and looked uncharacteristically nervous, goalkeeper Petr Cech is being identified as a potential weak link in the Blues' line-up.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour, whose old team take on Chelsea in a Wembley FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, certainly feels that Cech's shaky form and possible lack of confidence is something the Gunners should seek to exploit.

Parlour, who famously scored a sensational goal against Cech's predecessor Carlo Cudicini in the 2002 FA Cup final at the Millennium Stadium, has urged his former boss Arsene Wenger to target the shaky Blues shot-stopper with plenty of teasing crosses.

The 36-year-old, a Cup winner three times in his Arsenal playing days, told The Sun, “If I was Arsene I’d be telling Theo Walcott to charge down that wing and ping in as many crosses as he can.

“Stick Emmanuel Adebayor in the box against Cech and something could give."

Parlour addeed, “On Tuesday [in the 4-4 Champions League draw against Liverpool], Cech wasn’t just wobbly for the first goal. Towards the end of the first half a cross came in, he flapped at it and the ball hit somebody on the back - it could have gone anywhere.

“Cech is nowhere near as commanding as he was last season. His confidence is shot to pieces. I saw mistakes creeping in against Bolton last weekend.”

And regarding the free-kick that Liverpool left-back Fabio Aurelio scored against him, with Cech caught well out of position on his line, Parlour added, "Where he was standing was ridiculous. Even I wouldn’t have stood there and I’m not a 'keeper.

“Maybe the head injury Cech got a year or so ago is to blame. But he isn’t as commanding as he once was, he is not as brave.

“Perhaps the problem is lack of competition. Carlo Cudicini has gone and who challenges Cech now?”
