Strategy V Reading at Emirates Ground - LIVE. Wenger has faith in under-fire Szczesny Strategy manager Arsene Wenger seems goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny should really be very happy with previously having made 100 first-team appearances - and recalled even popular number 1 David Seaman had his "blips." The Poland stopper hasn't presented for the past two matches ahead of the break, dropped for Lukasz Fabianski against Bayern Munich and then watching on from the table at Swansea, decisions which produced open responses from his father. The 22-year-old moved quickly to distance himself from that strong criticism of Wenger, insisting he was happy to fight for his place, having come through the Arsenal childhood program after joining from Legia Warsaw in 2006. Wenger has every assurance in Szczesny's long-term ability. "That (100 appearances) is just a huge credit to him, some thing positively great and shows he's an excellent future," Wenger said in a interview with Arsenal Player. "What is happening to him at the moment is just a regular process of any profession - we had (Jens) Lehmann, (David) Seaman, they had their blips and their intervals where they were less good, even when they were more capable than Wojciech." Wenger must decide whether to recall Szczesny for the visit of relegation-battlers Reading, but has drawn a line underneath the new variety strip. "I haven't spoken to him (about his father's comments), but I believe he responded perfectly. There is a not a many more to say," the Gunners boss told a news conference. "We are in a competitive world, he has played 100 games for this team and at his age that is absolutely amazing. "For the rest, we've ups and downs within our kind and we have to fight that, that's what he explained, basically. "Wojciech features a good future. He is a really young goalkeeper. Many goalkeepers were not found very by you at his age who've the knowledge he has already, that's why I think he's a fantastic future, but he lives in some sort of where competition exists." The Gunners is likely to be without England pair Jack Wilshere (leg) and Theo Walcott (hip/thigh). Midfielder Abou Diaby can be missing after being ruled out for nine months with anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left leg. Left-back Kieran Gibbs will soon be considered after being laid low by a disease, but striker Lukas Podolski (leg) and right-back Bacary Sagna (leg) must be available again. Meanwhile, former Arsenal goalkeeper Stuart Taylor is wanting to obtain the chance to shut-out his old team when Reading continue their relegation fight. Taylor, 32, got through the youth rates at Highbury, and made enough first-team performances to state a champion champions' honor in 2001/2002 and also was on the bench for the FA Cup final conquer Southampton at Wembley. However, after acquiring Lehmann and Manuel Almunia ahead of him, Taylor moved on to Aston Villa in 2005, where he'd also see options limited behind Scott Carson, Brad Friedel and then Brad Guzan. Following a mortgage cause at Cardiff and a move to Manchester City, where his only look was in a FA Cup tie against Scunthorpe, Taylor finished up signing a one-year cope with the Royals. Accidents to both first-choice Adam Federici and deputy Alex McCarthy intended Taylor has started the past three league games and he'd enjoy the opportunity to manage his old area in what will be new director Nigel Adkins' first match responsible. "I have not actually performed against Arsenal. It'd be described as a great experience to go back there - it's a great team, who I have very fond memories of," Taylor said in a interview with www.readingfc.co.uk. "It was an excellent place to be considered a player. The lovers were always great there - and it had been a real honor, to play with a few of the people that I did. "They had a number of actually world-class experienced players there at the time, amazing players each of them, and, as he still does, Arsene Wenger started initially to put in the kids in alongside them. "Arsene Wenger gave my opportunity to me and I will always be indebted to him for that. "Arsenal are going through somewhat of an alteration right now, however many of the participants they've coming through are excellent. "A year or two down the line I think you'll see these young players and the team as a whole become stronger. "When a handful of those young people have a bit more knowledge under their belts, that is when Arsenal will be a real force." New Royals director Nigel Adkins may have striker Pavel Pogrebnyak available again following a three-match suspension, while targeting midfielder Jimmy Kebe continues to fight against a crotch problem.
