Maybe he can't handle the pressure just like all the rest of Wenger's troops from bottleville?
It's what can be classed as the worst case scenario for him personally. Like Jens getting himself sent off in the CL final. Or Dave having that toothy guy lob it over his head. It happens. He was playing behind a fairly random back four as well, their guy on the right was decent enough but their left back was nightmarish. And the two in the centre certainly enjoyed leaving a lot of space. Didn't they say the Poles hadn't played a competitive match in 2 years? It showed.
