It turned into a one sided affair once they came off. Ramsey and Arteta should never have finished that game. Fulham were bypassing our midfield all day and it got worse as the game went on. Without Gerv and Theo covering the wings and tracking runners, we were open. We should have never lost that game. Bad subs flipped the game. The last 20 minutes was played in our own half. Theo and Gerv gave Fulham something to worry about at least. On fast breaks, Benni and Rosicky couldn't keep up the pace but it's not as if Ramsey and Arteta could find them anyway.
We've missed chances in games before and still come out on top. We surrendered possession with those subs. I hate the Arteta and Ramsey combo. Both aren't good enough and it showed badly today because once players weren't bursting forward, they couldn't play the intelligent pass and keep possession. They couldn't even foul the Fulham playere just to break their stride a bit.
But saying that, we could do better than Gerv and Theo. Terrible performances but they are the type of wingers you need for a 4-3-3. Direct, single minded and bags of pace. They're the right sort of wingers but the quality is questionable. Pace scares defenders. Well, these two can be described as rubber guns. They at least appear to be threatening.
