Not saying Theo wasn't shocking offensively and that we should have had world class opens on the bench, but we lost that match the moment theo and gervinho came off.
If that theory is true then we're in very serious trouble as a club. It means we need the pace of our wingers for defensive purposes even though they offer zero threat up front and even against mid table teams. Which means we genuinely have constructed a team where we rely on a single player to score all the goals. If that's the case it's only a matter of time before we plunge down the league because RvP can't keep up this scoring rate.
