I agree. But also on Arseblog:

Before the Fulham game Arsene said, “it would be stupid to lose points because we don’t have a left-back.” We’ve now lost 9 points since then and our lack of a recognised left-back and a right-back has been a larger factor in that than any misguided/unfortunately enforced substitution.


Why say that then. WUMger

We had a fullback yesterday. Sort of. Yennaris. Instead he started an absolute liability which he had to haul off at HT after some damage was already done. Djourou was getting ripped apart for the entire first half. And everyone saw it coming. Starting Miquel would've been better.
