Such a difficult one to call.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
He was good when he came on yesterday, and stemed the flow that was coming in waves from that side of the pitch.
But at that age, and with little experience, it's difficult to keep that consistency, and level of performance.
That said, Djourou is consistently shit there, so waddayado!?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Djourou is horrific.
He really Britta'd the right back position.
He should know the basics at least, enough to get by until Sagna is back anyway. Djourou has been caught out of position so many times. The Valencia goal was pathetic, Giggs is one of the best crossers in the league yet there was about 10 yards between him and Djourou, all the bloody time in the world to float in a cross. All Djourou could do was stand off him like a mongo with his arms behind his back.Such a difficult one to call.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Djourou did actually have an injury, apparently.
Not to kick WUMger's cadaver further, but recent breakthroughs (Wilshere, Szczesny, Oxtail, Coquelin, perhaps Yennaris) have come through blunder and injuries rather than his faith in them. They've all proved to be successes so far (even those with limited play), so his seniority intransigence becomes even more baffling.

I was shouting blue murder. "Get out to him!!".
He didn't listen

Maybe he's intimidated by the 'failed youth project' label that he sticks with experience more now. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself.
But then he's been blamed in the past for not trusting to experience.
We can't have it both ways.
But what is clear, is that the balance of the side is affected without natural fullbacks...and Yennaris certainly balanced it out a bit through coming on.
He should really start the next game.....but I expect something more like this:
Almunia
Djourou Henry Arshavin Chesney
Sol Campbell Ramsey Song Arteta Theo
RVP

Gev was missed yeserday tbh the front three should be Gev Rvp AOC
It's not even really an experience or youth thing. It's the strange, misguided belief that misfiring, under-achieving, bordering on completely worthless players like Arshavin, Walcott, Chamakh and Bendtner, Denilson and Diaby in past seasons will suddenly come good after dozens upon dozens of games offering nothing but harm to the team. Ju has showed more than a little bit sharpness in his brief forays out of hibernation, but has been dumped for others. Even Rosicky's been better than some of our midfielders recently, but the Automaton code must not be broken, so he only plays him in desperate measures. WUMger is too much in the wanting zone.
