Djourou shouldn't have started. Everyone knew he'd be a liability and he was. It's easy to say now and it was just as easy to say then. And I did. As did everyone. Miquel or Yennaris would've been better options. So although Wenger reacted at HT and subbed him off, that was him correcting a mistake that he never should have made (and a mistake that had already cost us as we were losing from a cross that came in from our right side). And 'IF' we had won, the sub wouldn't have won it. All that sub did was ensure we had a fighting chance of not getting battered.

on the performance itself, i was quite happy with it, thought the lads did well, yenanrris was great in second half, kos proves once again he is best defender in premiership right now, just look at his tackle which led to our goal. simply superb. there are many things we can say about why we lost but it is not just the sub. rvp moaned about the sub, but he missed a golden chance to draw us level early on. that could have lost us the game. also i think the fans played a part, fat fuck was booed before he came on, we just scored and the crowd are booing. by all means boo at the end but what would you think as player if you just scored and want to push on and the crowd boo and scream abuse at the manger.
I don't know where to start with that. I'll just say that while you might not be wrong with some of what you say, I think it's the wrong way of looking at what happened.
