This is all that matters. Had he made the correct substitutions and sub out Denilson and Arshavin we would have won today.

If you saw the post-match, you'd know that from the bench, they felt our passing was slowing and inaccurate. So for that very reason he left on Denilson who has a 94% passing completion rate and took off Song. Instantly a defensive minded midfield now becomes a lot more dynamic. Chamakh is also suffering from season fatigue. Ultimately we only needed one centre forward up there. Arshavin has done enough to warrant him some additional minutes to get through this lull.scytheavatar said:AnthonyG said:His subs saved us the game.
It's not the players he bought in that's the issue, it's the players he took out that didn't make a lot of sense. Why Chamakh and Song instead of Arshavin, Bendtner or Denilson? Chamakh wasn't doing a lot but he still did much more than Bendtner.
