Some people have very short memories, on Tuesday night people on here were lauding Insua as our mom - the lad is only 20 so will suffer from inconsistency, especially when the team in general is playing poorly / inconsistently. I was praying for Rafa to take Insua off before he got a second yellow and couldn't believe it when he did a straight swap with Benny / Aurelio, thought he would have dropped Aurelio back an taken Insua off.
I realise he is young, however we were playing Reading not Barcelona.
His positional play is poor and he was constantly giving the ball away.
Not that long ago he was viewed as our brightest prospect , from me included. He has more experience than many of Arsenal's young kids - but they have no problem doing the basics.
I agree he had a stinker last night mate, that's why I said I was hoping he got taken off. It was the 'what's happened to Insua' that I picked up on. Nobody said what's happened to Insua when he had a good game on Tues night so presumably he had not become a decent defender overnight, similarly he has not become a bad one between Tues & Sat.
He was by no means the only one of our lads who could not do the basics last night & stick any of the arsenal kids in a team playing sh'1te, i'm sure they'd struggle too.
Most of me original post was about the game so not wanting to turn this into the Insua thread like just explaining me point.
