But you guys are forgetting one thing. When a technical and light-weight player is not playing well, he has no use to the team so his substitution is justified. On the otehr hand, even if a big player is not playing well, he can still be useful to the team thanks to his inches (don't get me wrong

). That's the reality of football.
And it's not like Zlatan was that bad the other night, even the average ratings prove that. He was actually quite active and had a lot of chances. If that was a bad performance, then what do you call DP's performances when he doesn't even touch the ball once? I rather have a player on the field who guarantees me that he will be active (even if he misses all teh chances) than a player who does not guarantee me that and might or might not produce one bolt of genius in the whole game.
