Would you be nearly so quick to write our season off if it was Djourou and Squillaci for the rest of the year?
I certainly wouldn't. Tells you all you need to know, really.
More or less, yes. Any defence that involves Almunia and Squillaci for a prolonged period of time will struggle to keep clean sheets. Losing Koscielny would've been equally bad in my book.
I think we've still got a good chance though, mainly because most of our attack is up and running. They need to step it up in the run-in, but they were always the ones who were going to make the difference. I think that having both Robin and Cesc around this season will prove more important than keeping Djourou or even Szczesny fit. The front six are the ones that are supposed to win us games.
