Obviously we need better. Schniederlin or Carvalho would be perfect. But for now Flamini will have to do. He may let people get away from him and be rash with his tackles sometimes, but he does offer passion and help motivate the players around him.
And in regards to the aguero goal you can also question the positioning of both Moneal and Per. It's not like Flamini single handedly gave away a goal while everyone else was doing their jobs perfectly

I'm not saying Flamini didn't mess up. But there were other ways to avoid the goal

flamini should never have lost his man, making excuses is ludicrous
monreal was upfield for a reason due to our strategy and tactics he wasnt poorly positioned and had no chance to get back.
Mertesacker was marking a man and was in the right place had the ball got to his man
it was solely flaminis fault, he did nothing. For someone who's meant to be a dm, flamini cannot position himself, he cant mark tightly, he cant tackle so i'm not sure what part of his game is 'defensive'
