I don't think you can blame Ramsey for not shooting it first time, there were more Chelsea players around him than Bendtner

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Whereas with Bendtner, it was just him and Schwarzer, enough space to get a shot away if he tried to.
Given that Ramsey was about the only one who was trying to shoot, and had quite a few good efforts, I don't think you can hold that one against him....if I was him, I would have been suprised to a have received the ball back from a striker who was dead centre, unmarked and in prime position.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
And you don't think Bendy would have been closed down even quicker after controlling the ball?
I would assume he also possibly thought there was a defender near him, since you don't see him looking before he gets the ball.
Looking at it again, Ramsey is after the first ball from Rosicky.
Tbh, Rosicky is at fault here for playing the wrong ball
He trys to play in Bender first. FAIL.
Ramsey calls for it, and he ignores him FAIL
Then opts to put the ball right on Bender, instead of in front of him. FAIL
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
The only player I can see who could close him down in enough time was Bertrand (I think, number 34)
That said, Bender isn't looking for the chance, else he'd be truned toward goal slightly....which presumably Giroud would have been.
