If he can't pose a reasonable threat from a position like that, don't even put him in the reserves. Just get him making the tea.
I have no time for the Dane and would rather he weren't on the bench at all...but if Wenger's going to play him and he is open, give him the ball. If Jenkinson had sipped past 2 players in open play down the wing, spotted Bendtner unmarked with just the keeper to beat and decided to pass it down field to somebody else, we probably would have been even more pissed and yet the actual scenario that played out was almost as bad as that.
Just imagine if we'd have conceded after that moment. Just for the sake of wasting a few seconds. It wasn't smart. He should have passed it to Bendy and even if he didn't score and a defender got back to him, we could have won a corner and wasted time up in their half. Luckily it didn't cost us.
