The guy has now awareness of what was going on that's pretty clear, sure you try and run down the time but if there's a good chance to score a 2nd and win it all the better.
Yeah it was just plain stupidity, if he wants to be in the 1st team he needs to impress in every possible way.

You can't be offside from a throw in at any case so that didn't matter.Originally Posted by Blink 1nce Quince 2wice
Santa's Big Sack.........of Gifts is right, though I made the same point earlier in this thread. Jenks' first instinct was understanbly to run down the clock in the 93th minute so you can't have that much of a go at the lad ....... though he should have been more situationally aware. Scanning his surroundings and wasting time are not mutually exclusive events.
Oh yeah. Doh!
I don't think anyone disagrees what his first instinct was as that was generally what the team was doing at the time. Incidentally most concede he should have been more aware too, not least because Nicklas is frantically waving his arms in the air screaming at him.
So we are all pretty much in agreement, it just happens that some think too much is being made of it but that comment in itself was probably the reason why we continued to debate it.

I personally would have taken it quickly but eating up the clock was logical as well.
You're obviously a smart guy!
Honestly I don't see what the problem was. Yeh it was frustrating but when you realise
it was bendtner who was screaming for it on his own you know that he probably would've done fuck all with it anyway.
Jenks did the job that wenger probably instructed him to do, run down the clock and see out the 1-0.
This is a completely nothing debate from people who are desperate to find something to moan about now we're top of the league.
It's going into injury time in a game which we need to win to go top of the league. We're under pressure, the first priority is to run down the clock, keep a clean sheet, win the game. A second goal would have been nice and settled nerves but the first priority is what we have, we hold.
The very people moaning about this were moaning about how naive we were to push for a winner against Dortmund when we got caught then. Jenkinson was way up the field, if he'd taken it quickly and it had gone wrong he'd have been out of position. He was facing away from Bendtner when he was screaming for it, soon as he realised he looked to throw it to him but the moment had gone.
I know this is an Arsenal messageboard but do we really need to over-analyze every decision. We won the game, we're top of the league. Cheer up FFS!
Hard to disagree.
Spot on.
I really don't understand the point of some things that get debated on here at times
There's a reason it's widely regarded as the worst Arsenal forum on the web.Spot on.
