No, we're suggesting that the first instinct of pretty much any player in that situation is to slow things down, see the game out.
His back was turned when Bendy was screaming for it, you could argue he could have been more aware but I refer you to my original point.
I've seen it a million* times at the Emirates when teams are drawing or winning.
I've also seen Arsenal throw away a million* games by doing stupid things, if we're closing down games now by slowing things down at times in tight games then great.

* - may be exaggeration, but you get the point.
