Wenger's subs are often puzzling
But he's made 50,000 of him in his career so who are we to reason why?

To be fair to the viking warriorhe scored a couple for Nordenswefinland so, however unlikely, it was a good shock move but it needed an immediate effect, once they'd stopped laughing at the hair it was game over, i had hoped he'd have put Gnabbers on as soon as Sir Jack went over on his ankle but...ho-hum.

I think he was just alluding to what Wenger has said before about substitutions. I think it was when he substituted AOC against Utd for Arshavin, and he was quoted as saying much the same thing.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
It was a great shock move - trouble is, it shocked me far more than it did DortmundTo be fair to the viking warrior
Giroud seemed to be the one causing Dortmund the most problems, so maybe he thought having the two of them up there would create more?
I was more suprised that we went narrow again, after the success Cazorla and Ozil were having on the flanks....
It's how we conceded in the end, as we'd gone narrow and left a big 'ol channel down the left. Gibbs was caught, and the rest is history.

Agreed. When we go narrow it is essential for the full backs to push up & fill the void. However they both did it for the second goal & the rest is history - wouldn't mid so much if either of them could cross a ball.

That.
I am often puzzled by Wenger's subs, I guess he felt Giroud was flagging and Bendtner would add something although it shows up the lack of options up front if that's the best card you can play.
Theres not that much difference between Giroud and Bendtner. Ones a good player, the other is decent. There's certainly not much difference between a tired Giroud and a fresh Bendtner. Bendtner's problem was never ability but just the tendency to be a twat. He had looked decent in his latest few appearances, including scoring 2 goals against Italy.That.

I think he's OK but IMO if we want to be serious about competing at the very top level we want better options than that.
