Why does bruce put a left winger on the bench,and not play him. If he's good enough to be on the bench then play him,i am sick of bruce playing players out of position. If you noticed yesterday bendtner was pulling wide making space down the middle but no one had the nous to make the runs into that area,so if bruce is going to play bendtner as a striker down the middle play two wide men in there natural positions. Ffs bruce get a grip
Know what you mean but the problem for me is that we need to play another out and out striker (at least at home) Bendtner complained that Arsenal used him a lot on the wing and I can see why. He goes out there all the time and looks freaking brilliant. He does some great stuff BUT when he does it leaves nothing in the middle which is hugely frustrating. Except for Elmo's goal of course. Back to your point. YES he's a winger get him on and see what he can do. Even for 15/20 mins yesterday would have been ideal to replace Larson who tired a lot second half.
Like yourself we were screaming to bring a NATURAL left footed player on. ffs brucie at least give mclean a chance at home. WBA shut up shop instantly in the second half and we didnt have the guile to break them down. Another player down the wing could have made the difference.
I have said this before if they are good enough to be in the squad they should be given a chance to prove it on the pitch! If Whickham is worth 8 mill he should be starting! I have to agree about Bendtner he was dragging defenders with him and Sess had the rest fronting him up, IF there had been another attacker we could have ripped holes in WBA.
