He's still a class player so no need to waste his talents on the bench.
However, he has too much faith in Ozil and Cathorla. Ozil did set up the first goal but he hasn't really been the player he was last year. Perhaps he needs the class players around him to step it up.

Don't blame him, he's comfortably better than Ox.

I think its disgraceful, I mean honestly maybe there's more to it but if its just a simple choice of picking a player, Podolski is a German international and one of the best finishers in the prem, we're going to end up losing him.
You can't come on and basically help us win the game against West Ham and then be sidelined for 3 weeks and not feel like the boss has got something against you.

How does Wenger expect him to lead the line if he never gives him any game time.

Let's see how Wenger would answer to this:
You don't win matches by being a good personality, or creating a good atmosphere; you win it by passing the ball on the pitch.

So we are out of balance if the left winger scores goals and makes assist ?
Santis output is shit, his convertion rate is below Giroud and he made several errors in the matches this season.
His link up play with Özil is awful unlike the one from Podolski and Özil (for Germany) but who cares cause WOW Santi can dribble, awesome let's give him a starter spot.
And btw Podolski is faster than nearly every player we had on the pitch yesterday so don't write such rubbish about "pace".
If Giroud runs and Podolski walks he is still faster and if such a skid like Giroud can lead our line and kill our counter attacking abilities cause he moves in slow motion there should be a place for Podolski.Shut up wrote:Podolski played poor against Cardiff so that is probably why he was dropped.
Podolski wasn't fit according to Wenger so why on earth did our supermanager let him play and fail ?
And Santi wasn't good in the majority of games this season..
