Bendtner will rise


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has spoken about Nicklas Bendtner weak form. He believes Danish forward will rise up and his hard training work will be shown in next games.

Along with Emmanuel Eboue, big Danish forward Nicklas Bendtner has been booed by a select few of Arsenal's own support.

Last season the tall link-up man scored some crucial goals, including the winning goal in the final Champions League game against Steau, together with a winning header in the same month against arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

However, those goals have dried up and Bendtner has gone on a barren run leading some to criticise the inclusion of the Danish international.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger believes that the player has put in a lot of hard work this season, and is yet to receive his just rewards. He is also adamant that Bendtner will eventually turn into a top-class
centre-forward.

Arsenal play Middlesbrough on Saturday lunchtime, and Wenger explained in his pre-match press conference:

Rewarding Hard Work

"I believe that at this moment he puts a lot of pressure on himself and he does not play with enough freedom.

"I am sure he works harder than ever in training and that he will come good but at the moment he does not get rewarded for the kind of pressure he puts into his training."

Bendtner has made 16 first-team appearances, netting on five occasions, and has helped set up a further three goals.
