Why didn't he start today and even play upfront. Giroud was anomalous today and we would've seen Podolski play in his best position since the first game of the season vs Sunderland.
The last game Podolski played a full 90min was vs Liverpool.
He had 20min vs Stoke
Didn't feature vs Sunderland
And now didn't feature vs Balckburn
Also before the Liverpool game he played 10min vs Brighton
Why is he not being used and what is Wenger not telling us. It's not like he needs a rest for Bayern or is close to burnout (he always gets subbed off after 70min). BTW I'm not having a go at Giroud because he was anomalous today/ He's closer to burnout than Podolski after playing almost every game upfront for 90min. I think he deserves a rest for the Bayern game than Podolski.

Anomalous? - really??

Well he has been playing well lately so it only makes sense for Wenger to freeze him out of the team.

To be fair to the OP. I expect Wenger to put Podolski in as well. Why not risk that against Blackburn and leave Gerv on the bench?
