Another Loss; Braga Win in Late Flurry

All the Gunners needed was a draw.  Wenger had chosen a less-than-powerful first XI to play against Braga in Portugal.  EPL teams have not faired well, historically, in Portugal.  And Arsenal had not won there in many tries. 
The commenters on fora are not happy with Wenger at the moment.  He blamed the loss on horrific refereeing (I agree with that assessment...complete donkeys), but he has to take some of the blame with his choice of players.
When you have a player who is a prolific goal-scorer in the Champions League, then why would you leave him on the bench to start the match?  That's what he did to Marouane.  And Wenger also left Samir Nasri there as well. 
The Gunners were playing boring ball and seemingly looking for the draw, but Fabregas and Wilshere in particular couldn't keep possession at all.  I lost count how many times each of them passed to the other team!
While stretching for a ball in the box, Fabregas aggravated his hamstring...again...and subbed himself off (leaving the side to 10 until Nasri could come on).  When Wenger put on Vela and Chamakh with 13 minutes to play, taking off Walcott and Bendtner, both of whom were useless, it was too late.  They changed the tempo of the match and brought life to the dull side and should have garnered a penalty taking the score to 0-1.  Chamakh nodded down a ball to Vela in the area and he was clearly taken to the ground by Rodriguez of Braga.  But the donkey ref gave Vela a card for simulation.  Unbelievable.  The Gunners seemed to unravel from there and Braga scored two late goals, both of which were given up by the soft defense.
One very true comment that came from the soccernet Gamecast commentary:
"Chamakh comes on for Bendtner, who really did little to justify the inflated opinion he has of himself."

Bendtner has been on about not getting enough time and basically saying that he should be playing in place of Chamakh.  So Wenger benched him for a match.  Then he started against Braga, and DID NOTHING AT ALL.  He was never where he should be (to receive crosses) and just loped about the pitch.  But Wenger should shoulder the blame for not replacing him earlier.
What does the 2-0 loss mean?  That Arsenal are even on points with Braga and must equal Braga's result in the last match.  The Gunners could still top the group if Braga beats Shakhtar Donetsk, but a loss or draw by Wenger's men in that case would mean they finished third in the group and their Champions League dream would be over.
