Pennant out for over two months

[Guest]

The poor football is down to a lack of confidence. Not because of Rafa's methods. We played great football at times at the beginning of the season, notably against Villa and against Chelsea.

If I feel like I have something to say I will express my opinion.It's a forum and not everybody will agree.You keep believing he is Liverpool standard and I will keep hoping Rafa brings in a top class replacement.

Granted your opinion is fine and you're right to have it, but i dont think he's been as bad as some people say.

I want another winger in no doubt the ones we have arent world class just squad players

[red g]

I agree as a goal threat he doesn't look threatening, but he's the only one in squad capable of taking the ball to the goal line and whipping in a cross (babel maybe but still early days), depending on who we are playing him or Stevie are our best right sided options and I think it's a pity we don't have him as an option for a few months, particularly given our run till crimbo

agreed, but still doesnt mean he ius good enough for us

agreed, but still doesnt mean he ius good enough for us

again i'm not saying he's goo enough for the first team week in week out at the level we should be at, but he's a decent squad player, and he's probably the best option we have out there of current personel

We should be looking at Ronaldo or Ribery class wingers. One or two wingers that can win you games on their own.

We need all our attacking players to be goal threats week in week out.

I don't think anyone can say that Pennant offers the above.

Right now if a team takes out Gerrard and Torres then our goal threat are more or less gone.

Silva,Mancini and Quaresma are the ones that are out there

You can add Nasri and Hamsik to that list.

Pennant is a quality player but not a high quality player.

We need more goal threats.

if he was out for another 2months it wouldnt concern me at all.

Just like Kewell then

Shows how good or wingers are or should i say how much they are off the pace in terms of our rivals

[pezzzer]

i think his personal life gets in the way of his football tbh

best player on the pitch against ac milan in may. i think if he prioritised football over his social life and the bint who throws him out of his house he would be awesome

the boy needs to grow up or ship out
he is a low grade proffesional, and it shows, big ime

kewell of now ...yes. watched him in the asian cup a few months ago...absolutely appalling. but then again majority of the aussie team were.but unlike pennant kewell did deliver in his first season with us. he was indeed our "egde of the seat" signing for a period of time but i just dont see that in pennant though ...dont think he is ever gonna come good . We must not forget though that he was signed towards the end of the transfer window ..rafa having failed to land alves.an obvious back up plan pennant .so its a matter of time till we see the last of him.made matter worse for himself with that insane tackle in that match against porto. could have been early curtains for us in CL.benayoun and babel are good enough for NOW...pennants absence will hardly be felt

everytime i read this i always think what game was you watching. i was at the game mate and the tactics were very clear. they would not allow riise any space on the left to beat them and prior to the final, riise had been a very big part of our success in europe, so much in fact, that milan committed gatusso to play defence against him. they conceded open play to pennant and give him time and space and almost dared pennant to beat them. he ****ing failed miserably cos he cant play a final ball and its unbelievable that people think he can cross a ball. i dont know what your standards are for best player on the pitch, but mine are ball winning, distribution and a solid head for the game. pennant looks like 7 million pounds of potential and doesent look nowhere near filling that potential. wenger knew what he was doing when he sanctioned him away from arsenal and unless pennant can shift up a gear, (which i dont think he can cos the amount of time he has been here to prove it) then he is not what we need and are looking for on the right hand side. barring further injuries, pennants presence will not be missed
