    If you read my original post again,you will see it wasn't a personal attack on pennant,but more on a solution, imo, to where we have failed this season.

      We still don't have proper wing play which is the most worrying aspect. Our goals today were firmly based in counter attack play. What I'd like to see is the ball moved wide and the winger beat his man and commit players. Through the middle we are great but wing play is so important. Pennant does have good control some times but he's not blessed with burning pace.

        I just think we should give him more time, Finnan was terrible until Rafa came basically and now he is the best right back in Britain. He is younger than Finnan so has more time to learn, also I think that the point being that he gets less time as he has played in the Premiership doesn't cut it.
        I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

          Also why was I not surprised to see a anti-Pennant thread.

            I think we have the players on the left, albeit when fit,to cover that side.I think Gonzalez is a cracking player and just when he started to play well got injured.We still have Kewell to come back(no don't laugh) and Riise can always play there aswell.It's something were all aware of, that our right side is our problem and we havn't done enough to solve it.

              Do you honestly believe Pennant is the answer to our right sided problem?

                Gonzalez is playing worse than Pennant, the difference is he didn't have any baggage with him. Also he has scored a few goals which has glossed over his ****ty games.

                  Maybe Alvez will come in but I'll believe it when I see it. We've pissed about for too long on the RW position and ended up taking Rafa's back up choice. The time has come for Rafa to be able to buy his first choice picks.

                    Lets just give him some more time, I find it funny that the same people slagging Pennant are the same ones saying Speedy needs more time. I am sure we both bought them in summer so surely they both need time to settle in a huge club like us?

                      My mate is a friend of Lescott and says that he found settling into a club like them took a while to get used to, so why shouldn't Pennant be any different?

                        I agree, leave the poor kid alone. Plus he hasn't had that long to 'settle in' if that's any excuse. A far bigger waste of money was that cnut Diouf, end of debate.

                            Pennant has been pretty **** this season, so have other players. He is under more scrutiny and pressure to perform than anyone else in our team. As a result he is finding it difficult to settle in and play with confidence. He'll only play well if he stops feeling so apprehensive. Part of that means the rest of the team playing well together, and part of it means the fans not being ready to pounce on his every slight error. He's doing everything he can to raise his game, anyone can see that.

                            To call him potentially the biggest waste of cash ever at this stage is unfair. Wait until the fear has left him and he's settled a bit, then we can judge him better. He may not be the classy, threatening wide player we're looking for, but he may yet prove a valuable squad member who can produce one accurate cross after another for our strikers to get onto.

                                Alves is nothing more than a pipe dream. Our only hope was to sign him this summer gone. His value has soeared since so we can forget about him.
