'Arry Revs Up Bentley

[KeaneIsKeane]

I don't think he's good enough. I'd like to see Dos Santos, wish he was healthy. I seriously think Dos Santos could solve our left side.

The Bentley issue is a toughie at the moment.

For me, it's only really worth playing him out on the right as his delivery is the main part of his game.

Up until today, I would have said keep him on the right and Lennon, who is undroppable at the mo can play down the left.

Thing is, Lennon was so darn good today down the right - bought back memories of when he first broke into the team and his crossing / delivery was looking even better - that I can't see a place for him in the team at the mo.

This is a real turn-around for me too, as during the summer I was really all for getting him and playing at the expense at Lennon but on the main he has been a bit disappointing - his corners and free kicks having been so good either, would like to see Bale go back to taking these (if he wver manages to play in a winning side!).

People like Flatters in particular should probably get a pat on the back for their continued support of Lennon during his dodgy spell (apologies to others who also supported Lennon, I just remember Flatters posting a LOT about Lennon being quality!).

I'd also really like to see a leftie down the left - either Dos Santos given a go there when fit, possibly Modric or ac actual specialist left winger (which Dos Santos could also develope into).

Suppose this is the advantage of a great squad, maybe also Lennon will alternate wings a bit like Ronaldo does at United. Some days Park plays on the opposite side, sometimes Nani, other times Giggs.

Extremely poor as the rest of our midfield....apart from Lennon

Take off Jenas and Bentley and bring on O'Hara and Zokora

Zok for Jenas mg:

bentley had a shocker today - very poor all round - if he was a goalie we'd have been 20 nil down

Ive said it before, and Im gonna say it again. Bentley is not worth the 17mil we paid for him. He is so, so average that it's kind of embarassing that the club paid that much money for him. He cant even hold the ball properly FFS. So his passes or crosses or freekicks are good, but Jenas can do that as well, and so can the Hudd. They didnt cost that much did they? I hope he makes me eat my words, but so far, he has been our poorest player today. 17 mil...bahhh.

I hope you eat your words to. Agreed he was not great today but i feel he has a lot to offer the squad. At his best Bentley is a great palyer, lets just hope we get to see that soon.

I didn't think there was a lot wrong with his set-pieces today though.

Other than that, he was a bit shit.

As soon as their right back took an early bath I'd have swapped Lennon and Bentley over personally..
