Zenden - Short term solution to the rw?

What do you think?
My view was that, he is clearly short of pace, and therefore rarely has the pace to get past the full back and to the byeline to cross the ball, so his only realistic option is to cross from deep.
As that stands, we all know his right foot isn't brilliant, but because he cant get to the byeline, a good right foot isn't essential. And as he has been crossing from deep this season, it will be easy for him to cut in, onto his left and whip in an inswinging cross, which is always difficult for goalies to handle.

He was player of the season last year at Boro but played in a more central role.
No RW but he's still a good player but where do you fit him in in the middle ?
I'll never wait for Ned Kelly to "come good" - no heart, no bottle,and often, no interest

Garcia???
Yeah, it's great when he scores the odd wonder goal, but he drifts inside to frequently, his first touch is terrible and he gives the ball away far too easily.

No he isn't.
I agree with st mick Kewell might be good down that side.
Then Garcia can play more centrally

I'm sorry,
But i personally would be disappointed if Benitez persists with Garcia on the right, when it is clear he doesn't know the first thing about playing as a winger..

as i have said before, i am hoping to see kewell on the right for us this season.
he had a few great games for us there in his first season. he can get crosses in with his right foot as well as his left. plus he can cut inside and curl a few shots in the top corner. the goal against levski sofia comes to mind in the UEFA cup.

Yup Kewells better on the right, wudnt be good to play zenden out of position. Hopfully we can get mark gonzalez in as soon as possible so that we wont have a problem there.
