This is who have come to city this season and gone home with 0 points. blackburn would have and maybe should have been on that list if it wasn't for that controversial goal. we went there, controlled the large majority of the game and ok we didn't get the 3 points we may have liked but we got 1 point mroe then the above. if city defend that well against arsenal and chelsea they too will have a problem winning.

Our right side was non existent because it's benayoun's natural instinct to come infield and try and link up with the strikers.
I agree with what you say about Benayoun, but I honestly don't believe we will see Pennant and Kewell playing left and right wing together away from home. I think if Pennant plays you will see a left midfielder ( Aurelio/Riise/ Benayoun) rather than Kewell and when Kewell plays it will be a hard working right midfielder (Gerrard/Benayoun/Voronin/Kuyt)
The only time I can remember when we played two attacking real wingers was against Arsenal last season when we played Gonzo and Pennant, but with three in the middle (Gerrard /Mascherano/Alonso)
