Becks has been our best player 'cept Joey C, so it would be a tad mental to drop him- and I hate Becks remember.

agreed that lennon is the perfect antidote for an underperforming midfield, but you can't start with him.

yep, gotta have becks in there.

he's been utter pap for england since greece but he's actually got some fitness now and looks more like his old self. you also lose his set-piece deliveries (possibly our most dangerous position at the moment) which are essential.

and whilst lennon looks a decent prospect i don't think he'd be too much trouble for a left back at this stage. all he's really got is pace, little skill (hence why he always just knocks it wide and runs on) - so is ideal to bring on in the last 20 minutes.


The thing with having Lennon on the pitch though is that he forces chances by taking the game to the oppostition, having Becks on just to rely on his set-pieces is daft.  Yes he's the best at it, but who's to say we're always going to get the dangerous positions from free-kicks in order for it to pay dividens?

With the players available to us in midfield we should be dominating games but it's not, so giving something alse a go might work, if it doesn't then it might at least give Becks the kick up the arse he deserves.


Exactly and with the whole 'flooding the midfield' idea that will probably happen this would be even more true.
