Left wing?

This season we've used Aurelio, Riise, Gonzalez and even little Luis on the left wing and I guess Kewell would be in with a shout if he was fit as well. I know Riise's injury problems have probably sparked some of the rotation in our left side but it can't only be that, there must be other explanations to it.

 

Is Rafa in doubt as to who's the best suited for our left wing?

Is it just a matter of using the player who's 110% ready (squad rotation)?

Is Rafa using different players because of their individual strengths, looking at the opposition as well?

 

What do you reckon and who would you play out wide if you had to chose?

I'd be happy if we even used our wingers properly in a game :angry:

 

Hate to see this narrow method of play where the frontmen just end up running into defenders and losing possession. We've got seriously pacey wingers on both sides (Gonzales and Pennant would be my choice), so we really should be using them as much as possible and whipping balls into the box.

We've also used Zenden there too.

 

I'd go with Gonzalez. He's likely to be our long term LW and most suited to that role. Plus he's shown great ability there in Spain and for Chile and needs to get a run of games going to get use to teh Premiership. Once Kewell is fit I'd imagine he'd be pushed quite hard to start unless he's shown exceptional form, so for me it's Gonzalez til Kewell is fit and then make another decision based on form/fitness.

I think Kewell would be more than in with a shout, I'd say he's still first choice.

I'm not so sure about that. There have been hints in the Echo that Rafa is willing to let him go if a reasonable offer comes in.

We miss the Kewell we saw against Chelsea especially, but I cannot see a way back for him into the side after all these injuries. He's still under diagnosis in Oz isn't he ? I just don't think he's gonna reach the form he showed for Leeds or us in the first 4-5 months with us.

 

I haven't seen enough of Gonzalez to judge, but from what I've seen of Aurelio he looks very awkward going forward - looks more of a defender to me.

We need at least one out and out winger on the pitch, so we should never play Garcia and Gerrard on the flanks in the same game.

 

Depending on where Gerrard is playing, we need either Pennant or Gonzalez on the pitch for me.

 

I want to see more of Gonzalez, as he could be very good, but he just hasn't had enough time to adjust and show us what he can do yet.

 

I agree that Riise and Aurelio are not really out and out left wingers. options.

We definately miss Harry. His critics will say he didnt score enough last year but he played 40 games as a true LW because we had SG as RW with a license. This meant Harry rarely found himself in a scoring position but he contributed to our lead up play all year.

 

Unfortunately as soon as Harry puts in 100% he breaks down and the Chelsea FA cup Semi is a perfect example. He was at his best in that game and showed what he is capable of. Unfortunately he broke down again and it is now clear if he does not find a cure he is a great squad player only, not the star he should be.

i think gonzalez needs a bit of a run of games there to get settled into it.

 

I completely agree. I get the sense that Rafa doesn't fully trust him yet- unless I'm mistaken, he's only started 1 competitive game for us so far. I would really like to see him start several games in a row to help him settle faster. Although he's only shown flashes so far, as we saw from his performances in Spain last season, he'll be able to do a job on the left for us.

We bought the flaming wingers - we should play them both, to get them match fit and settled in, and get the forwards used to the service

 

And stop playing Zenden in CM! :angry: HE's not a CMer, and he's not a CMer of sufficient quality to play for LFC.

As long as Bellamy plays whether its out wide or upfront he'll cause chelsea problems ....my biggest worry is that bellamy won't play but I just can't see that happening. He's due to score as is kuyt .
