The last two games he has been up against Clichey who for my reckoning is along with Ashley Cole the best left back in the league and Vidic yesterday who maybe is pound for pound the best centre half in the world.
I thought his goal and set up in the second half against Arsenal really papered over what was a poor performance against Arsenal. Yesterday he got no change what so ever out of Vidic and was part of the side of the pitch where we got absouletly roasted. Any oppostion manager watching that match will now be pin pointing him and Richards as our weak link.
Are we seeing the reason that more that one Chelsea manager just didnt fancy him? Chelsea are a side that fight on all fronts at the highest level and not just good performances against weaker sides are good enough. Are we seeing the reason that Sven didn't take him to a World Cup? Are we seeing the reason why Capello continues to pick a 35 year old has been in his postion and now it seems prefers Lennon. Make no bones about it if I was SWP I'd be concerned about missing out on another WC.
This is not a 'id drive SWP to Wigan myself' type thread I love watching him play when he's on form. I love his commitment and work rate in a blue jersey. I love that he plays with a smile on his face when he plays for us. However when Robinho is fully fit someone will eventually have to make way and on this form it isnt going to Bellamy.
