With Finnan behind him, the right flank is beginning to look good. Left flank was also improving till Aurelio got hurt.

pennant is not a speed demon??? his 1st step is exceedingly fast... such skills r god-given, cannot be learned. comparable to a certain luis figo, old man but still beating younger players on the flanks due to his extraordinary quick 1st step. his crosses r getting better though, but the most comforting thing is that he is beginning to pose a threat to the opposing defences, terrorising them, making them panic. n he is combining well with finnan and arbeloa when he plays on the right, so all in all, he is one for the future in my books. have to agree that he needs to burst into the box to a more central position to make himself more of a scoring threat, instead of hugging the right flank most of the time...
