Bjorn has a point...apart from the goal, we had absolutely no penetration down the wings today, and this wasn't the first time. In the first half, we seemed to have one defensive midfielder (Keano) and three central midfielders (Veron, Giggsy and Becks). Which played perfectly into Bolton's three-man central defence. That French right-sided player, Mendy, was able to cause so much trouble as a wingback because he had absolutely no need to worry defensively.
