Yup, fair enough - that's why I said it would probably be the wrong thing to do.
I just feel Beckham doesn't contribute that much to the game. We rely too heavily on him, and as we have very little going down the left, we need to get some width somehow. It was no co-incidence that as soon as Lennon came on the game opened up. It doesn't help that Sven simply refuses to drop Beckham, save for injury, no matter what other options there are.
I am a bit biased though anyway - I've been biggin up Lennon since 2002
