He looked in the same class as Peltier, and Paletta last night, inexperienced.
Not just about last nights game nearly every game he has played so far this season.
For his price tag should we have payed that few million more for Alves?
Or put in a 10 million pound bid for Aaron Lennon who is making Pennant look ordinary.
He has prem experience but to watch him you would'nt think so, with rafa saying the other day he has had a word and expects more from him, to be selfish and beat his man, these words didnt obviously work.
I thought he was woeful last night and after 60 mins seemed knackerd and was just walking around.
I expected so much more from him seen as he used to rip teams apart on the wing for Birmingham, but so far we havent seen any of it.
I know he is new and its a big club but he was at Arsenal so there should be no excuse.
I hope he proves me wrong and goes on to be as good if not better than Giggs has been for United but so far what we have witnessed I doubt it.
Thoughts please.

The guy obviously has got a lot of abilty, he just needs to apply himself more. Garcia makes loads of mistakes in games but his head never go's down, and he's not afraid to try another trick or dribble 2 mins later, Pennant should be the same.
On a side note i think it's hillarious that Pennant gets his own thread for his dissapointing performances when at least he has a few assists to his name, while Craig Bellamy who has quite frankly been abysmal since he has joined us gets away with it, at least Pennant has abilty i cant for the life of me see why people have so much faith in Bellamy, no touch, skill, passing, crossing or finishing ability! he has exceptional pace and workrate but is that enough to make you a Liverpool player, i dont think so IMO.

Bellamy hasn't hit form yet...but he's no way our worst striker.
