I actually thought he was pretty good today to be fair to him. I think I'm now firmly of the belief that if it's a choice between Zokora and Huddlestone then it would be Zokora every time.
It's a shame we're having to debate between such poor players though.
I thought he did pretty well today also, until the last 30 mins, when we really needed something from our midfield and they both went missing. I flew back from the US on Wednesday and during the flight I did actually think that Zokora could be useful to us, if we were to move Steed into CM. I'd then play Bale on the left and JJ on the right. Essentially we'd play as a 4312. I just think we can't play Steed on the left or right as he is so wasted there. He is a really talented player, but is only really effective in the middle. He has a good game, like he did today, every now and again, but in general I don't like him in wide positions. However, if he is to play in the middle, then i don't think we can afford to have Lennon in the same team. When Lennon plays on the right we almost play as a 433, so if we had Steed as an attacking CM, we'd be very exposed.
