25 minutes still no touch by Bent

[The Swan]

Great starting line up.Bad defending by Hangeland for Palace goal. What a goal by Kasami. Bent is not in the game at all. 25 minutes gone and he has not touched the ball yet. He should be replaced soon but I don't know by whom.

32 MIN, 1 EFFORT ON GOAL THANFULLY A BELTER. BENT NOT TOUCHED THE BALL
BECAUSE WE AINT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET IT INTO HIM AS YET

[Craven Mad]

Agreed. He's currently contributed nothing. The only reason I'd support the decision to leave him on, is that he's the sort of striker that 'takes his chances', he doesn't need to be on the ball all the time. He just needs that one chance.

But tactically, it is like having ten on the pitch. At least Kasami is playing for two!

Problem is that Berbatov is substitute material as well. An ageing Karagounis on just to mess up their midfield build up might work some space for Bent or the ageing Duff to supply an occasional cross?
I hope Kaca has a twinge or something and Dejagah has had a hair nightmare otherwise Jol has applied little thought to options B,C and D.
