In my view he also chose the right moments to deliver the attacking passes, and didn't hesitate to play the simple ball when needed.He also seem very comfortable on the ball even under pressure.The way he quickly got over Johnsons headless studs-in-ankle assault was also appealing - do we have a hard man here?Maybe he was not pushing forward as much as Konchesky or McCartney would have, but did overlap a few times.I hope that this is enough for Zola because I haven't been so relaxed when watching a West Ham left back in a very long time.
