Put the ball at Bent's feet, facing goal and he'll knock the ball in the back of the net.
The problem is that whilst he's a good finisher, he's not a good footballer. Aerial ability? No. Passing? No. Heading? No. Crossing? No. Good movement? No. Long range shooting? No. He doesn't do enough for the team to justify his place. Nor does he have the ability to change a game on his own. There's too many games where he's completely anonymous. He's too easy to defend against (unless you're Bolton).
Pav has had a slow start but every time I see him, I like him more. He's got a good all-round game and his link-up play with Defoe was incredibly good. I can see him partnering Keane very well too.
