GFZ’s Balancing Conundrum

After struggling for most of the season to find a proper fit striker, Zola now faces a manager’s quandary ahead of today's trip to Burnley.

Carlton Cole, Mido and Benni McCarthy are all fit, the later two having both signed last day of the window and are now competing for a starting berth with Carlton the-back-pass Cole.

Zola said “We know Benni and Mido have been a surprise for us but Carlton is working very hard and he wants to prove himself, he has started with a perfect attitude which is very important. He knows that everything he desires he will have to work hard for.”

GFZ went on to say – and quite remarkably is now talking about balance, yeah NOW he talks about BALANCE…
“We want to score more goals but at the same time I want to keep a balance. I would like be a bit more prolific in front of goal and since Chelsea we have been very difficult to score against.
