The Problem with Lee Chung-Yong

There wasn`t much to write about regarding Bolton`s defeat at Liverpool. Perform fairly well in the first half. Concede a rubbish goal. Don`t turn up for the second half. End of summary.

But there was one bright spot, especially in the opening period, and that was Lee Chung-Yong. He was unlucky not to score after a fine run from the centre line and was only thwarted by a combination of alert goalkeeping and a clearance off the line.

Those few seconds were further proof of the Korean`s growing confidence in the English game. He deserves much credit for his efforts so far. Lee has had to learn a new language, cope with being thousands of miles away from home and adapt to a higher standard of football. He`s not the finished product, but the project is progressing nicely.

There`s just one problem. You have to give credit to Gary Megson for signing him. Somehow, this just doesn`t feel right. If anyone can suggest a solution to this unsavoury situation please let us know.
