You aren't welcome.

Heskey's class. He's the reason we won. End of.

Most really pulled their weight. Was really not happy with A.Cole in the first half though. Missed the 2nd so will reserve judgement on that.

Truth.

I sometimes wonder if it's just the pace of Cole that keeps him in the side.

I do like Bale and am impressed most times I watch him, but don't see him often enough to know yet tbh. Damn him being Welsh :dry:

He is an experienced player that could do the job. There was a time when people thought he'd end up being more than that, but now, he is what he is -- at best, a good Premier League striker. I don't see an awful lot wrong with him being in the squad.

Still early days, but I'm a little disappointed that Capello's falling for the same mistakes as McClaren did. I was hoping for a fresh approach -- giving youth a chance. Agbonlahor, Bentley, Ashley Young...they should be playing a bigger part.

Agreed though I think with Capello it might be more of a cultural thing. Having managed in Serie A for years on end.

Heskey shows a mature response to abuse:-

I remember when he was more regular in the side and everyone kept putting any dip of form down to "lack of confidence". That always seemed right, and clearly in recent times when he's been given another shot he's given it his best. But we can't forget how he was when he was low on that confidence and in a comfort zone.

No reason he shouldn't be there so long as he can stay consistent this time around.

What a player. No wonder Steve Bruce loves him so much.

Heskey is barely a footballer. He is a launch player, playing for a launch team who should spend out his career remainder chasing long balls into trenches at the JJB.

If we must play a launch player in the team to latch onto Rio's pumped upfield launches, then it should be Kevin Davies: a better finisher, harder worker, and stronger player than Heskey.

Heskey shows how fat can be turned into muscle.
His body shape is still that of a trapezium, except the long side is now at the top - muscular shoulders.

If only Brazil's Ronaldo had the same discipline.

It was reported about a month ago that Liverpool are interested in Zaki. What to believe? :gasp:

I hope Liverpool sign Heskey. A non-scoring striker is just what they need :yep:
