Does it have to be ingrained into your heads? Defoe didn't get a single sniff ALL game against the tall German defenders, he was woeful. If any of you reply to this with anything like "yeah well Heskey's hardly gonna score is he"? You have ONCE AGAIN missed the point by 400 miles.

hold a mirror up son.

In the premiership, the most potent strikeforce was Crouch and Defoe, yet not once in this campaign, even when we needed goals did he bring them on together.

To bring Heskey on today was just madness.....that at the time was not what we wanted. If the commentators, managers like Redknapp, panel of shearer, etc all said that heskey was mistifying, then do you not think in that MONUMENTALLY pea size brain you have that maybe they are right? I think you have been watching too much third division shit and havent a clue.

Just a thought....like

well perhaps express an opinion and then tries to disprove it with supposed facts?

or maybe its just me

2 points. First, he hasn't expressed an opinion and then tried to disprove it with "supposed" facts.

Secondly, do you honestly think an anorak is someone who has an informed opinion with facts and figures to back it up? I find it refreshing. Makes a change from the usual claptrap on here. Shows up the bullshit merchants for what they are.

It's all about opinions, though, innit?

You are 100% correct! :thumbsup:

A. Neither striker was playing well. Rooney has a better history with Heskey

B. Crouch has never scored for england coming off the bench.

Just giving another view point.

How many world cup goals had Rooney scored playing alongside Heskey?

- Surely a more mobile striker was needed rather than Heskey, who couldn't outpace anyone and has a poor scoring record.

Its pointless blaming the forward partnership though, there were problems throughout the side, such as:

-Questions about who the starting goalkeeper should be, and Rob Green making a stupid mistake didn't help.
-a central defensive pairing which kept changing, Terry playing on the wrong side and getting caught out of position too often (something he's used to but normally only with teammates wags)
-Our fall backs both going too high up the pitch, making the side stretched and leaving too much free space for a counter attack.
-Gerrard playing out left without the discipline needed to stay out wide, he kept drifting in and even turned up on the opposite flank at one stage, meaning when we were looking to lay it off out wide, we couldn't and as a result we played too narrowly and limited the space we had to use.
-Barry failing to carry out a defensive midfielders role vs the germans, like our defenders, he was found to be too high up the pitch to help break up or slow down German attacks and allow players to get back.
And so on.

It would appear that this FACT needs to be ingrained into YOUR head.

The same as he has scored playing alongside Defoe and Crouch. So you then move to the next level - all goals scored playing for England outside of the world cup.

Its pointless blaming the forward partnership though, there were problems throughout the side, such as:

Yup. At least, solely blaming them. I imagine the criticism will largely follow club lines, i.e. man utd fans will defend rooney blame the others; liverpool fans defend gerrard, caragher, johnson; chelsea fans defend terry, cole, cole and lampard, and so on. There will be plenty of criticism to go round.

It isn't me that's out of step Sarn't Major .... it's the rest of the Regiment?

99% of the English Footballing public think Heskey does not warrant a place in the side, but the other 1% bizarrely think nobody but them understands football?

Take up a different sport Mellotron .... it isn't the 99% who are monumentally thick.

A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it. - David Stevens

Just because 99% of the public think heskey shouldn't be in the team, doesn't mean they're right.

Do you:

A. Bring the better of your two strikers, Defoe, off to make way for EMILE HESKEY

B. Sub the worse of your two strikers, Rooney, off to make way for Crouch who has played ALL SEASON alongside defoe getting to FOURTH PLACE in the league with TOTTENHAM

COMMON SENSE FABIO FFS

Everyone in England knew that is what should happen. Heskey has been poor in every game and Rooney has been worse.
