Probably more a sign of McLaren's desperation than Heskey's ability.

I thought he got a bit of a hard time and is actually a very good partner for Owen, who will the score the goals we need (hopefully!!!) because of Ivanhoe's suport play.
Like I said on the other thread (which I started first, but didn't name properly, ahem ahem)... Owen & Heskey WORKS.

A different kind of pasty
After yesterdays performance Big Bad Baz would be a better idea than Heskey

But to be fair, as I mentioned, I didn't exactly name the thread properly... My fault entirely!

It's just some people can't see how Heskey can play well if he doesn't score, which is very short sighted.

What is all this about him being brilliant this season that i keep hearing? Have we suddenly become Wigan season ticket holders?
If people like Jermaine Jenas, Alan Smith, Kieron Richardson, Wes Brown, Andy Johnson, Ashley Young and David Nugent get call-ups it's only fair that someone like Heskey gets a chance; it's not like we can do any worse that we are at present. He may be a poor man's Bas Savage, but Heskey is worth a punt

Owen scores twice for Newcastle..Heskey manages to stand up for two minutes for Wigan...all we need now is Phil Neville to put in a claim, and we are back to the glory days.

Heskey is the name of my friend's old blind cat. Nuff said.

Little bit harsh, Heskey has been playing very well of late including last season.
I think what his recall demonstrates more than anything is the total failure of any of the fringe striking candidates to seize the opportunity and make the place theirs.
Rooney's out, Owen's been out. With the players injured, suspended, or rusty, if Defoe/Bent/Johnson were banging the goals in, or had been towards the end of last season, they'd make McClaren's like a lot easier and stake a claim for years to come. But they haven't.
I thought Andy Johnson might be the answer, especially when Owen was out - but he's hardly scored any since last Christmas, they were mostly all at the start.

Who anyone pulled out injured then?

I gather Gingerminge was at the Newcastle v Wigan game yesterday. I think we should all just be grateful that Bramble hasn't been drafted in.

Does that mean none of the strikers have pulled out.
So he has added him to the squad merely on the strength of that one performance? Friday, he didn't think he was good enough, and after that performance on Saturday he thought, "Yep, he's got to be in my squad."
The guy just doesn't know what he's doing?
Wait an hour or so, and we'll find out whether he was watching the live game this afternoon "Zat Knight drafted in as a STRIKER - shock!"

Well, look at it this way. At least the qualifying group has a scary, exciting look about it. Israel could have been quite routine, but now I will be CACKING myself watching it.

get the f***ing clown out now, and get down and beg O'Neill or Allardyce to reconsider
