MaguireSilver Fox It was all a bit rubbish really wasn't it? I'm a bit surprised (not really, regular h8rs) with the Heskey beef, the consensus around us was that he was one of the few to put in at least a few ounces of effort, unfortunately as his role is to hold up the ball for Rooney, who was totally uninterested, even his best game will do nothing. Were I capello i'd have taken rooney off for Defoe, but that was never going to happen was it? Noone in midfield gets any credit, although you've got to feel for lennon, who wasn't too dreadful but getting subbed for SWP has to sting, the little fella was dreadful. Another Lampard no show was to be expected but to be disappointed in Gerrard was a shame, he was clearly puttng in some serious effort, but nothing was going right at all
Can't believe Heskey got given 3/10 in the times - at least he was working hard, tracking back, winning ball and holding it up okay. Rooney got 4/10 and I doubt he's ever played worse.
Just picking on an easy target IMHO.
Fully agree. There is no way that Heskey should have been marked that low, particularly when you look at the utterly shyte performances from so many of the other players. At least Heskey fought like he wanted it. At one point, he even came back into his own area to recover possession.
