commander Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I thought Heskey was our best player yesterday. Me too we looked fairly decent when he came on - he's no world beater but way better than people givr him credit for. i think Weimann looked a lot better when Heskey was on. gabby was poor and shouod be benched.

fightoffyour Posted April 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2012 We've all slagged Heskey off, but criticising his performance on Saturday? That's just ridiculous. He was good when he came on, linked up really well with Wiemann. It seemed to me that every ball up to him was succesfully flicked on to Wiemann, plus he put him through with a decent pass which should have at least resulted in a shot on target. I have no doubt that I'll be saying how crap he plays in one of his next appearances, but until then, I'd actually like to see him start with Wiemann because I'm sure that would lead to goals if they carried on where they left off against Sunderland.

fightoffyour Posted April 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2012 Plus the cheer when he came on was one of the highlights of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Only reason heskey looks like our best player is because he suits AM style of football, Long ball up to Heskey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Pesky is still one of the best headers of the ball in the Premier League.The reason he looks bad doing anything else is because McIdiot keeps starting him,I am sure everyone else in the Premier League knows that he is past his use by date and should only be used as a sub when a first team player has to come off ( I can see how that might be beyond McIdiot though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 1 league goal in 18 months, 9 league goals in total I have it as 3.5 years is roughly 182 weeks @ £65k a week + £3.5m fee means we've spent £15.3m on him, that's £1.7m per league goal and £1.09m per goal in all competitions safe to say it hasn't worked out for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 safe to say it hasn't worked out for himIt's worked out just fine for Emile. Bit shit for us though, thanks Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasley14 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Our best player today to be honest. He doesn't score but at least he helps us keep the ball with these terrible tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Our best player today to be honest. He doesn't score but at least he helps us keep the ball with these terrible tactics. I agree he was excellent. He stayed on about 10 minutes too long though as he was either **** or picked up an injury. It was plain for everyone to see that he needed replacing but it took 10 mins too long for the penny to drop for McLeish. First half he won everything in the air it was just a pretty that Wiemann kept straying off side. If he is fit I'd pay him up top on Saturday with Gabby up top alongside him. We need to go all out now and could do with Emiles experience and work rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Heskey will always be an enigma. Why couldn't he play like this more often for us? He looked worked up today and got stuck in for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hate to say it but if we're going down let's sign him back up, he'll be good for us in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 at 2-1 down his body language and movement was shocking.. really shocking infact. At one point he just stood there doing nothing, maybe he had an injury I don't know but it was really frustrating to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 He may have been good last night, but he won't score or create goals which is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 at 2-1 down his body language and movement was shocking.. really shocking infact. At one point he just stood there doing nothing, maybe he had an injury I don't know but it was really frustrating to see. He was clearly injured. Never recovered from the knock he got early in the second half which left him in a heap on the ground. Gosh he didn't half give it a go last night in the first half though. I said on the way to the match to a few people that we'd need someone to turn up in a big way to make a difference, either Zog or Ireland probably...but it was actually Heskey who did what I hoped someone would do. Not that it helped us in the end, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 He is **** Shit, don't judge him on 1 game.. How many goals has he got for a Stiker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'd start him again the weekend with Gabby and N'Zogbia either side of him in a 3. I would then play Herd, Warnock and Ireland (if fit) in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
