Not at all, sidekick.

Every thread I see you on, someone's making a fool out of you.

Not your fault though. Idiocy has it's effects on people.

Mafia,

Heskey 6 goals in 26 games(mostly as a sub)

2metre Peter 11 goals in 46 games

==================================

Where do you get your stats from:



Their international records (which is the point of discussion) are as follows:

Heskey = 62 Apps, 7 goals (11% ratio)
Crouch = 42 Apps, 22 goals (52% ratio)

So, as I said to ..Dubbed before, this is quite a big difference, so why would anyone go for Heskey over Crouch?

For the record, I didn’t suggest we should play Crouch, my point was just that Capello didn’t know what he was doing managing English players.



As for .. Dubbed, I never said I think Harry is better or worse than Capello. I just said that there is no proof that Capello would be better than any current manager in charge of a team in the EPL. Certainly not when we take into account what we know about Capello, and that was that he considered a midfield of Lampard, Gerrard.., Milner & Barry to be the best option available. And Heskey in the top 2 strikers, when we all know they’re not.

Also Dubbed, I never said England are a technically gifted side (another lie..), I simply said (please re-read) that anyone who considered Upson & Heskey to be the best England have got in their respective positions, has no idea how to manage an England national team. Bobby Robson would be turning in his grave at the thought.

What have you got to say about the fact I have proved both of you’s wrong over your made up stats?

So, Cappello disregarded all the work Heskey done in the league and considered Crouch's terrific goals against Andorra, Belarus and Macedonia..

Maf,

You didn't read my post (again ).

I didnt suggest Capello should have played Crouch over Heskey. I just sugested that anyone who considers Heskey good enough to play for his country, clearly doesnt have knowledge of that country's talent. Hence Heskey cant even get offered a contract at Villa.

For the record, a 52% goal ratio at any level, let-alone at international level is quite phenomenal. Anyone who says any different is either a , is Mafia or is ..Dubbed.

Maf .

Sad sad SAD act!

posted on 8/5/12

Come on Maf, do you think Heskey is a better striker than Crouch, Bent & Zamora?

posted on 8/5/12

You're separating trash. All of them are dross, that's my point.

They wouldn't add anything either way.

Dubbed,

We'll take that as an admission you were wrong then.

What a playground reply that was.

posted on 9/5/12

Heskey is/was an experienced player..

posted on 9/5/12

Are you saying that Zamora (31), Crouch (31) & Bent (28) are not "experienced" players?

posted on 9/5/12

No.. not at International stage..

posted on 9/5/12

Maf,

Are you saying then, that all international players should be over 31?

posted on 9/5/12

I was talking about the experience..

Anyway, what Bent and Zamora (in 2010) have done more than Heskey..

And as Dubbed asked, name a world class player that Capello left out or overlooked.

posted on 9/5/12

I was talking about the experience

====================

So, you think international managers should only pick players with international experience?

How the hell can players get experience if the managers only pick players who have already played?



You haven't thought this point through at all have you?



As for class players we didnt use. It wasn't so much the class of player that was missing, it was the balance (or lack of) he didnt seem to grasp.

No-one with an ounce of footballing knowledge would play 4 central midfielders across the England midfield, especially as it has been widely know for years & years ..that 2 of them have never been able to play with eachother.

Who in their right mind would have taken Heskey over Bent, who (if we use YOUR point re stats) scored 24 goals in the season 2009-2010, where Heskey only scored 24 from 2006 - 2012.

Ps. Over the same period, Crouch scored over 50.

And you listen to Dubbed about Heskey being the right choice .

I'm not claiming England to be world beaters, but using Upson, Heskey, Gerrard & Lampard in the same team is never going to work. Anyone can see that.
