Now i honestly believe we could scrap all our strikers and start again. But everyone writing off our best and proven striker that we have at the moment seems strange to me.

I think Gabby has contributed far more to the team, goals and workrate, than Carew ever has done.  So i wouldn't say he has been our most proven striker at all.

Carew played 133 score 37

A goal every 3.5 games.

Eh???

Carew played 116 games scored 48 goals according to wiki.

So I think Carew needs abit more credit and respect.

Heskey is getting lots of encouragement by a manager who is treating  Carew the same way he did before he turned out 4 good years for Aston Villa, he hasn't really had a look in since Houllier arrived. As I said a month or so ago i think Carew will be important for us this season.

Would be lovely if one of Carew's final acts would be to put SHA out of the cup!

I'll never forget his performances in the 5-1, away at the Albion in 2008-2009 and at Old Trafford in 2009. On his day he's been unplayable and up their with the best strikers I've seen at Villa Park. Though I only really have Yorkie and Deano to compare him too!

Problem is his day comes around once in a blue moon.  If he was capable of being consistent, i'm not sure we'd have got him in the first place.

carews goals per game is slightly better and thats what strikers goal should be. Hence why i hate heskey.

Gabby could easily score more! if he didnt think he was a winger and got in the box more.
