I know Monty, it's just Villanation seems to want to discredit his achievements as they were achieved as part of a 'team', in an effort to back up his point.
You're both right though, of course, because in that team and at that time he was clearly able to contribute a lot. Right now, though, I don't think the same applies.
I'm not his biggest fan by any stretch, but I think it's interesting that O'Neill *spits*, Houllier and now McLeish don't seem to agree with that.
True, though it's notable that Heskey was dropped to the bench largely after Bent was bought. It appears that Houllier regarded him as a squad player more than a definite starter.
I think he mugged himself getting sent off against Sunderland. That 3 game ban came as we signed Bent, our form picked up and he was out in the cold.
Oh yeah, thats the game where he hit the bar from two yards and got himself sent off for acting the ******. Still, as long as he works hard and holds the ball up, eh...
