Quote from: KRS on September 26, 2010, 08:34:23 PMI'm one of Emules biggest critics...but fairplay to him. Hes pretty much changed and won us the last 2 games under GH with his contributions. Still looked like he lacked confidence in post game interview but its almost like watching a different player on the pitch. Is this down to him being provided some service in decent areas, being used as an attacking centre forward rather than a "defensive forward"...or GH bit of je ne sais quoi. Whatever it is, long may it continue.And then maybe will stop calling him emule.

He looks a lot fitter this season too, which might be part of his upturn in form. Doesn't look as if he's carrying niggles. Early last season he looked heavier than usual too. Now he's got some pace back, and is brimming with confidence on the pitch. I hope he keeps this up, I really do.

Houllier went against conventional wisdom by starting Heskey - and the gamble paid off. I'd personally like top see Heskey become the captain and bench Petrov. You've mentioned that in two threads.On what basis would you like to see a player who has struggled to get into the side fullstop actually made captain - with the inference being that he'd obviously be much harder to drop?Genuine question, what do you see in him that makes him captain material?If we're going for leftfield picks I'd go Ashley Young.Our best player and a winner. People slate him for the moaning and gesturing at referees. But he's pretty much the only player in our side that does it.Man U have turned it into an art form and Chelsea have plenty of it too with the likes of Terry, Cole, Drogba and co. It's not pretty to look at and I hate it when the above do it. But they do it because they hate losing, and will turn any situation they can to their advantage. As a team we're too nice. A few more players like Ash who berate referees for crap decisions would probably benefit us more than getting Ash to reign it in.Take the Vienna game at home as an example. First penalty decision gets turned down, Ash gets on refs case and you pretty much knew any 50/50 decision in similar circumstances next time would go our way. It has an effect, that type of pressure. Maybe it shouldn't but it does.The best teams maximise it. Teams on the end of it or not capable of doing it themselves console themselves with being sporting losers. But that's what they tend to be more often than not - losers. Funny that.

Watching MOTD 2 it was Heskey's run that set up Albrighton to cross for the first goal.
