At least with Zog and Ireland on the bench we have a couple of potential game changers. Makes a nice change...
Quote from: Compass on February 12, 2012, 03:29:47 PMWe deserve to lose by that lineup. It's anti-football. You don't start old man Heskey out of position over Ireland or N'Zogbia. Basically what McLeish is doing is he's putting his own personal problems before the club.What a ridiculous post. Man City are a big, physical side and he's in there to try to counter that. We improved last week when he came on.

Heskey is the least physical big man I've ever seen.Honestly, if we feel the need to field a non-scoring striker in midfield, then we really are a bit of a mess.
If we're talking about Heskey inproving us at Newcastle, we were best in the first half - he didn't come on till 25 odd minutes to go.
I just am staggered he's picked Heskey, I genuinely can't fathom it.
