I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now that it does not make sense that James Brown and Heskey play in the same team. They perform a very similar function and it doesn't make sense to have two people on the field doing essentially the same job (although in somewhat different styles).
I could understand a Brown/Smeltz combination or a Heskey/Joel combination but not a Brown/Heskey combination.
Browns a waste of space at present. Don't quite see how Heskey is that bad ??
Not saying Heskey is bad at all. I just think we are unbalanced at the front. And I don't necessarily think a "no. 10" is the answer. After all, Heskey did his best work when he had Owen running off him.
Well that is the formation the Egg has us playing. Heskey ain't gonna get a strike partner up front come what may.
The Egg sticks to his pattern on this pretty solidly. Playing 2 up front in a standard strikeforce of yesteryear just will not happen.
Better get used to it and work out who we can get to do Browns job a bit better than he does
Or replace Heskey.
Sorry, just stirring the Heskey lovers.
Agree with this.
Playing the way we do I feel we do need a bloke to play up front to run in behind and stretch defences by playing on the last man's shoulder. Unfortunately Heskey don't play this way. Once the in behind threat came Brown Chilli Goody etc would offer more of a threat with the opponent having to worry about more about dropping in to cover the forward runs from us.
Bloke in my Avatar would have been perfect for this
Maybe we could have a front four of:
Virgilli.......Heskey......Goodwin
...............RyGriff
Playing Heskey behind Griff will be an unexpected ploy, and would allow Heskey to roam, while keeping a Striker at the point.
Won't happen though, can dream.

Not exactly the worst idea. Heskey has shown himself quite adapt at coming short controlling ball laying off to teammate. Also play him here he would be quite hard to mark. Assuming he had the fitness to make some late runs in the box would open up a world of possibilities particularly if GVE paired him with Taggz. Taggz would offer the in behind the line threat and Heskey would have a pile of room to play in
Yeah, forgot about Taggz. Push RyGriff to LW and Goodwin to LB. Would be perfect and would run rings around Sydney.

What spastic would put goodwin at left back? He's our best and most dangerous player coming forward in the attacking half as we saw smurfs hack him down all day as they couldnt contain him. And Biz is a pretty good keeper almost as good as Cov
Put him there so we can have RyGriff, Heskey, Taggz and Virgilli playing in the same team, without forcing a formation change.

Put it in the news thread but also kinda belongs here, Marcelo Fiorentini talking on his fb about a possible return soon.
can anyone believe that ruben zadkovich is our captain now?
No
Would also like to see Song return , chipping in with a decent number of goals at his current club.
For sure, one of my all time favourites! loved the guy!
Pretty sure u can forget about song coming back, he's debuted for South Korea recently and can't see playing in the a-league as a good platform for more national team appearances.
Would love gve to somehow unearth another gem from Asia tho
yeah? good on him. hope he goes on to bigger and better things (just not in games against the socceroos)
