KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Michael Owen v Emile Heskey

we have to give them a chance to show they are good enough - the same way we did with owen, fowler, macca, carra etc in the past - insua has stepped up and looked the part, el zhar has been our best player on the right this season (and should defo get more playing time imo rather than that waste of space yossi)
playing kids can be a boost to the side as well - it can be used to step up the game of the senior pros like it always used to be at liverpool
at one time the pros had to play well to keep their place coz otherwise they knew they would be sat watching while one of the kids was playing - now they know they are safe till the next transfer window because none of the kids are gonna nick their speck!
five min at the end of a match is not enough to get match experience from - they need more than that, a lot more

personally i do yes ...... they have a lot more to play for than either heskey or owen as they have everything to prove ..... heskey has already shown he is not confident enough in his own ability to be a top class player for liverpool and owen spends far too much time crocked to waste 90k a week on + whatever the cost of the transfer is
