Re: World Cup 2010
Cole is a poor man's Crouch and right now, Zamora is better at Heskey's role than Heskey is.Originally Posted by ono
Sometimes i think people don't realise how much the game has changed and how important a player like Cole or Heskey can be, due to their ability to hold up the ball and bring others into play. Cole's all round game is better than Defoe's (although Defoe is improving) and Gabby's, as is Heskey's and that's why he'll start alongside Rooney.You no I love you Lefty but that has to be some sort of joke??
Right now, I'll take Zamora over Cole or Heskey as a target/holding forward.
If you don't watch Fulham much, you might not realize how good he has been this year. He's not well like and he's coming off two down years. His goals were he didn't score much last year, but he did the "holding up the ball" job well enough for Dempsey, Johnson, and Murphy to score enough to make Europa. This year, he's done target job even better and become a scoring threat again. He's produced in the Europa.
The Numbers:
Heskey: 21 Starts, 11 Sub, 5 Goal/2 Assists (2 goals in the Carling Cup)
Cole: 23 Starts, 4 Sub, 9 Goals/2 Assists
Zamora: LEAGUE - 27 Starts, 8 Goals/4 Assists.
FA CUP - 4 Starts, 3 Goals.
Europa - 11 Starts, 1 Sub, 6 Goals/2 Assists.
The Highlights:
Against Wolfsburg, holding and passing:

Against Wolfsburg, taking a long ball, holding, an finishing himself:

If you want a target, I'm sure what more you want than this performance against Juventus:

I would think Capello would want to go with the guy who is playing the best right now.
