Ok England go into this weeks World Cup qualifiers with Kazakhstan and Andorra. The question I have is who do you think should partner Rooney (a given I feel) up front.
Rooney seems to play better with a large target man and in my opinion I would have Crouch, as he does all the knock downs etc. but also weighs in with a few goals himself.
Crouch is tall, but he isn't good at headers at all. He is only good at header tap-ins. So I will choose Heskey as he is a good striker, he has composure
True.... I think Charlton Cole is really finding his form.... He playes really well and can score goals.... Hopefully he can do that in the England squad as well....
England need players who score at a good rate heskey I guess he scored after 3 yrs crouch may have scored lately but owen is only english striker with better strike rate(may be ronney will achieve it)
Like who, Owen! Lol he's getting up there in age, and Agbonglahor has been off form lately. And they are for sure not going to take someone from the U-21 roster
Rooney has recently played more of a Center Forward role at Manu (when he's not out wide), so I'd say heskey, 'cause he's faster and would be better to run off the ball
Crouch isn't THAT good at headers skill wise, he is just plain tall, he is good at getting the ball down for assists bt that's about it imo, Hesley just breaks up the play from his sheer size and gets assits, so their both useless, Just give Carol/Bent/Sturridge a chance
Crouch occasionally scores with a great header. However his overall game is too poor. In our last friendly in South Africa the other day he was simply horrible
