I think (maybe a little deluded) that scotland can beat Holland, the dutch have nothing to play for and with the fans in full voice Hampden isnt the most welcoming for away teams.

Green

Johnson

Cole

Upson

Terry

Gerrard

Wright-Phillips

Lampard

Barry

Heskey

Rooney,

England squad for tonight.

Standard 4-4-2 then.

Wish this game would bloody hurry up and kick off, im trying to get the first half in before work!!

Can someone tell me what Heskey has done to earn this start?

Presumably because he has certain skills and plays in such a way that the manager believes he will be beneficial to the team as a whole. After all it's a team game and the sum needs to be greater than the individual parts.

A better question might be why is Gerrard out on the left wing at least Heskey's playing in his best position.

I trust Rooney will be given a two match ban for that?

how dare you doubt Rooney's integrity!!!

i suppose you are the sort of person who believes Lennon 'accidently' headbutted Shearers foot too are'nt you? :angry:

I was kind of hoping for a simple, practical answer rather than a convoluted one that can be used for any player under the sun. For instance you could use that exact reason to answer your own question about Gerrard.

He should be. Appealing to the ref when you know you've not been fouled is cheating, even if the circumstances surrounding both him and the defender going down are a little bizarre.

It wasn't convoluted it was simple that is for the team I just felt the need to build it up a little :D . Besides when you ask a question that you know no one can realistically answer you should be pleased you even got a response :P

As for Gerrard that's completely different Heskey was playing in his best position where as Gerrard was not and therefore the benefit his presence in the team may have brought was significantly reduced. He hardly needed match practice so there was no reason what so ever to include him.
