...and the one or two saves that he make wasn't really anything challenging, yet they biggin' him up like if he put in a performance akin to what the South African and Nigerian 'keepers did against their respective opponents.
onyewu is and always been a fair defender that uses more physicality than anything else (he's a thug) as far as I'm concerned. heskey was supposed to retaliate and step on he toes throughout the game. For REAL.
Only people bigging him up is Harkes and Lalas... big surprises there. He did what he was supposed tuh do. Lampard test him from far... but any pro supposed tuh be able to palm that over the top as he did. That Brazilian ref allow Onyewu tuh ride up Heskey spine whole game, but it shows how strong Heskey is... he held his ground and held up the ball well. Let that have been ah Argentinian or ah Mexican and they woulda fall down grabbing they back long time.
Lennon did well early, but reverted to his clueless Theo Walcott alter ego in the second half. Dribble... dribble... pass to no one in particular.
SWP come on and add pace but was ineffective... over dribbling or playing to the strength of the defense, drive to the corner/endline and turn it over.
