When Heskey is GONE, there will be no target man for the midfield to hit the ball to.
Since Heskey often head the ball into the opponents or losing the ball, he is not really as effective as a target man.
The rest of the Premier League Team already know this point and they alway assign a player to leech on Heskey and fustrate him.
So, when Heskey is gone, the Liverpool midfield will be forced to move the ball themselves to the six yard box instead of deploying the LAZY long ball to DONKEY tactics.
I feel that most of the time the midfield are slack, creating a hole in midfield and stressing the Liverpool's defence.
Yes, Heskey is in GH's plan.
But, sly GH never stated what "plan" Heskey is in.
The answer is "transfer" plan
