This guy just looks like the new heskey to me.
hope he leaves sooner rather than later.

he played 1 sh1t match against spurs and he's head is already being called for. he looked very promisin last year and scored some good goals. just give him a chance. we're all entitled to an off-day or two

i think pongolle is the most suitable replacement of owen since i know he's the little giant killer who can adapt the liverpool football style but he's still young and lack of experinces.

it's nice to see him on the field. why not we loan him out to let him gain more useful lesson in other team such like the gunners's jermaine pennant?

Heskey was a one-off, one-off because he was such a big flop considering his transfer cost to Liverpool yet strangely played in a large number of matches.

Pongolle is still very young and has shows good performances last year. We should give him a bit more exposure before calling him another heskey.

We couldn't loan him out because then we'd only have two strikers. Its also more than a little unfair to call him the 'new heskey' after just 1 bad game in the entire season

There'll be no other Heskey under Rafa. Pongolle was a talented youngster when we brought him in and he will establish under Rafa, I believe. GH is famous for his capability in converting certain players into 'pigmies'.

On the floor Pongolle looks a good future prospect but he's too small against big EPL defenders

I hope he gets a few goals this season to boost his confidence

I think if cisse played with pongolle we might see a big diffrence ok he might be small for the EPL deffenders but he can also run rings round them he played well last year what we seen of him with the right nurturing he could become a big hit for us and we cant loan him out we would have no one left an reports in the paper this morning looks like Raffas run out of cash so we wont be gettin anyone new till january his main worry is the defence if any area need sorting out its this one and i dont think Raffa was a happy chappy with the defence on saturday ok it was only man city but imagine arsenal we would be destroyed i love carra but i think his bottle goes a bit escpecially when we play arsenal we need it sorting out if we have got any chance of achieving anything this season i agree to sell traore to everton but finnan im not to sure about so maybe get a good defender on the cheap surely in div1 there must be 1 good one that would relish playin for us and wouldnt be that expensive.
oh and btw we got a spanish ref tonight from real sociedad lets hope he gives a lot of desisions our way and not to the opposition :;):

Pongolle is a very promising youngster and some of you are being too critical. He got us so many penalty kick last season and was very effective. He got speed and skill. Just look at the defender reaction when he has the ball, they never stay too close because scare of his first step. Pongolle would become a very good player for LFC. Maybe some of you should watch more football to know better.

Totally disagree mate, yes Pongolle is small but that is only a problem if you bang balls up to him like he's Jan Koller ! Owen was not exactly a giant, and the best ever player in epl (Henry aside) was Zola, and he was tiny.

Another idiotic post by DAV.

I'd take an on form Owen ahead of anyone.

by **Red_Si** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 10:31 am

Yes, give the kid a chance. Pongolle is a fast, skilfull player.
Heskey was just a big, lumbering oaf and one of the clumsiest Premiership players ever.

by **Paul C** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 10:56 am

i think Pongolle would be far more effective if he didn't play so deep, get the lad in the box and I think he'd bang them in for fun.
