It wasn't a dummy, the ball came from the left to the right, and Nando laid it back to the left in the middle of the pen box like a golf ball ready for Gerrard to ram it into the bottom corner.
Hallo, Morientes been there for half a season and you call him a flop? You must be looking for people who 1st season in EPL score 30 goals. Let me know when you find such a person. Even Pires was a nobody in his first EPL season and now he is undisputed as a top player in Arsenal's squad. I'm not saying Nando will excel in EPL. I'm saying stop calling him a flop until we have a couple of seasons to judge him. When the team is in transition and rebuilding, there will not be the understanding between strikers and the rest of the team that comes from years playing together (Owen-Gerrard, Henry-Vieira, etc). If the service is weak, of course the strikers can't score.
And Heskey was VERY effective as part of a team with Michael Owen. He was rated a flop because without Owen, he can't do much - keeps missing sitters and falling on his ass when trying shoot (a bit like Traore, but not so bad). Under GH's system, most goals come from the strikers on the fast break. Under Benitez, goals come from all over, as he favours having a variety of attacking options across the field. So even if Heskey were still here, he would not get as many goals because Rafa doesn't favour the long-ball-punt style as a main option, only as a secondary means of scoring. Using the 15-goals a season statistic is misleading. It's the overall result that counts. Heskey's goal tally came when GH was playing counter attacking. Once he tried to switch to a proper attacking style, Heskey's goals dried up. That shows a one-dimensional player. Very good (perhaps) at what he does, but can only do it one way. Once people figure out how to defend against him, he can't score because he doesn't have the footballing brain to adapt his style or create new options for himself on the pitch.
