My teammates at Liverpool and England would play FIFA and Call of Duty, but I never played video games or anything like that, even though I\u2019d go viral because of FIFA years later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could always hear it down the corridor, everyone huddled around a console and screaming! FIFA was always massive, mainly when we were away with the England national team, but it was a big thing at clubs as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll tell you the ones who played a lot. Darren Bent and Jermain Defoe were both always at it, and they were very good. Wazza played a bit as well. He was one of the better ones on FIFA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Your sons are professional footballers, having come through an era where FIFA and EA FC are part of the culture of football. Are they fans of the games?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>My sons are into the games. They love EA FC and all that, so they do play it, and I&#8217;ve got some of their cards too. I haven&#8217;t got Jaden&#8217;s yet, but I&#8217;ve got Reigan&#8217;s, and I&#8217;m trying to collect them. It&#8217;s nice to see them enjoying it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They haven&#8217;t complained about their stats on the new game just yet, but I&#8217;m sure they will! It&#8217;s interesting to see who actually does complain because they used to put me down as slow-paced, but I was quick!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s interesting when you see these sorts of things and how people look at you with their perceptions of your game. You just have to leave it to what everyone wants to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> If EA Sports got in touch tomorrow to say they wanted to create a new Emile Heskey hero card, what attributes would you insist on?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>If they\u2019re going to do me an Emile Heskey hero card, my strength has got to be high, and pace has got to be high. Everything else, you know, it is what it is. But pace and strength have got to be high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> How important are legends in these games as a way to help players understand how good the greats really were back in the day?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>If it helps people to understand the quality these players had, I think it can be a good thing, and YouTube is a useful one for that as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think I was watching some highlights myself the other day against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in 2001, and I couldn\u2019t believe it. I was playing left wing! Being able to go back and see players and watch what they were really like, I like things like that because you hear people saying Ronaldinho was better than Ronaldo Naz\u00e1rio, and I just think you never saw Ronaldo!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go back and watch that one year he had at Barca and then watch him a few years later at Inter Milan. People say Ronaldinho had more tricks? Go and watch Ronaldo and then tell me that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Turning to football away from EA Sports FC now, are Liverpool going to have to remain patient for at least another year before they win something under Andoni Iraola?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Is Andoni Iraola laying the foundations this season? I don&#8217;t know if that would be his thinking because the reality is when you go to a big club like Liverpool, you want to hit the ground running.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t know how long you&#8217;re going to last in these jobs. You&#8217;re always 10 games away from being sacked!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Really, Iraola wants to be putting his name on a few trophies straight away, thinking, let\u2019s get these games won, get everyone up to speed, and get playing the way he wants them to play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We saw with Arne Slot that nothing is guaranteed, even at Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Rio Ngumoha was brilliant against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. Does he remind you of any of your former teammates or rivals?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>The only player I could probably compare Rio Ngumoha to is Joe Cole. Sometimes we forget, as time goes by, we forget how good players were, and Joe Cole was a dribbler. There were players that couldn&#8217;t get near him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joe Cole played more centrally than Rio does. Rio&#8217;s a winger. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve seen another player like Joe Cole, to be honest with you, because as a dribbler through the middle, he was arguably the best. He\u2019d go left, right, twisting players through the middle, taking players on, doing two or three stepovers, and this was all when he was 18 or 19 playing at West Ham. He changed a little bit when he went to Chelsea, but that was a credit to how he could adapt his game too, and something Rio needs to learn from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You go from West Ham to Chelsea, and suddenly you\u2019re no longer the big fish in the small pond. You\u2019re part of this system, and you\u2019ve got to find out where you fit in, and he went on to win the league and plenty of other trophies playing that way, so who can say it was wrong? Maybe we\u2019ll see Rio take Liverpool to a few more league titles as his style of play matures too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Given the game time Trey Nyoni is enjoying under Iraola, can he be the solution to their midfield problems to save Liverpool from spending a fortune in the transfer market given the prices of Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali in the summer?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Can Trey Nyoni save Liverpool \u00a3100 million in the transfer market by filling the place of the holding midfielder they\u2019d otherwise need to sign? 100%! You\u2019ve got to remember, though, he&#8217;s only 19, so he can keep doing this for the next 10 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of fans and a lot of pundits have been looking at Liverpool and saying they haven&#8217;t really got anyone who can punch a ball through and keep it moving, but now we\u2019re seeing that that\u2019s what Trey does, and he does it well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He&#8217;s only slight, so we&#8217;re not really looking at his stature and thinking he will be winning possession back at this moment in time, but he&#8217;s doing well with the ball, and what he produces for Liverpool in that role has been outstanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It allows Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch to play further forward, and that\u2019s probably where you get the best out of them, and they can help Trey by covering the ground and winning back the ball more aggressively than he can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they can play in these higher positions, with Trey sitting back, it could give Liverpool a new lease of life because Gravenberch was only playing that role himself out of necessity. He\u2019s not a holding midfielder. He only played there because Liverpool didn\u2019t have anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now he can play further forward, and we\u2019ll start to see what he\u2019s really about as a midfielder too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Bradley Barcola played wide right against Arsenal. Is it his destiny that he takes on the Mohamed Salah role at Liverpool in the long term?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Bradley Barcola has shown he can play Mohamed Salah\u2019s old role, but I think he&#8217;ll have to play in different positions too to adapt to what Liverpool needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You look at Rio Ngumoha. Rio&#8217;s a left winger. He loves to pull out all these tricks on the left wing, and he will inevitably come inside and have a shot, but Iraola has put him on the right wing and told him he&#8217;s got to be prepared to do both. Go down the line and cross balls, or come inside and thread balls in. So he&#8217;s actually adapting very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We saw at Bournemouth what Iraola does with his wingers, and I think both Barcola and Rio can go on to big things if they give him what he wants out wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Would Manchester United improve if they moved on from Michael Carrick or are they right to stick by him?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>They&#8217;ve tried everything, and it\u2019s come back to the same position regardless of who the manager is. That suggests it&#8217;s not the manager, then. There&#8217;s got to be something else going on that no one&#8217;s been able to address. They&#8217;ve had the best in Jose Mourinho. They&#8217;ve had some unknowns as well. Even Michael Carrick is a bit of an unknown. He&#8217;s very young in his coaching career. He got them to third last season and did a really good job, but now look at the mess they\u2019re in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes to show it\u2019s not just on Carrick. Everyone who\u2019s gone into United has ended up in the same boat eventually, so they need to figure out, first and foremost, as a club, who they are and what they should be doing. Are they still this giant? I mean, it doesn\u2019t look like at the moment, given recent results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> What do you make of the idea that Manchester United need to be relegated to change the deeper problems at the club?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Manchester United getting relegated this season would be the biggest story in the history of the Premier League, but I still don&#8217;t think they will go down. We all said the same about Tottenham Hotspur, and they were in a proper relegation fight in the end. It will be the same for United.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reality is that United have some fantastic players that can easily pull them out of this situation. The only thing is, you change Michael Carrick and you bring someone in who gives you that bounce-back, and you&#8217;re going to be changing that boss again within six months to a year anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some fans might say they want United to get relegated to get rid of their owners, but take it from me, you don\u2019t want that. I\u2019m from Leicester. You look at what\u2019s going on there, and the reality is that you don\u2019t want to be going down the route of treating relegation as the reset you need to get rid of this or that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, you\u2019ve got a five or six-billion-dollar company where you\u2019re saying that we should strip it back and make it go down to bare bones and then try and force them to sell it, and for what? There\u2019s no guarantee that puts you in a better position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You just want an owner like that to get the best he possibly can for himself and get out when it&#8217;s the right time. That\u2019s the best United fans can hope for. Don\u2019t wish for relegation. If you\u2019re not careful, you might end up in League One like Leicester City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Where do Leicester City go from here given their start to the season?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>It&#8217;s just tough to know what to make of Leicester City and their future because this is not something that&#8217;s happened in the last four or five years. It&#8217;s probably happened over the last 10 years. Since they won the league, the thinking has been, OK, let&#8217;s go and be this big powerhouse, but we&#8217;re not that. It&#8217;s the result of something that&#8217;s just been kicked down the road for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enzo Maresca winning the Championship to go back up was probably not the best thing that could have happened to Leicester. I know it sounds weird, but we weren\u2019t in the right position to go back up. We were probably even worse than when we went down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Should managers like Michael Carrick be expected to speak on decisions made by sporting directors?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Once you go into a club like Manchester United, you should know exactly where you stand. When you sign the contract, the parameters should be clear to you. The reality is that with directors of football and all that, people like Jason Wilcox should be the ones coming out and talking about the job and their vision for the club. If a manager like Michael Carrick doesn\u2019t have full control over it all, how can he talk about it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At a press conference, when you\u2019re talking about players coming in and out, half of the managers these days don\u2019t have full control over all that, so the directors of football need to be pulled in to talk about this stuff. Go and tell the fans why you brought this player in or sold that one. Don\u2019t leave it to the manager to front it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pull of Manchester United as this big global sports brand is wearing thin now. It used to be that the 20 or 30 top managers would have all wanted to go to Manchester United at one stage. You might not even get three or four interested in the job as it is now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> Is Dominic Calvert-Lewin the best-placed player to step in for Harry Kane in the England pecking order now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Dominic Calvert-Lewin has put his name in the hat, hasn&#8217;t he, and you have to take your hat off to him because he had a tough time leaving Everton. I wouldn&#8217;t say no one was looking at him, his name was linked with loads of teams, but no one foresaw him going to Leeds, to be honest with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He seems to have reinvented himself there. He had a lot of injuries, and he seems to be getting over that period where he can actually be on the pitch, and when you put the ball in the box, outside of Harry Kane, and obviously Ivan Toney, as far as English strikers go, who&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s really going to put their head on the ball, or get in front of a defender, outmuscle them, and get that goal? It&#8217;s him. You&#8217;ve got to say that he has done really well himself because I didn&#8217;t see that coming, for one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for joining Manchester United, Alan Smith was the last one to make that move? Dan James went the other way. It\u2019s still a rare move, but I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Manchester United are looking at him. Everyone has a value. It depends what they put on the table in January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> What did you make of Teddy Sheringham\u2019s view that Viktor Gy\u00f6keres plays like a child and is nowhere near where Arsenal need him to be as a senior player?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Saying that Viktor Gy\u00f6keres plays like a child is a little bit harsh, but when you\u2019re at a bigger club, the expectations on you are sky-high, and you do need to understand everything about your role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, like Gy\u00f6keres, you don\u2019t have that understanding of how to do the job of playing a centre-forward in the Premier League, it\u2019s then about what you work on in training and what you can do off the training pitch to gain that understanding of what is needed of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I look at my own journey. I went from Leicester City, where we played up, back and through. I was off chasing the channels, dribbling with the ball. Me and Muzzy Izzet would take it down the line, try and cause havoc. Then I go to Liverpool, and I\u2019ve got to figure it all out again. Where do I fit within this team, and what do they need? What do they want from me? What\u2019s the style of play?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t up, back and through like how I had been playing at Leicester. Everything was to feet, sliding the ball into players, making runs here and there, and so I had to be clever enough to understand how I could fit into that, and what was needed from me by that group of players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I played with a couple of the best strikers ever, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, and I knew that Wayne was different to Michael, so I needed to adapt my game to understand how to play in that system.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gy\u00f6keres is 28 now. He\u2019s not a youngster. He needs to get up to speed, and if he were to work on just one thing, I think it has to be his hold-up play because that is the quickest way to suddenly become important to your team as a centre-forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #ffb600;\">Q:<\/span> How would Arsenal benefit from Viktor Gy\u00f6keres if he focused more on serving the team\u2019s needs than trying to score goals?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #9684ff;\"><strong>EH:<\/strong> <\/span>Why did Eden Hazard love playing with Olivier Giroud? Because he knew he could bounce the ball into him, trusting in him to hold the ball up so he could run on and play off that. As a striker, you need to figure out the one thing that\u2019s going to give you the nod to put you ahead of others. Why would he start ahead of Kai Havertz if they\u2019re both fit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Viktor Gy\u00f6keres can learn how to play his role, then it\u2019s not just Bukayo Saka who would benefit. It\u2019s all the wingers at Arsenal and the number 10, because Martin \u00d8degaard is behind you, and he\u2019s the one that needs to create some space and play off you, and then it\u2019s Saka.

What he gives you going the other way outweighs that massively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Manchester United? No, I don\u2019t think he\u2019d ever do that.

What\u2019s interesting is that when you look at that list of all the players to have moved clubs for \u00a3100m or more, he wouldn\u2019t have even been in that bracket, but he\u2019s the one doing well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He cost Chelsea \u00a3113 million, and he\u2019s looked worth every penny.

It\u2019s his subtle movements and everything else in his game, the way he turns, drives, and plays players through. This was before the World Cup, and watching him for Villa, all I could think was that he is definitely on the plane. Everyone else is going to have to fight for the other seats because he has to go. You could just see how good he was, and how good he can still become.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, he&#8217;s got his mate Jude Bellingham ahead of him at this moment in time, and he\u2019s constantly shutting his doubters up, so the national team is looking great, especially in midfield. It&#8217;s looking awesome, in fact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve got others coming through too who can step up as well, like Liverpool\u2019s Trey Nyoni, and we\u2019ve not even talked about Phil Foden.

It\u2019s his to throw away. If he gets injured or something else happens, then Alexander Isak and Nicolas Jackson have a chance, but otherwise Haaland is just a phenomenon. Put the ball in the box, give it to him in the right position, and he&#8217;s going to score goals. That&#8217;s all it is. Give it to him in the right position, and he&#8217;ll get you a goal.

The best comeback is to show them, and you&#8217;ve got to remember what he was like for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I liked him at Chelsea. I thought he created a lot of chances. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, he missed a few as well, but his movement and his game created them. I&#8217;m not talking about someone creating for him, I&#8217;m talking about him personally, getting the ball, turning, dribbling, and shooting. He created a lot of chances for himself, so I quite liked him for that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, at times he probably was wasteful in the sense that, playing for a top-four team, you&#8217;ve got to be clinical, but he was still young, so for them to jump at the first sign of trouble and get rid of him, it&#8217;s credit to Jackson, in all honesty. He&#8217;s showing his maturity and showing where he is within football, coming back and showing people, I&#8217;m not losing this opportunity.

Wouldn\u2019t that be a great story? I\u2019m sure through his friends and new business connections he could pull together the cash and the people he would need to make that happen too. The reality is that someone has to come in and pay the money to get the Glazers out and replace Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and Beckham can definitely find the backing to come in and make that happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at what happened at Liverpool with Hicks and Gillett. Manchester United need to find their version of Fenway Sports Group, and Beckham has got more than enough about him to go and do that, and when you look deeper into everything, you realize it\u2019s a massive opportunity too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not always what you see on the surface.

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re playing 3-4-3 with overlapping, underlapping full-back and all this tactical jargon only to lose a game. If you play 4-4-2, leave it all up to the players, but you win the game, who cares if it was all down to your philosophy or the instructions you gave out to everyone?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know we all want our teams to look good at times, but it&#8217;s about winning games, and this is not just for the manager, by the way. This is for the players too. It&#8217;s XI versus XI. You\u2019ve got a one-on-one battle there, and you\u2019ve got to win it, and when you&#8217;ve won your battle, go and help your mate win his battle as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s what I was taught at Leicester City. We can all put it onto the manager, but once we cross that line, it&#8217;s me and you. It&#8217;s not him. He\u2019s just stood there. He can&#8217;t really do much for us. It&#8217;s not just on him, it&#8217;s on the players as well, and that applies to clubs like Manchester United too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think United have lost a bit of that fear factor. Teams no longer fear them. They haven&#8217;t got that about them anymore. I think they&#8217;re losing a bit of that togetherness too, that fight, and that hunger to be the best and be better than anyone else, and you know what? I prefer it when Manchester United are actually doing well, because it gives everyone else a bit more hype.
