Houllier said: "Emile scored a great goal and a very important goal. He always works hard for the team and no-one has backed Emile Heskey more than me.
"What I want him to do now is to use his own assets more. He has power, he has strength and I want him to use it more. He is maybe going through a crisis in confidence but I like him, he is a lovely guy and I will keep backing him.
"He is a nice guy. He can maybe have a more killer instinct in front of goal yes, but I think this goal today will give him a lot of confidence."
How many will Heskey score this season?
