Just home from the game and WTF!! Oh, boy I am so angry, I dont get to see the team as often as I used to, especially not at Anfield, so I get two games in a week (I live in London!) to go to, and they are both f.ucking sh.it.....FFS!!!
Well, I started this thread because of the irony I saw in the Crouch buy, playing better in europe than he does in the supposed games he was bought for!
Now the irony continues, as another 'away' game against a team YOU KNOW are up for a battle (an Ian Dowie team) and would hope that Crouch would be up for too, and he gets bullied and roughed up for 90mins!
This guy, has ability, that I dont deny, but the irony gets worse.
He is 6ft 7in and he isnt even good in the air. No, ok, he is good at flick ons etc; actually he is very good at that (when not bullied to get to it) but he doesnt ever look like scoring with his HEAD. How ironic, is that eh?
So if he is not that good in the air (in an attacking/goalthreat sense!) but is good on the deck, then surely we should have just kept Baros, or bought another striker, (maybe) for less money, but that was as good or better thn crouch on the floor, ok in the air, but could also shoot. Because Crouch simply doesnt shoot, even when he has the oppurtunity, as I think he knows himself his shots are c.rap and he would never score from outside the box.
I have really coming to the realisation, that Crouch is NOT going to score (not in anyway that will really benefit the team; ie over 15 goals) and is simply there to knock the ball on for the other striker or oncoming midfileders (formation depending).
Cisse, has to start again Saturday, and really I Think it is time, we play to HIS strengths instead of accomadating him into the system, on the right wing, or the right of a front three. He must play upfront. End of.
