Well, after seeing Crouch play for us against Olympiacos, I have to say he looks promising ! I was one of those who was very sceptical about his signing and will admit that I didn't think he was Liverpool material, however I am now prepared to sit back and see how he develops.
He displayed a good touch the other night as well as obviously winning a couple of flick-ons which I am just yearning to see Djib sprint onto before hammering home. However the most impressive thing, in my opinion, was something very minor but which says to me that he will score quite a few goals and that was watching him get into the box when we were attacking and genuinely attacking the cross. There were numerous occasions where he was following up shot's, or simply positioning himself to attack the 6 yard box which is something none of our other strikers do. Morientes, Cisse and Baros all prefer to drop off to the edge of the box rather than attack the cross/shot. To me that say's that he has a touch of the poacher in him which is something we have been sorely missing and I think he will score a few goals that way and open up spcae for the other strikers who seem to want to drop deep.
