When he plays its just the long ball game right to Crouch's bonce knock downs for someone else to finish, we where so predictable when we where playing this formation it was a killer to watch.
When he plays we have no urgency or pace about us.
I am not dissing Crouch mind I think he has been a great buy, and its not his fault we play this way when he is on the pitch its the others arfound him.
Anyhow he was doing well in the CL probably cause thats not played 110 miles an hour, but he is 3rd choice now nothing any one can do about it really.
He will be playing more games over the busy holiday period I suppose.

I agree ... but its seems that he already drop to 4th choice after Garcia.

there is no doubt he has his good attributes but i really doubt whether he is good enough for a title contending side. he is not a top class finisher, not great in the air, and extremely slow. i dont think i would be too dissapointed if he left for a good price

i would like Crouch to stay

Crutch has to stay. He is immense. He's a great lad that Crutch.

Big Pete to stay, to let him go now would be a complete shame. The fellow has done nothing wrong and he does score goals. Keep him !!! :bowdown

Crouch is an extreme hard worker to the team, however he is just like Kuyt. Two players who almost play the same can be good for the team as we wouldn't have to change our style that much, however its difficult when one player greats some good form and stays in the team like Kuyt is, the other has to be spared.

He will get his chances, esp in the CL, however i don't feel Rafa bought him for just a couple of season, not after spending 7mil on him.

Only sell if teams will be prepared to pay over 10mil.

Since joining us, he has proved his worth, developed as a player in all areas of his play and is a great team player. How often do you find that in a player?

Simple - keep him

Argument: Top scorers for Liverpool FC this season (so far)

Crouch 9
Kuyt 6
Gerrard 5
Bellamy 5
Garcia 5
Fowler 4
....

If Crouch is average, where does that leave the rest of the team ?

Walk on... :buttrock

so he hasnt scored in the last 3 or so games,lets dump him and play fowler and then if he doesnt score in 3 games dump him too

im sick of this :censored:

,hes top quality,and i think since he got injured,i think 2 weeks ago,he hasnt really got back into the starting lineu.,since bellamy got them 2 against wigan,he kinda lost his place,but if tonight he socres too or three,you'll be saying tht hes brillian tor watever,he not going to newcastle,i doubt he wnts to and there is alot of chances for him hear,i think hel start tonight ,hel get his chance to shine again and he will eventually start again in some games.

how often do you finda guy who's 6f7, has great ball control and skills, and who holds the ball up like no other striker!?!? we'd be crazy to sell him. the lad bangs in goals and still doesn't start, but i can see why with bellers firing and kuyt playing well too...but they cant play every game! crouch is also an awesome player to have on the bench, he can come on and change the dimention of our play if we need something different. just look at the charlton game...within 5 mins of being on the field he already had an assist!! dont talk crazy...rafa won't sell him unless we get bundles of money and buy a world class striker.... YNWA:O

I hope he stays hes a real good fellow hes down to earth and is proving that he does deserve to be at liverpool. Some people were on his back last year and even the start of this year but i like the man and i hope he stays put

by **dawson99** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 5:54 pm

he should stay but he has to know that he wont always be first choice. sometimes (more often than not lately) it seems that rafa prefers juyt and bellamy up front, with crouch on the bench in case we need something different.

thats why i think we brought him in the first place.
