I've always had the feeling that we would sell Crouch this summer but if we can keep up that level of service then he can be a bigger asset than I possibly thought. I didn't see the merit in keeping a player we could get good money for if he wasn't going to play much but if we can manage to keep the supply lines open he will prosper. Aurelio's crosses, accurate and fast are the type he will thrive off aerially because all he needs to do is direct the ball goalwards as the power is already in the ball.

Its been a long wait for you Wrighty.Good display by the big man but he has been pants in most games and just like any player was rightfully criticised.

Sod the opposition tomorrow. We should be looking to blow PSV to bits come tomorrow night and for that reason you have to play your inform players. Arsenal wouldn't rest a fit Henry because the opposition might try and counter his attributes. The lad's on fire and for me he must play.

If necessary, play Bellamy off him for pace, or f#ck it, play all three, but to drop Crouchie for tomorrow after the best performance of his career would be unfathomable in my mind.

He'll absolutely own that PSV defence in the absence of Alex too.

I have never been Crouchs bigest fan to slow to weak bad in the air. But what a game he had. And he should keep his place for the next game he was on fire taking people on linking up well and his goals were top class.
If he keeps it up we may fetch a preety peny for him in the transfer market because thats were i suspect were he may be going.

I reckon Big crouchie has played his way into the team for tomorrow nights game. Especially when you consider that PSV's best centre half (Alex) is out of the game. They will have watched highlights on the Arsenal game and will be sh*tting themselves

He is defo in tomos game with Alex being out bet your bottom dollar on it mate

I have to agree, I thought Crouchie was a bad buy at first, but he is a great asset to the club! What a hat-rick! Welcome back!

when u lot, or some of you say he'll never be a 20 goal a season striker are you aware he has 17 goals this seaon already and he has missed alot of games? or do you mean 20 league goals??
since crouchie broke his duck against wigan his scoring ratio for club and country has been as good as anyones yet he still gets stick and alot of strikers dont offer what he does if you take away goals

I think most people mean 20+ league goals a season.

Crouch has 17 now you say? Must say i am suprised (can't be bothered looking it up, sorry)
Does that include his ECL goals? and his international goals?

I thought he was on around 9-10 goals for the league. could be wrong.

by **alxy** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:15 am

9 goals so far in the league, same as Kuyt. But then it's never been purely about rotation. I believe Rafa would play the strikers according to what tactics he has lined up for specific opposition. For example, Crouchy is no use when the team is set-up for fast counter attacks.

Also, 1 game does not make a God (with respect to Robbie

). If the next game he misses 3 sitters, then everyone will be saying "Sell him!" all over again. Don't get me wrong though. I am for ANY Liverpool player proving himself to be excellent. Heck, I would even welcome Salif Diao back if he suddenly begins to play like Vieira

I think the booing of Peter Crouch comes down to jealously.

Think about it like this:

1- He has a girlfriend who will probably let you do any depraved perverted thing you can think of to her.

2- He gets loads of goals.

3- He's probably got tons of money.

4- He plays for Liverpool FC

5- He's really ugly, but still managed to get a sexually liberated girl, loads of goals, bought by Liverpool and has got tons of money.
