Peter Crouch

[Imy]

I find watching Crouch really frustrating, in that he could be such an awkward/awesome player. But time after time he gets bullied by opposing defenders (Terry and Rio usually comfortably keep him quiet). He also tends to lose the ball a lot and gives away far too many fouls.

His heading is usually poor, with his 'crouching; style, compare that with Nikola Žigić who is a simmilar height and whose heading skills are brilliant.

Yes his goals to games ratio is good, but he scored 3 of his goals against Arsenal.

Personally i would prefer Zigic, but otherwise Crouch would not be one of the strikers i hope Rafa sells as he does offer something unique which not many strikers in the world have.

Welcome to the site.

Just so you know, if people insult you it's probably safe to assume they've got you confused with someone else.

Why is that a bad thing?

The goals against Arsenal were brilliant!!

The Reason i put a negative spin type on it is because it makes his averages a goal every x minutes look better then it actually is.

I confused as to how you work that out, but I'm probably being pedantic so I'll let it pass as it doesn't really make too much difference to the overall point.

How, why would you want to count a hat-trick less than any other three goals. Especially as it was against a top team. If it was 3 against a team like last years Sunderland I can understand nit wanting to count them.

[Imy]

No i dont mean to demean his goals vs Arsenal, all i'm saying is that the Goals to game ratio would then be wrong

Absolutely no idea. It's probably because he's "dead tall".

He's got good feet for a tall lad
