What is it about Crouch?

[Longy]

What is it about Crouch, that managers don't like. Why isn't he in the starting line up alongside Owen. I think he is one of the most troublesome strikers in the Premiership. OK he doesn't score for fun, but he certainly scares the living daylights out of defences. With Owen to lay the ball off to, its a managers dream isn't it? Someone please shed the light because I cannot see any!!!

OK let them move it, but it also apply's to Rafas tactics of late, doesn't it.

McClaren and his ****in ManUre bias

yes and no, Rafa plays him when he thinks he's suited for the game, Mclaren just picks at random it seems

[Longy]

I really feel for the lad, he works his butt-off, if only we can get someone in to also play to his strengths, assuming we are to keep him on. Or is he such an enigma that we cash in on him and go for a different style of attack?

No idea mate i would have started him from the start he could have provided height with beckhams crosses as well as holding up play. He has so much to his game, but the clown McClaren is just dumb period.

Was listening to Talksport earlier in the day and that tw@t cundy said that the jury is out there for crouch as he doesnt provide much to the team and has been lucky scoring goals. Atleast Rhodri Williams stood up for Crouch and shut that fools gob.

No idea either. Just look what that **** Smith contributed tonight - f all. Manure bias or what

I heard Jason Cundy on talksport earlier in the week ,the show was really crap so I turned over to Scott mills ,he was on holiday and JK and Joel were standing in,but I still listened to that rather than the Cundy show. Bring back wrighty !!!

Is it not possible Crouch will start against Estonia? Smith certainly did his chances no good last night I thought. Then again I'm not the football genius that is Steve "I know it's hard to believe but I had an affair" McClown.

Crouch's lack of any pace whatsoever is clearly a big limitation. He does provide a great option from the bench though.
