Peter Crouch

[bobbyfallon]

Listen...I don't care if people don't rate Crouch - we're all entitled to different opinions. What bugs me slightly is when people stick the boot in to a player even when he's sitting in the stand while we won SIX NIL.

It's an agenda with some folk.

he is sitting in the stand because he is not good enuf for liverpool football club.

his finishing is poor
he is **** with his head..

your right everyone is entitled to their opinion but for me just not good enuf

Who rattled your cage?

I suppose our "failings last year" were all Crouch's fault.

It was a positive weekend yet you felt the need to put a negative spin on events and stick the boot in to one of your favourite whipping boys. You're not far behind 'justcruisin' in terms of repetitive slagging - only your targets are different to his and you have two (Kewell & Crouch) instead of one

Some people are only happy when they're bleating.

I give credit where it's due.Kewell has not been missed and Crouch is likable but he annoys me at times.Torres has given us a new dimension.He has got the lot as a striker.I will give Crouch and Kewell praise if they deserve it.
Just cruisin is anti Kuyt full stop.
You cannot deny that we are a different team to watch with Torres leading the line rather than Crouch.As I said Crouch will be extra motivated when he gets his chance and will offer us something different at times.

It would be a boring place if we loved everyone

i have not made it a secret how i feel about crouch not being good enuf for liverpool fc......... so tell me what he offers our team and im fairly confident i can find a better pleyer for all answers ?????????

That talk is not liked here
You like me are entitled to your opinion

[JPK]

But you didnt ask that. You asked us to give you info about him and you can find a better player. Clearly you cant

Get off Crouchie's back. No doubt when he signed you were effin and blindin when Rafa played him until he scored and when he did you couldnt think of why Rafa would want to leave him out

How long did he take to score?

How long did Voronin and Torres?

ok then, i can say there are probably 30 players at the club better in the air than him.... his backpassheaders to keepers really aannoys me.

he is a good player and will score goals but just not good enuf for us thats my point

back to your point, last year i wanted him to play cos he was better than others, this year . **** no !!!

That's fair.

We are a totally different outfit with Torres leading the line - he has got the lot, as you say.

One partnership that hasn't been tried, though, is Torres/Crouch. I'd like to see that pairing given a chance. I think Crouch is better than Kuyt, offers a greater goal threat and gives defenders a lot more to think about.

I genuinely believe Torres & Crouch would score a hatful between them. The one big thing in Dirk's favour is that he links very well with Torres and they're on the same wavelength.

Nobodys saying Crouch should start every game. Far from it infact. But what I (and I think Shaggy would agree with me) am saying is people shouldnt give him aggro because he is asking to play more. If you worked for a company and you were employee of the month, most months for a year and then suddenly you were only getting half the hours would you be happy? Would you go ask for more to the boss? Of course you would. Thats all Crouch has done. He isnt in the media saying I want to leave ASAP because Im not playing. He knows now that hes 4th choice and will have to take every chance he gets if he wants to be in the team more often.

It is "enough" NOT "enuf"

he takes maybe one in five, clear cut chances............ what good is that away to portsmouth mid dec or whenver and need to bury the one good chance we get??

Ok you like Crouch more than Kuyt and that is fair.Dirk does link the midfield and attack brilliantly and I think he is a defenders nightmare in the way he pops up everywhere.It will be interesting to see Crouch and Torres together.
They like you said will score a hatfull or Crouch will slow it down too much for Torres.

thanks for pointing that out, i was missing the day they done spelling at school...................

Im not saying I want a Torres-Crouch partnership. Id prefare a Torres-Voronin one, and sometimes the Torres-Kuyt one looks tasty aswell. Im just trying to defend the man because he is looking to play more. Its not his fault that hes not in the team. Its because Rafas signed new players who are better than him. So IMO if he gets into the team then he needs to bag a few goals otherwise hes nothing more than 3 choice for me aswell

Either that or you are still at it

Why bring this up now?
He will get his chance and i'm sure he won't dissapoint.His goalscoring record is pretty impressive at club and international level.He gives us a totally different dimension to the other strikers and the front line will change dependant on our opposition.The "possibilities" we have now upfront is 2nd to none in world football.Be proud of everyone as they will all have their say in bringing no19 back home were it belongs.

No player needs slagging off tbh.Especially so early.
