Voronin and Kuyt partnership

[carheex]

It is so far behind it's untrue.

Throw Bellers,Anelka, Fowler of last season, Owen in there and they're all streets ahead

I'd also prefer Heskey

Now you're just being a silly billy!

I think we should play Nathan Eccleston against Arsenal

We'll need at least 11 men against arsenal....

Time to blood some kids.

Forward line of Torres and Babel would be very effective IMO.

I think 1 player out of Kuyt, Crouch and Voronin will be gone in January.

any 2 strikers with pace would be more effective! whan I said sign 'Bryan Habana', he'd probably actually do a better job! What does that tell us!

I can really see all 3 gone by next summer at the latest.

The Kuyt - Voro partnership just simply doesn't work. They are too similar and Kuyt in particular just isn't a goal threat. His workrate is excellent and he's got a decent all round game but he doesn't have anything to really worry top class defences.

The pair of them have no pace so defences can hold a high line knowing that they won't be done for pace. This allied with a lack of genuine width makes us too easy to defend against.

Without torres playing i'd play Babel upfront as at least he's got pace to worry defenders. Also Crouch must be utilised more. He;s not being rotated, lets face it, he's virtually never plays.

Kuyt must be sold asap and if Rafa won't use Crouch then so must he. Voronin is ok as 3rd/4th striker but we badly need someone who can lead the line when torres is rested/injured.

They’re a dreadful partnership. My heart sank when I saw the team. I can’t think of a more skill-less, pace-less and impotent LFC strike-force for a long, long time.

Crouch & Morientes was a rubbish pairing but at least one of them scored goals.

I’d like to see the list of games in which they’ve started up front together. I know they started against Birmingham. Everton was an exception, I reckon,

Well said sums it up perfectly

They are horrible players to watch

Agreed.

Sums it up nicely

To be honest, Crouch hasn't done himself any favours when he has been given the chance either. And I am not thinking about form, more about his lack of effort in my eyes.
He would have been perfect yesterday, and how Rafa didn't put him on at Rafa half time (55 minutes) was a surprise to me.

Well, the rumored bust up between Crouch and Rafa may be true, at least it looks that way. I don't remember who reported it.

He is better than Kuyt or Voronin but he still don't play more or less anything.

We need someone like Diego or Nasri to play behind Torres. Benayoun is our best option right now.

Seriously, if you were crouch and you see thes 2 donks getting a game ahead of you weekin week out, you'd be pissed off to **** aswell. Along with being totally disillusioned, demoralised and confidence drained.

And how about at least showing he deserves to be picked ahead of them when he gets on the pitch?

Sorry, he should be pissed, but mostly at himself.
Focus on what he can improve himself and make it impossible for Rafa to overlook him.
