Brilliant....

I dont dislike the man,, he has the odd good game.....but in the most part he's brings the level of our team down two notches,in style a performance, nearly everytime he plays.
Have you seen where we are in the league??? I swear we are third? Anyone would think we are liverpool?

How shall i justify it then? By slagging one of our players? Nah mate you are welcome to it. I try to get behind my team.

You must have been the one starting all the songs today.....at possibly the worst home game for atmosphere this century.

What about when he brought the ball down on the turn to slip his defender and get though on goal in the 2nd half before a defender had to slide tackle him in the box?

He didn't make enough of the opportunity he made for himself, but the control there was outstanding. People just ignore moments like that though because it doesn't fit with their preconceptions.

You mean the chance he made an absolute balls of? Or are you talking about the free header from six yards out in the first half?

The ball bounced off him all day long. He was wretched.

Your tiresome vendetta against crouch is :

Inaccurate
Disgraceful
Insulting
Over-the-top
Tedious.

Please be quiet and stop showing yourself up. Ta

If you dont like it, fuck off and dont respond. ITs not a vendetta, Ive never spoken about him on here before, but he is shit, and we are desperate for a forward.

Yeah that's right everyone here is wrong we're all idiots cos we don't like 'arry's special little soldier.

I'm sure you all agree with every decision Redknapp makes...

as for the not celebrating as it's Crouch, yeah i'm sure we all sat there like we were sucking lemons cos Crouch had helped our team.

Yeah, and that's thanks to Crouch....

We're up there, we're also yet to play Arsenal, Chelsea and MAn United this season. We've also been very inconsistent, with a relativly easy start, you need to pull the wool from your eyes. Liverpools plight couldn't not be more irrelevant to us.

But he's not shit. So simply put...you are wrong.

Compared to the the top clubs strikers he simply is. I would even put Bendtner into that equation, he may be capable of shit, but at least he can play, move and shoot, and is good to watch.

Our severe lack of goals isn't helped by Crouch, he is as likely to score as Heskey was for England. I have certainly argued elsewhere in the past that a knockdown or two wasn't enough for Heskey to warrant a place and if I am being consitent, the same thing applies to Crouch now.

We can't rely on our midfielders doing the majority of the scoring, our forwards have to do a fair share and at least as far as the league games go, Crouch just isn't cutting it. While it may not be his fault, today far too many hoofed up balls to him were made, with hardly anything resulting from this, it was not pretty football.

Defoe can't get fit soon enough, but until then Pav or Keane should get some starts, Crouch can't get away with a lack of goals forever, in both the game against Inter and today he missed good chances.

Saying that, we should have had a penalty today when he was clearly nudged into an Everton player, with the FK actually going against him, refs never seem to treat him well and let defenders foul him.

Bendtner and good to watch in the same sentence?

You must be on something really strong, can I have some?

Nah I was the one encouraging our players. Not lambasting them

Well you were in the minority. I take it you were telling people to shut up when they were singing for a sub for Crouch? Or can you only pipe up when "hiding behind a keyboard" as you put it.

Crouch isn't a striker and I think that's why people hate him...he cannot shoot...he hits it about half a mile an hour, he can't head, he heads straight at goal keepers...even the one against city last year was straight at the keeper, the keeper flapped and we got lucky.

As a hold up man though, he's outstanding, we just need to get that incredible striker (defoe?) playing well with him and then he's a big asset

So what?? What has that got to do with anything? Have we already lost to them in your eyes? Im my eyes we havent played them yet and have a great chance of beating them. If we dont we dont. I talk about that when it happens. At the moment after what you call an indifferent start we are in third place. We have a number of key first team players out. So in my eyes we are going to improve not get worse. I hate it when we are in the top four and we arent playing well.

Crouch is off form

Keane and Pav not good enough

Getting a striker in the summer was essential
