Crouch did score. Set up on a plate by VDV for the assist. :rofl:
it was a mistake by the defnder but dont let the facts cloud your potato head

Are you sure that is how it happened? I seem to remember a Pav shot being parried by Robbo and Crouch tucking in the rebound. I might be wrong...

Don't trust ole Gibbsy on that one.
I got it wrong. I think VDV was involved in the goal, pretty sure he gave it to Pav with a nice through ball.
If so he was involved in 3 goals. But he didn't play to his best right? :evil:
No he didn't play to his best. He was miles from his best Gibbsy sorry. VdV is great but he wasn't at his best today, I don't really see the issue with that?
Incidentally are you really blaming Modric for the second goal because he turned away? He was a full 2 metres from the ball, even if he had dived head first at full strength he wouldn't have stopped that ball going into the box.
No he didn't play to his best. He was miles from his best Gibbsy sorry.
You are MENTAL :rofl:
Miles from his best. Involved in 3 goals. What is he supposed to do? Score every game? lol. He wasn't played up front, and he STILL managed to do what Modders is SUPPOSED to be doing for us.
You know he was played on the right yeah?
I agree VDV was very good (in spite of other comments to the contrary) but he was not "on the right". At best that was a token position. He had largely a free role that sometimes began from the right.
I risk fear of being made to look daft when the stats come out but I suspect Bale put in more balls from our right (not including dead balls) than VDV did today.
Hutton was essentially our right flank all on his own, which makes his excellent performance all the more commendable.
VDV played alright today, definitely not his best, but he did well. Great pass for Pav leading up to Crouches goal. Great training ground move with Bale for the opener. Brought the ball down well for Bale's brace, though clearly his intention was to shape to shoot himself.
Modric was superb in the first half, just superb. Second half he fell away a bit (though still put several balls through for Bale) and made a couple of wrong decisions, but on the whole is was another good game for him.
Neither was at their best, but both were still obviously head and shoulders above most of the other players on the pitch from either side, and between them and Bale there's a fuckload to get excited about right now.
Picture yourself, if you will, strolling down the High Road towards the Lane on a fine Saturday afternoon and having your musings on the game in prospect interrupted by strange, bestial screechings. Is someone torturing a Cairn Terrier? Why no! It is simply a Care in the Community type who has forgotten his medication and is screaming incoherent drivel at passers-by.
Do you step up to him and say, 'Hail, good fellow! Let us engage in meaningful debate.'
No, you do not.
