If Crouchy is no good, then how come he is top scorer for Liverpool this Season (in all competitions)?

According to records elsewhere on the Net, Crouch has 9 goals to his name, followed by Bellamy and Kuyt with 6 each.

Would never pay £12million for Crouch though, you could get someone cheaper, and the same amount of goals from him. People like Darren Bent, cheaper than Crouch, but will get the same amount, if not more goals than Crouch.

I think Crouch should move to another premiership team where his talents won't go to waste

crouchy proved he can do what's needed of him today with that brilliant goal although he could've had at least another 1 but after that performance i hope we don't sell him

At least if he comes to Newcastle it wont be too long before he's injured and that'll keep him out of the England team. Well that's the only possitive I can find in it anyway!

Peter Crouch really is an enigma and is totally mis-evaluated by most people.

The man is the WORST HEADER of the ball in the Premiership, ahead even of Henry. However, his technical skills are superb, his close ball control is superhuman and his general finishing is that of a Premiership striker.

I love Peter Crouch, but it infuriates me so much to see him on the end of crosses 6 yards from goal as his headers are weak, off target or straight at the keeper. Strange player... there is total industrial inertia when it comes to making the most of his height and if anything it is a hindrance.

YNWA Crouchy I love you!

Couch's game is simple this:

1. Receive ball
2. Pass ball back
3. Go to back to 1.

Occasionally 3 is missed and we go to 4 which is get on the end of a cross and miss. There is of course the other rare occurance when he scores but it's a lot more luck that judgement when he does!

In answer to one of the questions earlier regarding Crouch being top scorer at Liverpool the answer could be that the other two are equally c**p!

Crouch is a regular score at Champions League level - understandably Geordies haven't witnessed much CL action - and at international level.

Crouch is just one of those players some people will never like, doesn't mean he is not a good player. He has got a terrific touch for a big man, excellent technique.

The one criticism that could credibly be levelled against him is that he does not score near enough goals with his head, as evidenced by glaring misses with his head against both Blackburn and Bolton, he could have had four wioth his head in those two games alone.

Crouch would be an excellent buy for Newcastle (esp considering Ameobi is near the top of ur pecking order,) but a bad sell from our POV, he would come back to haunt us Dean Saunders style, Im sure of it.

More to the point I'd like to see him get a regular start at Liverpool. Before Rafa started dropping Crouchie for Kuyt, he was confident and scoring regularly. Being third choice striker has dented the poor old giraffe's confidence and he isnt as sharp in the box. And yes: Crouchie is not a good 'power' header of the ball like Shearer was or Ferdinand was but he does hold the ball up well with his head and is pretty adept at flicks and so on.....
