16 games 0 goals ........10 attempts on goal 0 goals .......
granted you see more at the actual game but what i will say is this....
just cos you go to a game doesnt mean you understand it more than someone watching on tv. (why do managers watch video footage?)
you obviously dont understand the game overly well...(dunno if youve played the game much but thats a different matter). on paper crouch looks useless. on the pitch hes been a different story and is playing well. hes also in the england squad.
giles and brady see this. i would rate their opinion a hell of a lot higher than your single minded slag liverpool agenda. crouchs goals will come. in fact lets hope he gets the winner against your lot...in fact your lot are so ****e right now he may get a hat-trick.
10 shots no goals. much better than no shots no goals. come in drunken duncan.
as for the "real" fans. again just cos they pay money and go to games doesnt mean they know it all about the football theyre watching. if i lived in liverpool i would go to the home games but i live in cork/limerick so i go to all the cork/limerick home games instead.
Thomkins writes by FAR the best articles on LFC. No one else comes closeQuote:

the very fact you are trying to argue crouch's case explains a lot, what excuse is it today "we didnt buy a striker to score goals" , or other such jems.
id go to cork/limerick games if it was worth the tenner , its not . so i dont go .
surely you as a EL fan dont support a english team ??;)
The fact he got man of the match means we dont have to explain anything to people who THINK they know the game.....:rolleyes:Quote:

Grow up FFS .
I think its easy for anto and other evertonians to dish out the abuse at Crouch as a way of masking the troubles at their own club. The current fad among the media and other suporters is to bash Crouch at every opportunity. The goals haven't arrived yet but how many other clubs would take Liverpool's position of last 16 in the champions league playing a striker who contributes enormously to the team, but has yet to score himself? Yes, he cost 7 million and is a striker. So what? The stats somebody else mentioned don't lie and as much as I'd like to see Crouchy scoring asap I couldn't care less if Liverpool keep winning and he picks up the man of the match award every time(without scoring). I know the bluenoses would love a current English international striker in their ranks and it must irk them that a goalless striker across town is getting the nod ahead of their 5m bloated brute from Blackburn who has the sum total of 2 goals himself, and f**k all else to his game. Which of the two will go to the World Cup and who'll be getting fatter next summer? We all know the answer to that one, provided injury doesn't set in along the way. Eriksson, McClaren and Benitez can't all be wrong and time will prove their judgements 100% correct, if it hasn't already done so.
Great post Joe, sensible comments as always. I'm becoming a fan of the likeable Crouchy. The lad is a breath of fresh air in a sport that is bursting with large egos. His commitment and hard work illustrate his merits. He contributes so much to the team. His first touch and technique are rare, if not unheard of in a player of his size. He's still a young man, a little similar in stature to a young Niall Quinn. If he becomes physically stronger in the same way as Quinn did, he has a big future ahead of him. Crounch had 8/9 attempts on goal on Wednesday night. That shows character from a player that is undergoing a goal-scoring drought. The likes of Lineker, Shearer and Owen have all suffered droughts in front of goal. It's only a matter of time before Crouch gets on the scoresheet and the goals begin to flow. In the meantime, he will continue to help Liverpool win tricky away games against the likes of Villa. Any Liverpool fan will be happy that Crouch is an excellent acquisition.Quote:

Morientes has as much pace as me granny and the less said about Cisse the better. Typical of you though JoeSemi- i've never once heard you run down a Liverpool player. You're namesake Josemi was the spanish Carragher up to no length ago sure! :p
Things are beginning to look rosy again on the blue side though. Big Joe Yobo came up trumps today and made up for recent shaky performances with a fine header to send that pr!ck souness home pointless. The toffees are at last out of the bottom three and will make that expected surge up the table in the coming weeks.
They're still gonna finish higher than Liverpool this season!:p.Quote:

As for Peter Crouch, this bloke continues to defy belief, as the score after 4,5 months of the season is still: Jamie Carragher 1-0 Peter Crouch!! :eek:
...........he is back!!!Quote:
