    I do believe we need to drop crouch, after he went of lastnight we finally got the ball down and played some really decent stuff on the ground " yes the ground " just like chelsea arsenal & utd do , play it on the gorund , you know that green stuff called " GRASS " lol! .~

    When crouch is on the field we have no creativity upfront simply because the long ball to crouch is being played time & time again , now i dont want to upset the spurs can't do anything wrong amongst you by having a dig @ crouchinho , but i seriously think he is why we're not scoring atm

    Problem Redkanpp wont start pav & keane togeather , come saturday crouch will no doubt start and the long ball will be god

    Actually quite agree with some of that Lobo. As much as I admire Crouchinio's work ethic & team ethos the rest of the side do seem to reley on the long, high ball to him. Not his fault as he dosen't supply crosses to him-self ! Also I feel he is better recieving the ball on the deck than in the air, he holds it up better and brings others into play. As a partnership him & Pavy don't seem to work but I also think Keane may not be the answer, but the only way to find out is to play him & Pavy . . . . . . .

    yes at last. how many crosses and corners have we put in lately. crouch not on the end of 1 of them. did u see him run lol he cant run or shoot lol. pav was so much better when he was on hes own

    crouch is def worth a place on the bench and he works hard for the team

    I agree that Crouch doesnt perform consistantly enough, although he does work hard. But we tried Pav up front on his own before, and he couldnt cope by himself.

    yea agree he does , but playing the longball we just play certain players out the game, i was screaming at the telly lastnight for someone to get the ball on the floor and get a decent passing game going eventually we did simply because we had no choice after crouch was subbed, RedKnapp i think finally saw that and took crouch of to his dismay , and the shackles were of it felt , maybe we should field 10 from now on lol we do play better

    Les Ferdinand was better at heading than Crouch, and he was half the size.
    I agree with Vis he's much more a technical player than a target man.

    I went to Southampton v's spurs a whie back, and crouch and Harry were the oposition that day. Southampton won and crouch was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. All there football was on the floor that day, and crouch got motm.

    LOL. In view of our new found understanding Lobo, I'll let the sarcasm go as part of your earlier 'pique'.

    I also agree with you and would back up Vis's comment that it's not Crouch but the mentality of the other players. Seeing a tall bloke seems to affect their ability to keep their head over the ball when they pass it. It must be the looking upwards at the 6'7" has them leaning back every time they kick a ball in his direction.

    It's no secret that I like Crouch a lot and feel he's far more skilled than given credit for. Be that as it may, his presence does bring out the worst in our passing game, kills it stone dead actually when I feel, I know, that he would enhance it.

    I think it's too much of an easy option for the other players though ............ 'What do I do? Ummm, ummm, I know, I'll knock it long to Crouchy.'

    It's lazy really and the poor bloke cops so much flack for it.

    Yea i see your point and a good point to, its not his fault and its true he does get a lot of stick, i think crouch is a problem that needs to be resolved, do we play a different style nope

    answer is we need Defoe back, crouch without Defoe is like Starsky without Hutch , the two have a good understanding that actually works really well.

    answer is we need Defoe back, crouch without Defoe is like Starsky without Hutch , the two have a good understanding that actually works really well.

    Funnily enough, if you look back at when the two were on together, Crouch did actually see a lot more balls to feet and had the knack of bringing Lennon into the play as well. I think it had a lot to do with Defoe's movement. Defoe plays right across the back 4, not through the long ball channels meaning that a Crouch flick on would be a waste of time because, more often than not, Defoe wouldn't be in the position to run off a flick, it's not part of his game.

    Crouch has cracking vision and helped with making Lennon look great as the ball was coming square to him, preventing the defence from double teaming him as he would be receiving the ball higher up the pitch rather than having to carry it at the fullback from relatively deep, Crouch also used to lay off the balls that put Lennon in for shooting chances too.

    Maybe this is one of the reasons Lennon hasn't looked the Superstar he did early doors last season.

    Here's a thought, If the team suddenly start playing the ball into his feet and Lennon starts finding space then we'll KNOW that Harry is reading this board!
