Watching peter Crouch I am becoming more and more annoyed by woeful performances. I know he is on his own up front but especially today -

Falls over easily

Gets easily pushed over

Takes an extra touch and loses the ball

Gets free headers straight to the keeper or over the bar

Wins the first ball then easily dis-possessed

Ok has a decent flick-on but normally comes to nothing

Never looks likely to score, even one on one

Set up the equaliser today didn't he? Might not be the greatest player in the world but VDV wouldn't look half as good alongside anyone else in your team.

The ball came back off his midriff - hardly set it up

VDV is quality and Crouch is not the reason why.

I believe we really are wasting our time feeding crosses and chances to him.

Would much rather start with Pav.

Someone with Berbatov's quality when at Spurs makes Crouch as a lone striker look like a school boy

Clearly stating what I think - Is this why we Spurs fans have low regard

Crouchy is held in high esteem, but is so mediocre.

His international goals record is good, but not just today, for a while he is looking ordinary. For someone with his height he should be hitting the target. he can't hold up the ball.

I don't want to see the back of him one day, then welcome him back with open arms - ie Rooney.

Just think we need to look elsewhere - soon

Everytime i see that lanky striker on the field...i just cant help but laugh at how utterly ridiculous he looks playing as a striker...lolworthy laughs are had by me and my mates:p

But seriously hes not that bad in all honesty...he didnt have a great game but then i cant remember the last time he had a great game tbh:p.

He does have his uses though...his height helps puts defenders off, needs to work on his heading skills me thinks.

This is it - the last time he had a good game, when?

Scores critical goals at times - agreed.

But, one goal that counts every now and then is not enough.

As much as I'd like to agree with you Marouane Chamakh has scored 11 goals already this season.

Yes, and if he was 6ft whatever Crouch is, Chamakh would probably have scored a lot more than this.

This is why Crouch is pants

Inter. His hold up play was the reason we didn't suffer the biggest defeat in CL history.

Then Keane came on and did nothing.

Thought the reason for this defeat was poor defending

but upmost surely Bales superhuman performance 2nd half stopped the biggest defeat in CL History

Don't see how Crouch stopped them doing anything.
 
A comparison of Crouch -

Crouch and his height against someone like Les Ferdinand in his day.

Sir Les was fantastic in the air and could hold a ball up, with pace and finishing.

Crouch?
 
Desperate for us to secure a decent striker and a centre back in January.

Can't wait for defoe and dawson to return.
