Official Liverpool Thread

Off times? He rarely has an on-day. He was good for Real Madrid, but hasn't been for Liverpool.

And did anyone see Harry Kewell's wife on I'm a Celeb saying that he wants to go play in Italy or Spain? Dumb bitch, wouldn't surprise me if he left in January.

Another game, another goal-less performance from Crouch.

And way to boo during the one minute silence in George Best's honour, very classy Liverpool.

Crouch may not have been brought in to be a consistent goal-scorer, but with Liverpool needing goals, I'd sooner drop him for one than keep someone who currently can't score for shit. Ideally, you need a half decent striker and Crouch is about as far as one as humanly possible at the minute.

If you did drop Crouch, who would you bring on? Cisse and Morientes have proven not to be regualr performers, never mid goalscorers. At least Crouch consistently plays well, and he sets up chances for other people - Nando and Cisse are greedy buggers.

And Cisse is the most overrated player in the premiership. £14 million? I wouldnt pay £14 for what hes done and what they're payin him.

If Liverpool were to buy a striker, who would they buyu? None of the world-class strikers want to come to Anfield, and all the decent Spanish strikers are taken (because we all no that Rafa will look at Spain first to buy a striker), so the Reds might as well stick with Crouch. You don't score 16 goals for a team as poor as Southampton and suddenly become a bad player (mind you, good players who move to liverpool normally go rubbish e.g. Kewell, Morientes).

Plus, I don't know if it's been mentioned, but it took Henry 21 games to score for Arsenal, and he's the best striker in the prem (and probably the world) now.

[therockbox]

But Cisse's only real attribute is his pace, at least Crouch has the ability to bring others into play - which, surprise surprise, he did against Manchester City.

And I'm not surprised he didn't score yesterday, the 'chances' MotD showed as well as the bloke covering it on Gillette Soccer Saturday suggests it was hardly a chance filled game.

For those who don't know, Liverpool are 1-0 up against Wigan, with Peter Crouch getting his first goal. Dunno hpw good the goal is, but it says 25 yards on the BBC game text thing.

[Guest muddatrucker]

Bwahahaha, make that 2-0 to Peter Crouch.

[ONO]

For fucks sake.

I was going to put a £5 bet on that he wouldn't score till January. Ah well.

[Liam]

Yeah, its always hard to tell on the BBC Text service, as it just says "25 yards", and thats it.

Apparently his second goal was a lob from the edge of the area, but again, I'll wait to see that...

[therockbox]

The first goal was his, it was going in anyway.

And you know it's our day when Luis Garcia scores with his chest despite playing shit.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

I'm no fan of Crouch but he was brilliant today. Debatable about the first, but the second was great stuff. Pretty exciting game, easily the best I've seen Crouch play too.

[Liam]

They've credited the first goal as an own goal, apparently.

[pigeon]

Made up for Crouch. He's been quality since he joined us. He'll never be prolific, but if he can play as well as he has and add the occasional goal I'll be delighted.

15 clean sheets in 19 Premiership and Champs league games for Pepe Reina now by the way.

I'd agree with that call, it would have been over the bar if Pollitt was anywhere near competent.
