Sod Zonal marking then....... man to woman, oh yeah

In short: £17 million is a lot of money and that is the stumbling block in many people's eyes. However, one of the most sought after young, defensive midfielders in world football is at our club, rumoured to be for that price and is happy to stay. Progression, not regression!

That's a bit harsh.......mind you, he was s*** last night!

Spot on. Torres + 1 other. Each of the others has a poor game and the fans on here jump on them like a pack of rabid dogs. Crouch was definitely 4th a month ago with Kuyt and Voronin fighting for 2nd, now Kuyt is b******s, Voronin becoming b******s and Crouch is our saviour. They have all had up and down moments, but if you can't remember Kuyt playing well at the weekend or Voronin against Besiktas, what hope have we got?

No 6. He can't manage the long stretches, he only does cups

After the Arsenal / Man Utd result, the draw was acceptable against an in form team. Yes, we needed to win, yes we could have won, but it will not be acceptable if we don't start taking the full points from our next batch of fixtures.

He had his worst game, get over it. He has not been consistently that poor and still offers a lot to the team. Some will slaughter him anyway, but I for one will acknowledge he had a shocker, but his energy alongside Torres or Crouch in a 4-4-2 is his best role and he will rarely be the hero, moreso the workhorse partner.

Agree with above, except the cat bit

Hey, i ordered the cheeseburger....

No it's not. The hard work has gone from his game and it appears that he has now got Cisse/Defoeitis - you score a goal and you think that should be enough to get a start for the next game. Give me a Kuyt or Keane any day whether they are scoring goals, they are creating them and running their b******s off. Can Crouch get back to that hard working player we knew? Recent post match interviews and the question about rotation and he has mentioned about knocking on Rafa's door. Knock on his door by all means and moan behind close doors, but he just sounds more and more whingey. Work, work, work and you'll have my support. I think Babel is that fourth striker, so we don't really need Crouch, unless we continue to play crap, then at least we will have the long ball game ready and waiting

I wondered when I came onto this forum this morning whether everyone else saw the same woeful perfomance from Momo amongst the team's drudgery. Yes, I think we all agree he was inept, but the vitriol towards him is over the top. The feedback suggests that he was devastated with his own game, so as someone who has put in some cracking matches for us, he still merits our support and we can file this game under 'nightmare'. We will need Momo during the season, so get your head right lad and come back stronger
