If Crouch is out third best in the air, then, for such a big side, we're crap in the air.

 

Work rate thing is about spot on. Shame it's not more in doubt. Where's Gerrard?

 

I know what you're saying about Crouch, ie he isn't a great header of the ball and I'd agree.

 

However, in all honestly we really aren't that fantastic in the air for a big side.

 

Fact is if anyone's going to score with a header its going to be Hyypia or Crouch so I had to put him in there really. I was actually tempted to put Garcia in, he is a good little header of the ball when he gets the opportunity.

 

Stevie is number one for influencing others, dribbling and shooting as well as inclusions in passing and technical ability so I'd say he gets a fair mention!

Crouch is s*** at heading. I'd have Kewell, Gerrard and Garcia ahead of him.

Garcia's fantastic with his head for his size, he really is. That little flicked header he scored last year, it was BEAUTIFUL. But yeah, the likes of Riise (six two, isn't he?), Carragher, Sissoko, etc - amazing we don't seem to get the headers from corners and the like.

 

I meant that Gerrard was conspicuously absent from the work rate top three - something that would never have been the case not so long ago.

Aye, wouldn't have Gerrard in for "Passing" or "Intelligence".

 

I must sound like one of those "Gerrard is rubbbish" idiots, I don't mean to.

 

Or influencing others, does that mean encouraging others or influencing the game, if it means the latter then yes but I wouldn't say he encourages anyone.

I suppose you think Jenas is a great passer of the ball? He never gives it away...

It probably needs another category to be honest - Gerrard is capable of amazing passes - but generally speaking gives the ball away far, far too much.

 

Whereas, for instance, Alonso is capable of amazing passes but generally speaking retains possession for us (I know he's had a few howlers for us this season - but that hopefully is a temporary thing)

"Keeping possession" and then "Incisive passing"?

Kuijt would be pissed off at getting overlooked for "keeping possession".

 

The fact that he retains possession through mighty flicks and first-time play-switching might push him into "incisive passing" though.

Was just about to suggest Garcia.

 

That header was the year before last against Leverkusen wasn't it (knew exact,ly what he was doing and looped it on the turn from 18 yards).

A number of the first team squad have said that Pongolle has amazing technical skills and regularly dazzles in training.
