Rafa last season said that 13 goals wasn't enough from his top striker. Why this fixation on the belief that he doesn't want his strikers to score. Just because you may happen to like them doesn't mean that they are doing their job in it's entirety.
I know he didn't save it but to even get that close was incredible. Heskey shouldn't have given reina a chance last night Peschisolido was given offside anyway so tehcnically it didn't happen but it was super
He's slimmer than he was when he scored against the mancs and that was only about 3 weeks ago. I don't think rafa should let kewell and him have a break in the summer
He did look well pissed off at having to be taken off on the hour mark AGAIN. Dunno what he said to mori but mori smiled. Apparently Mori's english isn't the best so maybe Crouch said "It should be you going off you useless c***" and Mori just did that smile thing you do when you didn't hear what someone said but you can't be arsed getting them to repeat. Crouchy's form hasn't been all that since Everton (neither have we actually so maybe it's not a coincidence) even though he scored the game after that.
Why did he try and buy Owen and then sign Fowler? How come Mista got 24 in rafa's last season That's a ridiculous statistic. No one gets 30 assists. Henry had one incredible season where he got something like 28goals and 21 assists but that was the best player in the world playing as well as he can
Was annoyed at not burying relegation candidates who had 10 men for an age. Agree with David Hodgson that we haven't hit the heights since the Bolton game. The las time we played really well and won was the derby. We were lright v WBA. Certainly haven't matched the Newcy performance for a while.
Behave I wondered about the ease with which Kewell barged him but then kewell's got about 5stone on most players nowadays For some reason that made me laugh
In all seriousness there were about 3-4 clearances he could have done better with and heskey and sutton looked like they may bully him a couple of times but hasn't he only just got fit. The english game can be a bit unique in terms of throwing forward lines like that at you.
