We always go on about how good a player is - but this is for you to moan about which players cost teams matches - or just generally annoy you.
I'm starting with Scott Shearer - GK for Bristol Rovers (aka Flapperjack).
He's had about 2-3 clean sheets this season and cost Rovers their home game to Rochdale - one via a penalty (he brought a player down unecessarily) and let in another, which was a very soft goal.
A special mention also goes out Aaron Lescott - a stinker of a game (but he's forgiven - he was played out of position and is usually a good player).
What about yours?

You see again you miss the point. Crouch is a good player and a good striker. He is a little off form but just a little, it is irrelevant because his main quality is obvious. He can head a ball well, again needs to master his technique, and is very clever especially when picking his passes.
Meanwhile his main job is to disrupt, to cause problems. He knows his ability and he knows his footballing importance. One day you will too.

I think I'd choose Koller over Crouch, despite Koller being about fifty now.
It's generally true though, I think, having the tall man in there creates confusion and worry among the defence that creates opportunities for others. Apparently when Johann Cruyff was losing with Barcelona, he'd put a big man on and tell everyone to welly it up to him. And he's one of the best tacticians there has ever been.

And he is good. All people see is that he hasn't scored goals. That isn't his main job, he is a disruptive player. Disrupts the defence and causes enough problems to create oppertunities.

A 6'7 player in the box can only be an advantage.
Would be better if he was good though.

You could argue it was Owen that snatched it away from Crouch.
If crouch wasn't there Owen would not have scored those two goals. I stand by that.

Those that think Peter Crouch is useless clearly know nothing about football.
His presence in the box is terrifying. No matter the team. Against Argentina and Chelsea he had the potential to change the game. In the argentina game it is no secret that crouch came on and then England went from 2-1 down to 3-2 up. His presence draws defenders to him, giving the oppertunity to other strikers to get on the end of things as the defence is not where it should be. In the case of that game, 2 goals for England.
