Owen was in front of Crouch, so that's a nonsense for a start.
The reason Crouch was signed is because he's an obvious aerial threat and sucks in defenders. Intelligent people who observe the occasional bit of football can see why, the knuckle scraping imbeciles that boo him don't see why.

Your opinion.. but rarely is he marked by more than one defender.
Benitez was often looking for a "big man small man" combo by signing him, but my point is that he has no real strength to hold up the ball for players around him. Only his height sets him apart. He is very average with the ball at his feet too.

He is double marked repeatedly, one behind and one in front - usually from dead ball situations.simmy said:
He shouldn't be used to hold up the ball particularly (his height would be mostly wasted in this situation), although he will do that just as any forward will from time to time. He should be there to head the ball on for runners in and around the box and to head crosses, which is what he does.

i don't think there's any before apart from Di Stefano (49) that ahead as they simply didn't play the same amount of games

Yes but you used to get really weak teams competing. Back in the '50s and '60s when it was in its infancy, United used to regularly hammer teams with scores similar to 10-0 in the earlier rounds - only when you got to the QF did you get any competition, as a rule. United made at least the semis in every year they competed in the two decades.superkingdave said:
As such, I'd have thought strikers would have hammered a fair few in. I just can't find any stats anywhere to see how many exactly they got.

What attribute does he have that elevates him above mediocrity exactly?marc71178 said:

Slightly surprised at Ajax's score... Craig won't be best pleased.

I bet it was a tough choice for those with Sky, whether to watch Chelsea v Barcelona or Finland v Great Britain...
