I've always thought Crouch is better on the ground than in the air - he's got great control. And his long legs help him keep the ball away from defenders.
Stoke fan here ARE you HAPPY now? WHAT is wrong with Manccini he should MAN UP? re no interview. I told you we could give them a good game and as for Crouch does that beat Rooney's overhead kick? You will NOT see a better individual goal ANYWHERE this season. NOW go win the title.
Probably afraid he'd give SAF more ammo with which to shoot him down. I notice Tevez came off the bench ten minutes later today, despite being fitter than midweek and City going a goal down at roughly the same stage in the match. Maybe Mancini didn't want to appear desperate? SAF wins another one
well done stoke, mighty performance, only didnt get all 3 points by virtue of a lucky deflection. britannia is a fortress this season.
