Crouch confident despite lengthy goal drought

Peter Crouch has stated that he opted to take the penalty yesterday as he was confident he would open his account for the season:

"I made the decision to take the penalty. I am so desperate to score I will take any chance I can that comes along. I am certainly not going to hide.
"I picked up the ball and felt confident. But it was a fine save and I was just happy Bolo was there to finish it off.
"Maybe the lads won't let me take another one now but I will always be confident and always want the opportunity.
"I wanted it, and I have taken a few before and put it in that corner, but this time I changed my mind at the last minute over what I was going to do. But I have contributed to a good win and that is what is most important, but obviously I am desperate to score at the moment."

Despite the chances he is missing it's very encouraging that Crouch keeps coming back for more. I'm sure his first goal is imminent now the team are creating so many chances. At present he is suffering from bad luck. The ball is not running for him. With more fortune he could have scored a hatrick yesterday.
