Crouch receives yet more praise

You would think Peter Crouch is one of the world's best players based on the amount praise he has been receiving recently. This time Wayne Rooney has leapt to his defence citing the important contribution he made for England as a 2nd half substitute:

Rooney said: "Crouchy was brilliant when he came on in the second half. He definitely gave us a different sort of option up front which is good to have.
"Over the past few weeks Peter has been given quite a bit of stick at times, but he's played well, kept his head down and worked hard.
"He was probably the main influence on us going on to win the game. For the crosses into the box, the defenders were more worried about him - which created the space for Michael to score."

Sven is also in no doubts about the value of Peter Crouch to the team:

"Maybe the crowd will stop booing him now. He showed again that he's a special type of player and he was very important for us when he came on."

And Djib believes that Peter Crouch deserves a goal from his performances and will do his best to setup some goalscoring chances for him to open his account:

"We all want Peter to score. If I play with him, I am going to do my best to give him the ball.
"He deserves to score. I know when he starts to score it will be hard for him to stop.''

Hopefully, with the praise Crouch is receiving, he will remain confident despite his goal drought. Although it's almost embarrassing to be on the receiving end of so much praise and it keeps the spotlight on him.
