Peter Crouch was happy to have showed his full potential once given 90 minutes of playing time. He avenged Liverpool’s defeat against Arsenal and at the same time proved his worth to the team despite his second team status.

The player who has the height of a basketball player and skills of a footballer scored a hat-trick on an array of skills and goal on each foot and head.

Peter Crouch does not belong to the first team in the World Cup despite scoring a hat-trick against Jamaica before the 2006 FIFA World Cup as well as first team at Anfield despite his scoring efficiency in the league by scoring 28 goals since joining Liverpool in 2005 despite his limited playing time.

They failed to sign Lucas Neil, Ben Haim, Matteo Ferrari and Sol Campbell to fill-in their defensive gap which is a necessity if they hope to catch Manchester United in the standings. As I have reported Jose Mourinho said he isn’t paying any crazy amount and would rather see his 55-year-old assistant play for the position, Yeah right!

Desperate to sign someone in the transfer window, they have now focused their attention on Wes Ham’s Anton Ferdinand in the hope to lure him for $25m. He is the brother of Rio Ferdinand, ironically of Manchester United. It would be interesting to see if he signs with Chelsea making both of them battle it out with their respective rival teams.

There are a lot of factors why the group would not want to offer Newcastle anything; but still, I wonder what did the guys see on the books of the club.
