Baines and Peter Crouch

Is everyone serious about Crouch?! Hes a poor player, he really is poor. Hes terrible in the air and the only reason he causes any type of problem is because players cant believe his legs are so skinny and they get a bit confused to how he stays standing.

Baines in my opinion is a very good left back, hes pacey, can pass and gets stuck into a tackle. Its a dilemma because I think Baines offers more going forward in a wing back type of way rather than Lescott. Lescott is the nuts at centre back and then going forward for set pieces. But Jags has been fantastic- he had a blip against West Ham and Fulham but I fully expect him to be at his best come Sunday.

Who is the everyone Mick, please count me out, I'm with you as I think the majority are. My daughter heads a better ball than he does

Count me out as well - If we're going for a big guy then why not the biggest of the all Jan Koller of FC Nuremberg, he scored a beauty against Denmark on Wednesday and caused all sorts of problems. I know I know it was the Danish defence consisting of Villa's Laursen, Ulrik Laursen of OB(in DK) and Kroldrup, so not much competition there. But I was impressed with Koller and his likn up play.
