Peter Crouch has an excellent goals to games ratio but so many have come either in friendlies or against dog shite (Jamica, Andorra, Belarus) opposition.

Crouch hasn't played many games against top quality opposition.

If you compare their stats in competitive matches then Crouch beats Rooney, with a goal every 134 minutes vs 170 minutes.

He said Crouch hasn't scored many against top quality opposition, which is true except he hasn't had many opportunities to - most of his games have been against shit teams. So not sure it is something you can hold against him and his record.

Just accept it that England are average and have been for years.

International Players need to get the basics right first holding the ball.
You can put all the spin and hype on it what you like but we are miles behind other European Country's.
Starts at kids level and up the 11 kids abroad never play 11 aside games. They learn from 6 aside matches where you are involved more with the ball.

Thankfully that shite is over now and we can look forward to the new season.

I never said he's shit and ofcourse he's the best english striker currently but he isnt living upto to that.

My comment was a general one. Not at you in particular. I agree with your reply though
