Rafa Benitez made a side successful in spain with a big target man, and a defencive game
That target man was John Carew
He has tried to create the same said situation by signing crouch, but he has fallen for the 3 card trick that every manager, pundit and commentator have follow for, for years assuming that Crouch is good in the air
Crouch isn't Carew, hes a ball to feet striker that might get on the end of a cross
It's Benitez that needs the criticism of why Crouch isn't doing well because he has bought the wrong player for his system
Crouch isn't a rubbish player, he is far from it
