Crouch is an excellent player, but he was completely misused. He's great when he's up in front with another forward or two, but you can't play him up front alone. It's just silly. He doesn't have the pace or agility to be a lone forward. Crouch would have made a better impact earlier on in the game. And why Lennon wasn't in the starting 11 is beyond me. That guy was carving up the Portuguese defence.
