(I really hope it is as he says, wingers getting the crosses in, rather than hoofball to him?, I'm sure we all saw what happened last night with Big Dunc, as it invariably always does when he's on the pitch)
BENITEZ: CROUCH NEEDS BETTER SERVICE
Steve Hunter 30 September 2005
Rafael Benitez said he has been happy with the performances of striker Peter Crouch so far and feels he needs better service into the penalty area. The Liverpool manager says he is well aware of the need to give the likes of Crouch and Fernando Morientes better service and is working hard on this during training at Melwood.

Benitez said: "When we decided to sign Crouch we knew we needed to give him service and we need more time to work on that. He is a very good player and he is playing well for us. He can hold the ball up for us, he is good in the air and good on the ground.
"We must support him better as soon as possible. It's difficult at the moment and we have tried using Cisse, Sinama-Pongolle and Luis Garcia on the right to try and get him crosses. People say we need to cross a lot of balls for him and I know that."
