LAMPARD: CROUCH CAUSED US PROBLEMS
Frank Lampard today admitted Chelsea struggled to cope with the attacking threat of Peter Crouch during Wednesday's Champions League clash.
Crouch was a constant menace to the Chelsea back-line as he won virtually every header and used his skill on the floor to regularly hold up possession for the Reds.
Lampard is expecting another tough contest when Chelsea return to Anfield this weekend and he insists Crouch will once again be the man to watch.
"Every team gives us different problems, and the problem was Crouchy," he said. "He's very good at what he does, holding balls up and trying to bring people into the game and that was something to deal with.
"I could have told you before that Crouchy is one of the best at what he does, he's such a different kind of threat to what you might encounter elsewhere and he does it very well.
"You know when he's playing that he's going to get hit with some long balls and you have to deal with that, but he's got great feet too. Not only does he flick balls on, he brings people into play too.
He's fresh and different."
