He's more of a midfielder than a striker.
Things only got better when Crouch came on. At least he harasses the central defenders into mistakes. Gerrard's left shot came after Crouch challenged for a ball.
We need to buy someone like Drogba... Hate to say that....

It's not target man per se that we need but how we play the strikers. Kuyt can of course be target man but Rafa wants him to get the ball deeper. It's the tactics. Of course it's true that if you have a winger system, then it's silly if you don't have a target man in the box for the crosses.
