Crouch might come across as self-depreciating anti-hero in his podcasts and other media work but as a pundit he is a gormless non-entity who offered fuck all insight apart from the fact he probably would have sulked if asked to have played a role such as Gabby's last night, you know what you get with Ferdinand he can't leave his bitterness and hate at the door and as for Joe a bit like his goal keeping towards the end he is a thick plank when in front of the camera.
I noticed on a recent football ramble podcast the host made a pretty pointed joke about how the listener numbers for Crouchs podcast are apparently shit.

This is the most pointless aspect of 'punditry' (and, as you know, there are many). They sit there, as ex-players, and tell us not one thing that offers any insight. The camel and Neville do it very occasionally, Zabba has a go, Souness is often good, Lampard was shaping up to be useful and Henry, when you can follow him, can be ok. There was an Italian who was on during one of the world cups who was excellent. What you want from last night is some sort of idea as to what it is like playing in Madrid and or big games.Crouch might come across as self-depreciating anti-hero in his podcasts and other media work but as a pundit he is a gormless non-entity who offered fuck all insight apart from the fact he probably would have sulked if asked to have played a role such as Gabby's last night, you know what you get with Ferdinand he can't leave his bitterness and hate at the door and as for Joe a bit like his goal keeping towards the end he is a thick plank when in front of the camera.
Then, when Otamendi and Rodri make that mistake, some explanation of why stuff like that happens to players. Is it the setting, over-confidence, did something else lead to it? Not "he made a huge error and he will be disappointed with that". Why did the fullback dive in on Raz? Was he panicking, did he just mistime it, what else might he have done? Instead we just get the usual rubbish about him 'staying on his feet and he will be disappointed with that'; I could do that and for considerably less cash....

they're pundits, not mind-readers. I doubt Carvajal could tell you what he was thinking, he was just being a tit.

Fortunately not. Just sounds like you want Derren Brown to provide post-match analysis "well, I read Ramos's mind..."

Watching the game back again today and started with the BT coverage (uuuggghhhh!). Took them 9 minutes to figure out that Jesus was playing down the left and not centrally. Okay, granted he started as traditional forward but switched after first couple of minutes. Goes to show the tactical nous of BT's front line commentary team of "Fletch" & McPointyman. Needless to say these two didn't come out for the 2nd half.
