Crouch: Gerrard could play 70

Peter Crouch has praised Steven Gerrard and said that he believes he could play 70 games a season. Crouch also emphasised that he will be staying at Liverpool in January and has no intention of leaving.

The striker said: "I don't want to go anywhere and unless I am told otherwise I will certainly be at Liverpool in February.

"I haven't started the last two games but did start the two before that. I think I'll be involved and get the right amount of games to be happy. If I perform in those games I'm sure the manager will want to keep me.”

"I'd like to play in every game but the manager likes to rest players and select players for each individual match.”

"I don't think any player apart from Steven Gerrard can play 70 games a season!"
