Crouch critical of Liverpool form

Peter Crouch has come out and openly criticised Liverpool's current form after their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Monday.

He said: "It's not good enough and we've fallen a long way behind.

"We've got good enough talent in the dressing room and we should be doing better than the position we're in."

Some believe that due to the rumours of another potential takeover is taking its toll on the players. Crouch however denies this.

"It's nothing to do with the players," he said.

"We've just got to concentrate on the job on the pitch and we're still positive in the dressing room.

"First and foremost now we have to cement a Champions League spot for next year."
