Since Tim Howard made his arrival to Everton, he has been a consistent starter for the Premier League club and the current campaign is no different as he is the preferred choice of Roberto Martinez.

Everton went through one of their toughest matches of the season as they travelled to Stamford Bridge in order to play against Chelsea and they suffered a 1-0 loss during the last few seconds of the match. If they could have secured a draw, then Everton could have seen themselves ahead of Manchester United in the Premier League standings.

Tim Howard had his work cut out as he made a number of saves throughout the entire match against Chelsea but at the 93rd minute, John Terry was able to put the ball past the American goalkeeper and despite being able to make 7 saves in the entirety of the encounter, it wasn’t enough for Everton to hold on to the draw.

Peter Crouch is reportedly wanted by the Championship club Queens Park Rangers. Harry Redknapp who is in charge at QPR has already worked with the veteran striker quite a few times in the past and he is interested to do that again.

Crouch who has become 33 years old now has been in fine form at Stoke this season. His league goals’ tally for the season reads 6 and that clearly suggests how well he has played for the Potters.

Crouch is one of those players who have changed clubs frequently during his playing career. He has been active in professional arena for about 15 years and in that period; he has already played for 12 clubs. He doesn’t usually stick to a club for more than a couple of years.

However, he has been at Stoke City since quite some time now. He had landed at the Britannia Stadium in August 2011 and he has already spent 2 and half years there.

Tottenham recently sacked Andre Villas-Boas and have replaced Tim Sherwood as the new first-team coach. Stoke city striker Peter Crouch has said that his former club will be able to rediscover the impressive form under the new manager.

Tottenham have been billed as a strong favourite for the top four this season, but a poor run of form in recent weeks has resulted in the club slipping down the table. They recently lost 5-0 at the hands of Liverpool – one of their top four rivals. Crouch is someone who knows Sherwood well and he says that the new manager will be able to get Spurs out of their troubles.

Former England international Peter Crouch is one of the main strikers at Stoke city, but he was not in the best of shapes when Mark Hughes took over the club from Tony Pulis at the start of the season.

After a run of poor results, Stoke slowly appear to be finding the form that is necessary for them to finish mid-table.

The form of Peter Crouch has been a major reason for their recent run of good results, and Hughes has praised the striker. He has said that Crouch has been working extremely hard in training, which is starting to show in his form.

Crouch did not have much competition for positions when Hughes arrived at the club, but the arrival of a new manager has worked to the benefit of the striker. He has been working hard to impress the new man, who is also attempting to change the style of football at the club. Pulis was more interested in the results than the style of football, which led to some dour football.

Peter Crouch is back in action with a bang. The 32 years old forward who had been warming the bench since the last one month or so was brought back into the Stoke line-up for the Capital One Cup game against Tranmere Rovers and he justified his selection with an impressive performance. He was one of the two goal scorers for Stoke in the game.

Talking to the reporters at the end of the match, Crouch said, “A goal is a goal, no matter when you score it, at the beginning or at the end.”

“My father came all the way from London to see this game and I am happy that he didn’t return disappointed.”
“I hadn’t featured in the last few games, but, I had in my mind that I might be starting this game. So, I was prepared for it.”

“I am thankful to Mark Hughes that he kept me on the field for the whole game. I enjoyed every single minute of my time out there.”

Former Tottenham and Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has stated that he would one day like to return to the England national team if he is recalled. The striker has not officially retired, but he has not been called up for the national team duty in the last three years.

His last match was against France in a friendly encounter back in 2010. At 32 years of age, he does not have a long time left in football. However, he would be one of the experienced strikers for Roy Hodgson at the 2014 World Cup. He made his debut for the national team in 2005.

After a miserable season, which saw manager Tony Pulis lose his job, striker Peter Crouch believes that the club can turn the corner by managing to win a trophy in the upcoming season. Stoke have come close to winning a trophy as they have reached the final of competitions like the FA Cup in the past.

However, the optimism after the initial years of spending in the Premier league under Pulis has been waning in recent years. Stoke managed to wins only three matches in the league last season and they were almost relegated last season.
