XABI BACKS REDS' STRIKERS
Xabi Alonso believes Liverpool can boast the best striking partnership in English football.
Despite missing out on bringing Michael Owen back to Anfield, the Reds' Spanish midfielder reckons in Peter Crouch, Djibril Cisse and Fernando Morientes Liverpool have enough attacking options to rival anything else in the Premiership.
He said: "Peter Crouch was a particularly good signing and I'm sure he'll be a big help to us in trying to win all the competitions this year.
"As everyone knows he is very, very tall and near him I feel very small. People will talk about Peter Crouch in a positive way this season and I think he will go on to play many more games for England.
"But Crouch is not only a target man - he also has very good quality on the ball. With Fernando Morientes and Crouch we can have the best attack in the country. They will make life crazy for opposition defenders this season, along with Djibril Cisse of course."
