Tottenham striker Crouch has put his case forward with 16 goals despite making just 17 England starts, although he knows Capello's preferred shape in attack is Emile Heskey being supported by Wayne Rooney.



On the one hand Heskey provides space for Rooney and Steven Gerrard to exploit, while on the other Crouch provides more of a potent threat, and his last six starts have yielded the same number of goals as Heskey's entire international career seven. Crouch admits he is just happy being part of 'plan B' and cannot complain as Capello's disciplined regime has led to qualifying for the World Cup in emphatic style.
