I am Peter Crouch's height(well an inch shorter) so when I watch him play I understand the space ratios and stuff. He'll often take down a pass and 'lose' it but gain it back VERY quickly. One step for him isn't the same as one step for Gerrard and Crouch's one step to collect the ball would be two steps for Gerrard.
This is why I'm not very impressed with his touch but I find his ability to regain the ball pretty great. It doesn't help when hes being double guarded or is in tight quarters though. He doesn't have a tendancy to lose the ball in his feet but he doesn't exactly keep it on a string, either.
