Garth crooks team of the week today

FANS are convinced that Garth Crooks has a grudge against two clubs after reading his team of the week column. The pundit wrote his weekly story for the BBC as he reflected on the weekend's Premier League action. Both derby matches were marred by refereeing controversy as Liverpool beat Everton and Chelsea were held by Arsenal. The Merseyside encounter saw Craig Pawson send off Ashley Young for two bookable offences while Ibrahima Konate escaped a second yellow after a similar foul. And some believe the Blues got a fortunate penalty when William Saliba was judged to have handled the ball in the area. Crooks went through his team of the week, focusing on praising most of the players such as, Kieran Trippier, James Maddison , Douglas Luiz and Bryan Mbeumo. But when the former Tottenham striker included Arsenal's Declan Rice and Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah , his approval was short as he instead took the chance to hit out at officials. Crooks' paragraph on the Dutch defender read : "Was Everton's Ashley Young's sending off for a second bookable offence really necessary? Young's tackle was a genuine one to try and win the ball. Konate's challenge on Beto was cynical and crude and what the yellow card was designed for. He continued to fume when discussing Salah, saying: "Referee Pawson's inability to show some discretion in the Merseyside derby exposed him once he failed to exercise any consistency. It's time Salah had a word with Diaz.

Ten years after the Malaysian Airlines flight disappeared, new technology may explain why. Does James Tarkowski or Ben Godfrey understand the perilous situation Everton find themselves and why they can't afford to be reckless in their own box?

Garth Crooks explains why he picked Lewis Miley in his Premier League team of the week and then the full eleven are listed below:. The team are bursting with good professionals who will look after him. Lewis Miley was of course excellent when coming off the bench and of course scored that vital opening goal. However, there was only one man of the match on Saturday and that was Bruno Guimaraes. He was another level compared to anybody else on the pitch and as well as his skill, his commitment in winning through four or five challenges to lay on that goal for the 17 year old, was just superb. Whilst it went to the sublime when Bruno put in that cross with the outside of his boot for Burn to add the third.

Here are this week's choices. And as ever, Garth also discusses the game's big talking points in the Crooks of the Matter. The save was an important one and set Spurs up for their second clean sheet in consecutive games. The Italian goalkeeper made another excellent save in the second half when Raul Jimenez had his shot parried by the keeper with the goal at his mercy. Clean sheets win titles and whilst I am not suggesting for one minute Spurs will win the league, they currently sit two points clear at the top of the table and deservedly so. Vicario has finally brought a calm stability back to the Tottenham penalty area. The two-touch finish was as clean as I have seen from a full-back. It was a pity for Sheffield United as this was the best performance I've seen from them this season and I thought they were worthy of a point.

Here are this week's choices and, as ever, Garth also discusses the game's big talking points in the Crooks of the Matter. Caoimhin Kelleher Liverpool : Caoimhin Kelleher makes my team selection once again this time ahead of Alphonse Areola, whose penalty save against Everton and general performance placed him in contention for the number one spot. However, the importance of Liverpool's clean sheet in their win at Nottingham Forest cannot be overstated. Anthony Elanga was clean through on goal, but the forward couldn't get past the Republic of Ireland keeper. By this time in the match it was pretty obvious that Kelleher was still basking in the afterglow of his Carabao Cup final performance and it was going to take something quite special to beat him. The fact that Forest were incapable of putting the ball into the back of the Liverpool net having created so many chances should be of far greater concern to manager Nuno Espirito Santo and the club's owner Evangelos Marinakis, than the controversy surrounding the referee Forest are claiming cost them the game. His headed goal from a corner was as good as I've seen from a defender. He was head and shoulders above everyone else in the box. The West Ham skipper may not be the most comfortable defender on the ball but has an enormous leap from a standing jump and he is a ferocious competitor.

Matthew Upson Matthew Upson. Playing pretty football is fine but there comes a time when the home side have to compete, especially when the opposition are better than you. Once Van de Ven left the pitch Romero took control and looked immense. Crooks has already caused controversy this season after his comments about Luton were labelled "disrespectful" by their manager Rob Edwards. Alex Scott Alex Scott. City had, after all, provided him with trophies and the most successful period in his glittering career. In fact some might have considered his time in top-flight football to be coming to an end. However, the dismissal of Kalvin Phillips in West Ham's defeat was desperately poor. This obsession with putting the ball in dangerous areas and leaving your team-mate to deal with the problem is becoming a horrible feature in the modern game. However, what was more troubling was that referee Robert Jones refused to do anything about it, even though the Brentford defenders were waving an imaginary card in the air in an attempt to bring the incident to his attention. It was finished again by Gomes, who had the most inspired afternoon. Well he did just that and in his first season in top-flight football has scored 11 Premier League goals. Chris Sutton Chris Sutton. Sheffield United have a rich history and a reputation to protect - and it should be protected.

Here are this week's choices. And as ever, Garth also discusses the game's big talking points in the Crooks of the Matter.

Tuesday 30 January — Aston Villa v Newcastle 8. They are clearly enjoying playing for him and their style of play is great to watch. Liverpool v Manchester City. One said: "Big fan of Garth Crooks selecting Liverpool players in his team of the week through gritted teeth, and using it as an opportunity moan about someone else. The only United player that showed any real endeavour was Garnacho. Son's one-touch finish against Aston Villa demonstrated the versatility of the striker. This wasn't a dirty match full of pernicious tackles but a full-blooded Premier League fixture. In fact, Wimbledon became quite famous for intimidating the opposition in the tunnel. Rio Ferdinand Rio Ferdinand. Odegaard went on to make Burnley's life even more miserable with a lovely assist for Bukayo Saka's second goal and generally ran the show.
