I picked Lallan, Mitoma, Gross and Dunk plus Burn and White for good measure.

'Mitoma has a very similar game to Tottenham's Son Heung-min'
hmm. Not quite sure what to think of this. At best, it's lazy journalism...

It's journalism exactly the same as what you get from Efan Ekoku and Dion Dublin.

I was going to post something similar. To my eyes, Mitoma's game is not all that similar to Son's. Son is far more an attacking midfielder than a winger. You'd think that people like Grealish or Saka would be better comparators with the type of player that Mitoma is. Considering Crooks' long history of working with Kick It Out and preceding campaigns, you would have expected him to have the awareness to steer well clear of anything that could be seen as unconscious bias.
A mate of mine went to the same church as him. As a teenager, apparently Crooks came across as a tedious, longwinded, pompous tit. There's a turnup for my trousers.
Is this the world cup squad? Trossard isn't in our world cup squad, is he?
Crikey, old fruit, you must lead a very quiet life if the thing that triggered you to write to the BBC this week was someone's ill-chosen fantasy football team
His sister used to lodge with my mate's parents on Hove seafront for a bit when I was a teenager and she was alright (but VERY Churchy). I suspect he got ALL the pompous genes.

I can sympathise with the OP …Points Of View should be entirely devoted to analysing Crooks and moved to prime time TVIs this the world cup squad? Trossard isn't in our world cup squad, is he?

Gross got chosen as the token Albion player for the Everton win...
www.bbc.co.uk
I couldn't compose a team this week without acknowledging Brighton's 4-1 win away at Goodison Park.
There were a number of notable performances from the Seagulls but the goal by Pascal Gross was my favourite and it has put manager Frank Lampard's tenure on Merseyside on skid row.
Everton got a well-earned point at Manchester City last weekend and enough impetus to go into a game against Brighton expecting better things.
What took place was shambolic. I said before the World Cup break that I expected Lampard's time at Everton to be short term and nothing has changed my mind.

The usual split between talking about Gross (in red) and talking about Everton (in blue)
And then all he did was talk about Everton.Gross got chosen as the token Albion player for the Everton win...

B-right-on
Living the dream
And he just looked at the goals? That's pretty much what he said.
Gross's goal? Probably my least favorite as it came from a bad mistake from them.
How about Caicedos millimeter perfect pass to Mitoma and his speed and quick feet and rifled shot?
Or Caicedo/ Mitoma/ Estupinan move onto Sarmiento, on his very first PL start, dinking into the box talking out 2 experienced defenders and laying on a plate for 18 yo Ferguson for a goal on his very first PL start.
Then not to look at the lovely footwork by Solly leaving jug ears on the deck, scoring past 5 defenders and the England goalkeeper between him and the goal.
Yes Gross deserves to be in that team, along with a couple of others imo. But just for the goal?
What an utter utter complete and total

Confirms what most suspect, he just watches the highlights and picks the goal scorers as that tends to be all that is shown in thoseGross got chosen as the token Albion player for the Everton win...

I barley take notice of his or Shearers teams of the week as they are top 6 centric or in Shearers case must include 2 NUFC players, and only from winning teams. Do they watch the games well no they base their expert opinion on a few brief highlights so don't watch the overall performance, a player can have a blinding game ( not just our players but any teams) but be on the loosing side but very rarely do we see these performances acknowledged or even mentioned even if it's a so and so had a great game, scored a screamer, commanded the midfield etc but didn't quite make team of the week
