[Football] Garth Crooks team of the week

[peterward]

Both Dunk and Welbeck this week.

High praise for our Captain too, shame Southgate is blind to his performances.

These three points they took from Leeds, who were shocking in front of goal, just about makes them safe.

I don't see how he can judge that, as they hardly had any chances to show it.

This. Harrison admitted Potter's tactics nullified them and stopped them playing their usual game and Dunk had Bamford in his pocket.

That's not just them being rubbish, it has a lot to do with how we set up and played.

In the same way we set up and Veltman nullified sockboy in our win against Villa.

To be fair to Garth (I can't believe I'm typing that), doesn't that prove his point?

On a slightly related note, I re-watched the end of that game last night. The Lamptey sending off was a shocker, given that Grealish effectively ran into the back of him. And prior to that, he pulled Veltman up after he'd been elbowed. If that was JG, he'd still be rolling around in agony now!

Some more bizarre comments from football’s strangest pundit in his team of the week column:

“As for Brighton, I'm equally confused. Manager Graham Potter is known for his leadership qualities. Which is why I cannot understand, why not just one but two of his players were unable to keep their composure when it mattered and were sent off. It cost Brighton the match and the suspension of their captain and leading goalscorer. What is he telling his players?”

And not just related to us - I know Saka is promising but Mr Crooks already places him above Foden which is clearly ridiculous imo!

Just proves that GC, is as emotional about football as my dustbin.
Clueless!

Well, I clearly heard him shout to Maupay at the final whistle "the ref's a ****ing cheating ****, go on Neal, **** him!" Was it just me?

I mean, where do you even start with that? Why is he even talking about Brighton when it's about Traore?

Well obviously Garth he’s telling the players: “go on! Swear at the ref! Tell him what a **** he is! Oh and Lewis, make sure you do a red card worthy foul if a player runs past you.”

What an absolute dolt this man is.

And no, it’s not being unkind, this man is paid quite handsomely I’m sure out of our license fee money.

...on the plus side, comments like that don't affect his credibility, because it was already at zero. What an absolute twunt.
