Garth Crooks Team of the week

[RBM]

I know it’s more general, but it’s vital reading for it’s pure weirdness, and the weekly crow barring of Klopp criticism in there is the cherry on the cake. It’s great riveting stuff.

 

A few gems this week

 

Mohamed Salah: How do you score 41 goals in one season? That's more than some Premier League teams have scored.

 

Salah's goal at West Brom on Saturday was another exquisite chip beyond the advancing Ben Foster. However, Jurgen Klopp's suggestion that the Albion pitch not being watered at half-time was somehow responsible for his team losing a two-goal lead is about as pathetic as it gets.

 

Salomon Rondon: I've gone on record as saying I don't think Salomon Rondon is good enough for Premier League football and that's probably why West Brom are staring at relegation.

 

That said, I can't fault his effort and that is why I have chosen Rondon instead of Alexandre Lacazette, who scored twice for Arsenal on Sunday.

 

The Venezuela international scored a sensational goal against a Liverpool side who had two eyes firmly fixed on their midweek Champions League game against Roma.

 

The Reds made five changes to their starting line-up, let a two-goal lead slip from their grasp and made a poor substitution. Yet manager Jurgen Klopp thinks he had nothing to do with this 2-2 result. Wow!

 

Danny Ings: It was great to see Danny Ings back in a Liverpool shirt and looking so effective. Two years he spent recovering from injury and, from the look on his face, putting Liverpool 1-0 up must have felt like winning the lottery.

 

Why Jurgen Klopp took off the striker, I don't know. Ings needs game time and was running Ahmed Hegazi ragged at the time. The West Brom central defender must have been delighted to see Ings substituted. Liverpool's game started to fall apart the moment the striker left the field.

[Benzo-13]

Crooks is an absolute balloon.

[Falconhoof]

He’s definitely got a thing about Klopp.

[Begbie]

He does seem to be really angry with Klopp on a weekly basis. Odd, but then the man is the definition of the word

 

Bet this is a real issue for Klopp...

The Salah paragraph is fabulous. He seems to think putting “however” between the two sentences somehow connects praise for the goal and another massively crowbarred criticism of klopp. Majestic.

 

Weird bellend oddball.

[The Hitman]

Has anybody checked in on Garth recently? I am worried about him.

[cymrococh]

Don't send Jurgen.

The one with him being fuming at Bakayoko's blue hair is still an absolute work of art. 

 

Every player who gets picked, mentions the blue hair.

Him picking Jack Butland when he dropped the ball into his own goal, costing his team 2 points, and those would be helpful right now.....
