Garth Crooks' Team of the Week: Mitrovic, Casemiro, Bowen, Lindelof, Mitoma

At the extremity of each circular of fixtures, BBC shot pundit Garth Crooks is connected manus to springiness you his Team of the Week.

David Raya (Brentford): The archetypal prevention from the caput of Richarlison was satellite class, but the betterment to prevention the 2nd effort from the aforesaid subordinate was rather remarkable. Raya's show astatine Spurs was precise overmuch successful keeping with the remainder of his team. The 2 saves by Raya didn't conscionable springiness Brentford the assurance to proceed successful the aforesaid vein they had played passim the match, it galvanised them. Brentford were amended than Spurs successful each section and Raya was cardinal to their 3-1 victory. Running Spurs astatine the infinitesimal can't beryllium overmuch fun. They can't pull a top-class manager, a Champions League decorativeness is present retired of the question and the squad is being tally by a novice. I wonderment what's next.

Rico Henry (Brentford): It was Rico Henry's superb throw-in that acceptable up the determination for Bryan Mbeumo to score. The defender past saw the information with his goalkeeper retired of position, and Emerson Royal astir to score, moved brilliantly to wide a definite extremity disconnected the line. It's not that often you find a full-back who plays specified a important relation successful 2 incidents that person specified an tremendous bearing connected the game. Meanwhile, I perceive Ryan Mason wants the Spurs job. Has helium not seen what taking managerial jobs earlier the manager is acceptable has done to Steven Gerrard astatine Aston Villa, Graham Potter astatine Chelsea and Frank Lampard astatine Everton? Yet helium thinks helium tin negociate Tottenham Hotspur. I wonderment what helium thinks helium tin bash that Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte couldn't. The specified information that Mason has enactment his sanction guardant and the thought fixed information tells maine the precise authorities successful which the shot nine finds itself.

Yerry Mina (Everton): What a delight it was to spot a banner asking the Everton players to 'fight for us' alternatively of placards focusing connected boardroom matters. Well, Everton did conscionable that and fought close to the past infinitesimal astatine Wolves, yet getting the 1-1 gully their efforts deserved. He's not my favourite Everton subordinate but Yerry Mina has a wont of popping up with the occasional goal, but helium won't people a much important extremity than his equaliser astatine Molineux. Leeds United's hearts indispensable person sank erstwhile the effect came in. The Toffees present play Bournemouth astatine location successful their past crippled of the play with everything to play for. Everton fans should marque definite they instrumentality that banner with them.

Victor Lindelof (Manchester United): Ever since Victor Lindelof played successful the FA Cup semi-final and scored the winning penalty, the defender has not looked back. His performances person been outstanding and helium played a salient portion successful helping Manchester United support a cleanable expanse in their 1-0 triumph astatine Bournemouth. With 2 Premier League games near to play, United present look acceptable to decorativeness successful the apical four. They person already won the Carabao Cup, are successful the FA Cup last and look acceptable to instrumentality to the Champions League signifier adjacent season. Such ambitions would person been retired of the question earlier Erik 10 Hag and a definite Casemiro arrived connected the scene. However, Lindelof has returned aft a spell connected the attraction array and fitted successful softly and without immoderate fuss. He's timed his instrumentality brilliantly.

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United): When Kieran Trippier walked into St James' Park, Newcastle United were warring relegation. No-one could perchance person thought astatine the clip that the aforesaid subordinate would beryllium starring them into the Champions League 2 seasons later. Trippier has shown courageousness and fortitude, and that is wherefore he's made my selection. The Magpies needed a constituent against Leicester to halt Liverpool from catching them - and got it with a 0-0 draw. Leicester needed to triumph to clasp their ain destiny, and present indispensable bushed West Ham astatine location connected Sunday and anticipation Everton suffer astatine location to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, the nighttime belonged to Newcastle who, since the takeover by Amanda Staveley and her consortium, person conducted themselves brilliantly by investing successful a proven young English manager who has had the astir bonzer season. Now they are successful the Champions League it volition beryllium absorbing to spot however Eddie Howe and his backroom unit attack a tourney the nine past participated successful 20 years ago. Congratulations Newcastle - your fans merit it.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham): It has been an astonishing week for West Ham. On Thursday nighttime they beat AZ Alkmaar successful the Europa Conference League semi-finals and present look Fiorentina successful the final. It was an affectional nighttime for the Hammers who could beryllium forgiven for starting dilatory against a Leeds broadside who knew that thing little than a triumph astatine London Stadium near their Premier League endurance chances hanging by a thread. When West Ham did get going they looked awesome with Pablo Fornals, Lucas Paqueta and Declan Rice each playing a large part. However, it was Jarrod Bowen's show that destroyed Leeds 3-1. His exquisite spot provided the opening for Rice to score, and was followed by a beauteous onslaught with the extracurricular of his near ft to enactment the crippled beyond the visitors. Leeds present person to bushed Spurs astatine Elland Road to basal immoderate accidental of staying up.

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest): An atrocious batch has happened to some Nottingham Forest and Arsenal since they played each different successful northbound London past October. Forest person go a squad worthy of the Premier League nether the guidance of Steve Cooper aft their 5-0 thrashing astatine Emirates Stadium, and edged the Gunners 1-0 successful this instrumentality fixture astatine the City Ground. Meanwhile, Arsenal whitethorn person won galore hearts during their exploits but they mislaid the title. Mikel Arteta was speedy to congratulate Manchester City and rather rightly. Forest person nevertheless shown bonzer resilience, particularly successful the second portion of the play and nary much truthful than Morgan Gibbs-White. His enthusiasm for the crippled and sheer volition to triumph has dispersed done his squad similar wildfire. Owner Evangelos Marinakis seems to walk astir of the lucifer either crossing himself oregon looking to the heavens for divine intervention. This run was each astir hard enactment from a radical of players who person dedicated themselves to a origin and, successful the end, got what they genuinely deserved.

Casemiro (Manchester United): When I saw Casemiro instrumentality a look implicit his enarthrosis successful the mediate of the parkland against Bournemouth earlier the shot arrived astatine his feet, it reminded maine of Glenn Hoddle erstwhile helium was successful his prime. Kevin de Bruyne besides has the quality to look implicit his enarthrosis arsenic the shot is travelling towards him and power it, knowing precisely however overmuch clip and abstraction helium has earlier making a decision. Casemiro's accomplishment astatine Old Trafford has astir been arsenic important arsenic Ten Hag's. The Brazil midfielder's beingness successful the team, not to notation his performances, person transformed Manchester United's season. I thought his accomplishment astatine Old Trafford was nary much than a bully finale to a magnificent career. That couldn't person been further from the truth. The subordinate puts himself connected the enactment for the squad and is simply a leader. He mightiness not beryllium the subordinate of the season, but for maine helium is without uncertainty the signing of the season.

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton): What a play this lad has had. How helium wasn't connected the people expanse successful the 3-1 triumph against Southampton I don't know. He deed everything isolated from the backmost of the net. He is lightning speedy and runs astir arsenic accelerated with the shot astatine his feet. Kaoru Mitoma is playing retired of his tegument and successful today's marketplace is worthy astatine slightest £70m of anybody's money, but Brighton indispensable support him if they can. The Japan midfielder has played a large portion successful Brighton's ascent up the table. His shot for Evan Ferguson to people his 2nd extremity of the crippled was perfectly glorious. Brighton's occurrence has acceptable them up for a Europa League spot adjacent play and they indispensable amended their squad and support their champion players if they are going to travel retired of their European acquisition unscathed. Midweek European shot and a instrumentality to Premier League work connected Sundays takes its toll.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford): They accidental erstwhile 1 doorway closes different 1 opens. Ivan Toney's enforced ban due to the fact that of gambling irregularities seems to person presented others astatine Brentford with an accidental to shine. That doorway wasn't conscionable somewhat ajar astatine Spurs, it was near wide unfastened and Bryan Mbeumo walked consecutive successful to assistance himself to 2 superbly taken goals and 1 assist, with nary Toney successful sight. In information I thought helium looked perfectly susceptible without Toney alongside him. While the England striker mightiness beryllium sitting astatine location contemplating his adjacent move, Brentford don't look to person been troubled by his absence. Anyone would person benefitted from the chaos Spurs are successful astatine the moment, it conscionable happened to beryllium Mbeumo and Brentford who were successful the close spot astatine the close time. Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte person antecedently expressed their concerns astir the civilization wrong the club, and a banner successful the stands speechmaking 'profit implicit glory' articulated their sentiments perfectly. Enough said, I think.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham): After his shenanigans astatine Old Trafford wherever helium appeared to manhandle the referee I didn't deliberation I would spot this feline playing shot again this season. However, Aleksandar Mitrovic is backmost successful enactment and his enforced sabbatical doesn't look to person affected his quality to people goals. His punishment successful Fulham's 2-2 gully against Crystal Palace was arsenic unequivocal arsenic it gets, portion his question for his 2nd extremity crossed Palace's six-yard container was textbook centre-forward play. There is nary uncertainty astir it, Mitrovic is simply a handful. What a pity the Serbia striker blew a fuse astatine Old Trafford. He was having a large play astatine the clip and truthful were Fulham.

The Crooks of the Matter

Howard Webb, the caput of referees' assemblage Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), has been commenting that the behaviour towards referees is not bully enough. Not bully enough? It's appalling!

When I played it was the players who were being booked and sent disconnected for confronting the officials. Now the managers person joined them. Who would person thought it? Could you person imagined Bertie Mee astatine Arsenal, Bill Shankly oregon Bob Paisley astatine Liverpool, Sir Matt Busby astatine Manchester United oregon Joe Mercer astatine Manchester City perpetually confronting and berating the officials?

The lone managers we person near successful the alleged 'modern game' whose behaviour could beryllium considered remotely comparable would beryllium Roy Hodgson and Carlo Ancelotti. Even the large Brian Clough with each his swagger had the highest respect for lucifer officials and would not let his players to face them.

These days the mentation seems to beryllium that if you are not jumping up and down and waving your arms successful the method country you person not got capable passion.

Yet each the palmy erstwhile managers successful complaint of large clubs didn't behave successful specified a manner.

The solution for Webb is simple. Remove the method country and don't let the manager to permission his bench, fto them beryllium determination with their coaching unit and forbidden to participate the tract of play - everybody other is. That's the terms they wage for their folly.

Someone has to reconstruct the standards of behaviour connected the touchline.
