Garth Crooks' Team of the Week: Whose sheer presence causes pandemonium?

At the extremity of each Premier League weekend, BBC shot pundit Garth Crooks volition beryllium connected manus to springiness you his Team of the Week.

• Visit your Premier League's nine leafage with each the champion content

Dean Henderson (Nottingham Forest)

He's had bully games earlier but thing rather arsenic important oregon arsenic awesome arsenic his show against the erstwhile European champions. Liverpool should person won this fixture and would person done if it hadn't been for Dean Henderson.

While the Manchester United loanee has been astatine Nottingham Forest he's saved a penalty, clawed balls disconnected the enactment and against Liverpool saved Forest from definite defeat.

The trouble for Henderson is determination is nary mode helium is going to regenerate David de Gea astatine United but I tin spot him becoming an exceptional goalkeeper astatine Forest. After each it didn't bash Peter Shilton immoderate harm.

Dan Burn (Newcastle)

I person go a large instrumentality of Dan Burn since his accomplishment astatine St James' Park. The improvement successful this defender since helium near Brighton has been rather astonishing. He tin play arsenic a full-back, which is rather awesome for specified a gangly individual, oregon a centre-half. He was brought to Newcastle by Eddie Howe and has been ever contiguous since his arrival. Against Spurs helium was dependable arsenic ever alongside Fabian Schar and Sven Botman successful a Newcastle defence that is looking meaner with each game.

Having played successful Europe successful midweek a constituent would person would person been a bully effect for Spurs. They besides request a apical people goalkeeper not a apical people changeable stopper. Spurs volition triumph thing with Hugo Lloris successful goal.

Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa)

This was a precise antithetic Aston Villa than the 1 that played astatine Craven Cottage successful midweek. That squad conceded 3 goals against Fulham and they looked leaderless. Thirty minutes aft the crippled they were. Their manager was sacked and the nine looked successful disarray. Four days aboriginal they people 4 goals and support a cleanable expanse against a Brentford broadside afloat of goals.

Tyrone Mings wreaked havoc successful Brentford's container portion looking commanding successful defence. He whitethorn not people galore goals but his sheer beingness is capable to origin pandemonium successful the absorption punishment area.

Vitalii Mykolenko (Everton)

I thought the artifact by Mykolenko, connected Crystal Palace's Odsonne Edouard successful the 2nd fractional was superb, portion his changeable that acceptable up Anthony Gordon's extremity was emblematic of the defender's keenness to articulation the onslaught and marque the other man.

Why the referee's adjunct felt the request to rise his emblem erstwhile it was wide Gordon was onside was puzzling. I anticipation we haven't got to a concern wherever Stockley Park is telling the officials to rise their flag, conscionable successful case, simply truthful they tin utilise their instrumentality careless whether the determination is offside oregon not. If truthful it's thing much than jobs for the boys. VAR engagement needs to beryllium reviewed truthful the fans cognize precisely what its relation is.

Granit Xhaka (Arsenal)

This can't beryllium happening. Granit Xhaka, erstwhile the astir unpopular subordinate ever successful an Arsenal shirt, is scoring goals, Gabriel Martinez and Bukayo Saka are playing retired of their skins, the Gunners are inactive apical of the array and I can't spot anyone stopping them astatine the moment. It's similar a nightmare unfolding successful beforehand of your precise eyes.

Thank goodness Arsenal are having to play 3 games a week including European shot matches. Fortunately the Saints played the Gunners astatine the close time. A caller Arsenal would person destroyed Southampton.

Casemiro (Manchester United)

There's nary uncertainty Casemiro is simply a apical people player. You don't play for Real Madrid without being the finished article. The question is, tin helium enforce those talents connected Manchester United? Against Chelsea helium surely dug them retired of a hole. If you're going to people your archetypal extremity for Manchester United it mightiness arsenic good beryllium against 1 of your apical 4 rivals.

In the meantime, what is incorrect with Raphael Varane? He's a bully defender but he's made of biscuits - helium keeps breaking. Strikers utilized to get carried disconnected aft a tackle by a defender. Now centre-backs get carried disconnected aft they tackled a striker.

What's it coming to?

Youri Tielemans (Leicester)

Back-to-back wins for Leicester City whitethorn easiness their symptom but astatine nary signifier did Brendan Rodgers look the slightest spot concerned. I'm not definite if that's due to the fact that helium knows he's a bully manager oregon that helium has bully players. Probably a spot of both.

Youri Tielemans is surely 1 of the much talented players successful his ranks and his extremity against a hopeless Wolves demonstrated it. The Black Country side, however, are successful large occupation and dropping similar a stone. The nine had nary concern sacking Bruno Lage unless they could regenerate him. The departure of Steven Gerrard galvanised an important triumph for Aston Villa, the departure of Lage instigated a collapse.

Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City)

Manchester City were sent packing from Anfield past week having been battered and bruised and with their ego severely dented. You can't expect to vie for a Premier League rubric and not expect Liverpool not to person a accidental successful the proceedings.

However, the mode successful which Manchester City recovered from that mauling connected Merseyside and bounced backmost to destruct Brighton should supply Liverpool, and the remainder of the league, with immoderate origin for concern. Erling Haaland looked similar helium wasn't the slightest spot acrophobic astir what happened astatine Anfield portion Kevin de Bruyne ne'er does.

This was immoderate betterment by City and they look backmost connected track. As for Brighton, they look similar they are missing Graham Potter.

Danny Ings (Aston Villa)

Well if anyone wasn't definite wherefore Steven Gerrard was sacked arsenic Aston Villa manager, past the team's show against Brentford 15 minutes into the lucifer should person told you something.

Gerrard's departure seems to person revitalised the full team. They ran harder, played amended and scored goals. Gerrard has each close to beryllium furious by this benignant of reaction. He was considered to beryllium the idiosyncratic apt to instrumentality Villa places erstwhile helium arrived astatine Villa Park.

Danny Ings, who was retired of favour nether Gerrard, was brought backmost the infinitesimal Gerrard was gone and instantly started scoring goals. It was arsenic if the players were trying to marque a statement.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Having seen the situation connected Manchester City's Erling Haaland, by Robert Sanchez successful the Brighton goal, I'm starting to deliberation determination is thing incorrect with VAR exertion but everything incorrect with the radical who construe what's taken place.

It looks similar VAR is starting to disregard the wide and evident and ore connected the hard and complicated. Both of City's punishment appeals should person been given. As for Haaland's situation connected Adam Webster that led to the strikers opening goal, if that situation had taken spot astatine Anfield is anyone earnestly telling maine that Lee Mason wouldn't person fixed a free-kick against Haaland?

VAR is each implicit the spot but fortunately not truthful evident to impact Haaland, who was intelligibly the champion striker connected the pitch.

Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest)

Being employed by a apical nonrecreational nine without ever making the people tin instrumentality immoderate getting over. Taiwo Awoniyi indispensable person dreamt astir scoring for Liverpool arsenic a youngster but near without playing a azygous game. He could ne'er person imagined that 1 time helium would inflict 1 of the club's astir embarrassing defeats. Only shot tin propulsion up these unusual events.

Nottingham Forest person shown grit and determination the infinitesimal they stepped successful to the Premier League. What they didn't person was content and ingenuity. With much of the aforesaid it mightiness beryllium a precise absorbing 2nd fractional to the play for Forest.

The Crooks of the Matter

A starring referees' foundation has called for an enquiry into the touchline behaviour of managers aft disfigured scenes astatine respective Premier League matches and I can't accidental I'm the slightest spot surprised.

Jurgen Klopp was sent disconnected by Anthony Taylor amidst the reddish blistery ambiance of Anfield past Saturday for an bonzer verbal battle towards the referee's assistant. Klopp aboriginal apologised but the harm had been done. Millions of TV viewers had seen the incidental and Taylor utilized the lone means astatine his disposal and made his presumption wide by sending the Liverpool manager off. The referee handled the lucifer brilliantly but wherefore are managers progressively allowing themselves to suffer self-control but importune referees clasp power of the fixture astatine each times?

Mikel Arteta, Thomas Tuchel, Antonio Conte and Jesse Marsch person each been cautioned by officials already this play successful scenes that tin lone beryllium described arsenic thoroughly unpleasant. These men indispensable beryllium made to respect the traditions of the game, and not allowed to fell down the thought that they are the lone ones who endure frustrations, and that passions and emotions are not excuses to behave abominably connected the touchline.

The crippled is nary much aggravated oregon passionate than it was successful years gone by. The lone important alteration successful the modern epoch is the magnitude of wealth attached to it. In bid for the crippled to past its integrity indispensable beryllium protected and that means the officials not being coerced oregon bullied by managers.
