Garth Crooks needs to be made a Premier League manager.

The BBC pundit has made a fantastic habit of choosing ridiculous formations and eccentric selections for his team of the week. Crooks loves a good attacking team, so much so that he just packs his own with as many strikers as humanly possible. Last year, he picked a bizarre 3-1-1-5 team with five strikers playing up front. This week's selection is slightly more sensible with just the four forwards on the pitch but the former Spurs man caused quite the stir with his decision to play Watford's Troy Deeney, an out-and-out striker, as a holding midfielder. _88754717_garth The online reaction was understandably one of disbelief, incredulity but, at the same time, adoration for Crooks' continued craziness. https://twitter.com/walsh_i/status/709149083227824128 https://twitter.com/CarlMSX/status/709296254304522240 https://twitter.com/AdamParsons1/status/709263927838961664 https://twitter.com/Alec_Steward/status/709169578014875648 https://twitter.com/alexharban/status/709160247827566592 https://twitter.com/jaybn1/status/709156332201443329 https://twitter.com/garethowens_/status/709155657140846594 https://twitter.com/AlexxxGibbs/status/709154131630542852 https://twitter.com/Larry__96/status/709149655372849152 https://twitter.com/Dental_Mental/status/709148751609405440 https://twitter.com/rbrtyd/status/709147544148905986 https://twitter.com/Sssstrachan/status/709147310001922049 https://twitter.com/Aidansmall97/status/709147286820012032 https://twitter.com/IanYoungEsq/status/709147271162630144 https://twitter.com/ChrisHolden_94/status/709147151729881092 https://twitter.com/GriffinDaniel/status/709147134449344513
