Twitter Reacts to Garth Crooks' Latest Unusual Team of the Week

Twitter was abuzz on Sunday night and for most, the managerial hot topic was that of Brendan Rodgers' departure at Liverpool.

But that wasn't all that was causing headaches in the world of football management, as the BBC's Garth Crooks released his famously controversial Team of the Week.

This week's edition featured a tactically unorthodox formation of 5-1-1-3, with Alexis Sanchez at left wing-back and Kevin De Bruyne in a holding-midfield position.

There was also no room for the likes of David Silva, whose Manchester City tore apart Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

Now, not put off by the entirely fictitious nature of Crooks' XI, fans reacted frostily.

While others saw his tactical nous and appreciated its greatness.

So with a couple of coaching jobs opening up over the weekend, might we soon see Crooks' expertise on the sidelines?
