Regular starter in midfield
Crooks has started in his four appearances in the current EPL campaign, but he's gone the full 90 just once in that span.
Analysis: Crooks missed two games between late August and early September, but he didn't lose his starting role despite that minor absence. Entrenched in a holding role in the Tigers' midfield, Crooks has 10 tackles, six clearances, three blocked shots and one chance created in his four starts.
Two tackles in start
Crooks had two tackles (zero won) and four clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.
Analysis: Crooks is back in the fold for Hull after a quadriceps problem cost him the two games that followed his start in the opener against Manchester United. The midfielder eased his way back with 59 minutes in the cup and held his place for the trip to Chelsea, where he lasted 69 minutes before being withdrawn as Hull dug in for a point at Stamford Bridge. He put in a shift without the ball on his return with two tackles, four clearances and a block. His minutes are climbing with each appearance, which points to a player nearing full fitness.
