Tony Cascarino's Fiver

1: Plenty in reserve

I bet Roy Hodgson would have preferred Fulham to face Liverpool’s first XI. The squad players’ desperation to impress before the Champions League semi-final was obvious. Even Andriy Voronin turned up.

2: Crouch’s big problem

Peter Crouch looked like he was auditioning for a remake of Land of the Giants in his post-match interview. Stooping with his head inches from the ceiling, it was hilarious. Don’t they have any bigger rooms at Fulham?

3: Tremendous Tevez

Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo get so many plaudits that it’s easy to overlook Carlos Tevez at Manchester United. His workrate is outstanding and he has not started as many games as he has deserved.

4: Mowbray’s masters

I played with Tony Mowbray at Celtic. He had a dry sense of humour and didn’t drink. His West Brom side are almost up and deservedly so — they play attractive football in a division dominated by the long ball.

5: Claret and boo army

The boos at Upton Park on Saturday show just how high expectations are at West Ham. The fans haven’t taken to Alan Curbishley because the football’s not exciting, even though he has led them to tenth.
