The in-form winger scored twice as Brighton claimed a memorable 3-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side, making it four goals in as many Premier League games for the 28-year-old.
March gave Albion the lead less then a minute into the second half, poking home following a miss-hit Karou Mitoma shot, before doubling his sides lead with an outstanding curling effort across Allison from the edge of the area.
Crooks said: “He was unlucky not to make my team of the week when Brighton obliterated Southampton at St Mary's on December 26.
"Solly March scored a cracker that day and has been playing brilliantly throughout this season.”
The win lifts Brighton to seventh in the table, leapfrogging Liverpool who dropped to ninth after the second successive league defeat. The Reds are yet to win a game in any competition since returning to action following the World Cup.

Commenting on Liverpool’s form, Crooks said: “If you're a Liverpool fan you must be concerned. It wasn't losing to Brighton that stopped me in my tracks but the manner in which they lost.
"I said after their defeat against Brentford that their midfield looked old and unable to compete in the way they were two seasons ago. Jurgen Klopp has failed to address this problem and Liverpool will continue to struggle until he does.”
Here is the full team of the week – which includes Arsenal, Manchester Untied and Aston Villa players.

6. Martin Odegaard
The Arsenal captain scored the Gunners' second goal in their memorable North London triumph. Crooks said: "I have been singing the praises of Martin Odegaard for quite some time this season. I have also watched him grow into a first-class player and lead Arsenal to the top of the Premier League. "His performance against Spurs was another display of the highest quality. His goal was well struck and put the game well beyond Tottenham's capabilities. That said, you would expect a decent goalkeeper to save a shot hit from that distance but Hugo Lloris has not been decent for some considerable time."

7. Mathias Jensen
The Denmark international scored his second goal of the season in the Bees 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, which lifted the West London club into eighth in the Premier League table. Crooks said: "There was nothing remotely underhand about Mathias Jensen's goal or his performance. A fabulous strike by a player who is having an outstanding first half to the season."

8. James Ward-Prowse
The free-kick specialist scored both goals in Southampton's crucial 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Crooks said: "It's been sometime since James Ward-Prowse made one of my teams and that has been largely due to Southampton's poor performances this season. However, it was nice to see the golf swing back in action as he celebrated two goals at second-bottom Everton." (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Photo: Mike Hewitt
