[Albion] Knockaert

[Sorrel]

Let's hope he's back soon and wanting to do well. When he's at his best there's not many who can compare to him.

Sadly hasn't been at his best CONSISTENTLY since we got promoted.
Therein lies the problem with him on the playing side of matters

The positive way of looking at this could be that Gyokeres has been absolutely tearing it up in training to the degree that you simply have to get him in the squad even at the expense on a senior pro. This is what I'm trying to believe anyway.

Who’s the dude in the background with three legs?

 

[GT49er]

The player they bought the previous season whilst still playing in the championship? Initially, back up to Knockaert?

Whoever. Whatever. He was keeping Knocky out of the team. Knocky didn't signed because he was pi$$ed off not playing.


In other words, however people want to spin it, Knocky was replaced as first choice (which wasn't his choice).

So is Bovril-gate now over?

A resounding YES

Anyone who even bothered to open the gate, when they saw who was standing on the other side, deserves all they get.

That's very true.

Still our best winger on his day in my book. I love watching him play.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I think AN is within his rights to ask the questions, even given the initial answers. It's his job to question things.

Nothing at all like the Bovril botherer...

Or that Chris never planned to sub the reserve winger on and felt Gyokeres would benefit from time with the first team even though, barring an injury during the game, he was never going to get minutes.

Its a pity we lost our own resident reporter...HB&B he would have got to the bottom of the Bovril gossip..............................................................................

Most likely explanation, also meaning AK could go home for a few days

And if March got injured in the first minute?? Not very CH that, not to plan for every eventuality

That applies to all of our wingers. All of them!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

He is off. Fact. Cardiff.

IMHO

Wouldn’t be sold a Premier League team, probably loan to buy in the Championship.
Real shame though as he could still definitely do a job.

 

[Saunders]

We played a 433 though. So there were no wingers. Maybe Hughton rates Gyrokeres ahead of Knockaert as a wide player in the 3?

This Gyokeres plays in a 3 for the u23 team and it looks like it is a system we have been moving towards for some time.
