    Ah, but he's immune to that sort of nonsense: Pascal has been PotS for us before and, delightfully, he's still with us :thumbsup:

    Agreed, he was a bit off it today but what a season overall. Clearly PotS

    I think Pascal is saying: crap education systems -- wouldn't happen in Germany

    Agreed, he was brilliant, as opposed to f&%$ing brilliant.

    He was truly brilliant, but think he's played even better this season.

    He's like Cantona surrounded by the kids you win nothing with.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Gro%C3%9F Pascal has now scored four goals from open play in (less than?) a handful of games -- 2x United away, West Ham home, United home. This follows on from a long spell of not scoring from open play. The last one I think he scored from open play was...

    I've been hypothesising for a while now that the reason why defenders consistently fail to read Pascal's pirouette is that his delivery is so good that, in the first instance, defenders are seeking to block that, which enables Pascal to exploit the situation and buy further time in deploying...

    Well, I've been singing 'Another Assist for Gross' for a few years to the Queen song.

    I really don't think pace is overrated: all -- or, if not, pretty much all -- top/world class players have it. What that means is that you have to compensate in other areas if you don't have that and, in terms of technique, engine and especially intelligence, Pascal does that in abundance.

    Pretty sure he will. Doubt GP would have raised it if not.

    He's certainly been playing a more advanced role over the last month or two. The big difference, however, is that in 2017/18, CH played a very rigid and consistent 4411. Pascal went out on both wings, creating overloads, and putting in crosses for Murray. This season we have a much more mobile...

    Although I agree with you on the other players, I think you're being a little harsh on Pascal here. There's a reason Potter picked him and played him for the full game on such a regular basis last season. And you're badly wrong on the highlighted part. Pascal's set plays are about as good as...

    Agree about Moder's corner, which was delicious. Problem is that you also want him in the six yard area to connect with the delivery.

    Outstanding figures

    Add Cantona to that list. Gross has been outstanding this season, as he was in his first. I think the injury really sapped him last season.

    Liverpool were after him in the 2018 summer window. Which ought to say something.
