Got to admit, I keep thinking he should be further up the pitch. He should be doing what Lallana or Moder do for us, where he can really hurt an opponent. When Pascal is playing well, he's a top PL midfielder. When he's off it, his lack of pace on the cover affects the overall balance of the...

Pascal has dropped off a little hasn't he. Not just today, he looks to me like a player who needs a weekend off. I'm not sure the internationals are helping at this stage in his career. Neither is the fact that we have no realistic options to rest the guy. We need to get him ticking again

That sounds a bit "come and get me" to Bundesliga clubs. I mean, I'd love him to stay, but if the fella wants to go home for the benefit of his family we should probably be forming a guard of honour from the Whitegates up to Gatwick Airport as he drives up

One of the many brilliant things about Pascal, is that he's just so good off either foot. There's no easy option to take to defend against him

10/10 performance from Pascal. Thrived on the responsibility of leading the side

Can you say it's a disgrace when probably 6 or 7 of the all time best Albion season performances have been in this season?

I was Solly all the way, but yep, Pascal is making a late charge!

Yes. I think, if you're talking best value signings in Albion history .... i'm going 1) Gross 2) Hart 3) Veltman

That looks a world cup quarter final squad to me. Strength and a decent blend of youth and experience. But lacking the goal threat to upset top teams. Sadly, I don't see Pascal improving on what they have up front, love him as I do

I just think it's a positional thing. He's a better player further forward.

Errr, no, I think you'll find he's getting better. :) All of his best football for us, has been right up the pitch and pretty central. He was great in behind Muzza and he is great in behind Danny. He's nowhere near as effective in centre mid or the right wing in my view

It's more the people who are very drunk at 10 am on a train to an away game who normally do the job

Magnificent again from Pacal Gross. I think the answer with him is to get him up the pitch as far as possible. We've not used him at his best in the past as a winger or centre mid. Get him up with and around Welbeck all season. Goals and wins will strangely come our way

Do you know how long that would take?

Pace is over rated. The main point of it is the enable you to find space, but there's more than one one do to that, as per your post. Anyway, I can't help but comparing Pascal's incredible end of season form to one which Gary Hart had towards the end of his career. Similar in that they had...

What a finish today. It looked like he was passing again to Cucurella. Fabianski just completely not expecting it

I think it's true as he's been up there for the last few seasons. Probably due to being our main corner taker and takes inswingers and outswingers for us, where, some other teams divide the role more than we do. He creates a few from open play, but would surely be miles down the list of PL...
