Brown was easily our best player today. Very surprised to see him come off and Gross stay on.

You’d think Brown must have earned a starting place for next week, especially with it being at Huddersfield. Play the same starting eleven and give them a chance to make amends, or ring the changes?

You have a strange opinion, it states what it means not what you are reading into it, unless you are fishing of course.
I would have said the same for Propper, wanted way too much time.

After a slow start Brown was one of our best players yesterday. It made absolutely no sense to take him off. It should have been Gross off with Brown then moving inside leaving Jose to play on the left. That’s the way I’d start next week. Huddersfield is a now a big game. They will be really up for it. The question is, will we?

strong and stable with me, or...
Schlotto is starting to push Bruno now, which is good, but think Bruno will start if he trains well all week. Brown has to start, even reviewing highlights all our chances involved him. He does leave Bong a bit more exposed but offers us so much going forward.
Gross is probably CH's most tactical player in terms of what CH instructs from him. Can't see him being dropped just yet because he gives us so much in an even game. Knocky is the head scratcher at the moment, feeling that he is due a match winning game though.
I thought Brown was our worst player in the first half. So many times he let his man go when we were tracking back. Bong had a go at him a number of times. I’d have taken him off at half time.
2nd half he looked really good, and it seemed odd to take him off then.

Brown was our best player attacking wise in first half as well and certainly our man of the match. The only reason for taking him off surely was that it is a long time since he played 90 minutes. I think he will start at Huddersfield.

i agree with this, I thought he was poor at times first half, especially on the defensive side. I saw Bong having words with him too, he actually looked lost at times and I didnt like his lack of tracking back. BUT second half he seemed to alot better.

Brown and Stephens yesterday, looked really good against top quality.

Funny old game i thought apart from winning a few headers and sending over 2 quality crosses he was awful , no tracking back whatsoever in any half , and against a team who were breaking at will and spraying it wide his token jog back routine after the event really got my goat , shame because he obviously has quality but not worth a **** if he is not going to help out in defence .

His effort in previous games has left a lot to be desired.
Like others have said Brown had one of his best games for us yesterday. However, starting him over Solly or Izquierdo wasn't necessarily an effective choice by CH.

Gross was playing as part of a 3 man midfield in a more restrained role for most of the game yesterday, he wasn't playing his normal no 10 role, which is why he didn't shine.
I was impressed by Brown in the first half (as well as the second half), he was winning a lot of ball with his head, and knocking on for Murray.
Brown is good if the ball is passed to feet, which we were doing yesterday. He's not so great at his movement in short passing when it doesn't come straight to him.

I thought that he was mediocre in the 1st half but improved in the 2nd, Ben and his dad thought and argued with me that he was by far our MOM but I went for Stephens. I thought the best player on the field until Liverpool scored their 3rd goal was Henderson, as everything went through him for Liverpool then Coutinho took over for the remainder of the game.

My sense is that despite undoubted skill, he is far too casual for any CH system. For that very defined requirement in that position, the pecking order would actually go SM,JI,JM,JS, IB.

Thought Brown was good, stood out to me anyway. We parked a very odd bus and got our arses handed to us on the break.

I thought Stephens had his worse game for us and he's a bit of a barn door Billy as far as shooting ability goes. I would drop Stephens and put Gross in his role, play Brown behind Murray and Jose on the left.
I actually more or less agree with you.

Good going forward and poor tracking back.
