Simple question. Would you rather he be in the team, or not?

If I was picking the team I'd have started him on the bench today.
Don't get me wrong, he's a brilliant player and will always be an Albion hero, but from what I've seen Colombian Izzy & March deserve to be starting ahead of him.

Not sure if it's the same at the Albion but I heard some clubs require players to log their sleep.
It's part of the training / medical regimes along with meal plans and all that to make sure they're in top condition physically and mentally.
Could be how the club know what he was up to at 6am.

I thought over the last two or three games Knockaert really seemed to be coming good. But that's just my own observations - and what would I know?

First half with Shelotto was like playing with ten men. Unless AK was arrested he should have been out there.

Unless, of course , he came rolling in drunk, knocking over plant pots, trying to grope the receptionist, and singing La Marseillaise at the top of his voice.

Not Izquierdo’s side of the pitch but certainly March.
We've all done it.

Why if the suggestions of breach of club rules is true. Standards must be maintained for the benefit of the whole group. Overlooking such breaches only leads to a squad who are happy to take the money and results get worse.
Just a reaction of dropping the player from the matchday squad hopefully will be enough for the player to understand that they need to adhere to the rules if they want to continue to play for the 1st team

It's good to have you back. I missed you when things were going well.
A couple of other loyal 'fans' will be crawling out of the wood very soon.
Gotta love the 'oh I lost my laptop' brigade.

Yes, I was there today and he didn't have the best game. I was gutted when I realised that Knockaert wasn't selected. Appreciate that the club are trying to act in a "professional" way, but wouldn't it be better to just be honest. Dropping Knockaert for "tactical" reasons is a complete blag. Not sure what would be the best one liner, but saying we dropped Knockaert for Scholetto for tactical reasons is a ridiculous sentence.

If true would rather his punishment was missing Wednesday as in winnable games at this level we cannot afford to be without our most creative players

Putting yourto one side, do you think AK's played well this season?
Immense over the last two seasons at a marked lower level, the games just seem to be passing him by. It's hard to recall AK getting any joy directly leading to goals.
Knockaert has been great the last few games I've seen. I think the standard of defenders is better which obviously hinders any player. But anyhow, how on earth could he be expected to have the same influence when generally we are defending most of the time and the opportunities for attacks are much reduced? The whole team is attacking less and defending more.

Swansea away. Everton home. Hit the post against Watford. He's easily one of our better performers.Putting your

Exactly. Most of his energy is spent supporting a 37 year old full back. He's done ok going forward but to suggest he's not up to it going forward is unfair imo.
