[Albion] Bissouma or Gross

strong and stable with me, or...
Bissouma to earn his starting place through impact made from coming off the bench for now. Ryan–Duffy-Dunk-Stephens-Propper-Gross-Murray was the spine that gave us our strength last season and played most games, whereas full backs and wingers were far more interchangeable. If we are going to mess with that spine, then the players coming in are going to have to prove themselves from the bench in my opinion.

Spot on, no way has last seasons player of the season suddenly become a bad player, we win together, we lose together

And that is a Gross understatement! You don’t suddenly become shit after one game!
Bissouma is not a straight swap for Gross. I suspect that the two would work well together. I would rather swap him for Stevens or proper, or one of the wide players. Certainly not for our most creative player!

Gross certainly struggles to have any impact on away games.
This can only be because of the system CH operates.

Bissouma - the only ray of light on Saturday (Maty excepted of course)
Poll should’ve had the ‘both’ option.
I’d have a 3 man CM of Stephens, Bissouma and Gross, with the latter 2 given freedom to support attacks, but with one of them to support Stephens in defensive duties as the other attacks.

Proper out bissouma in...simples. But it will take Chrissy 6 months to work that one out

I have just spoken to somebody who went on Saturday who thought that Maty should have done better with their 2nd goal, which killed us off. Any comments

Its Bissouma or Propper, thats the most like-for-like replacement in our midfield. I have to say I have never been over-impressed by Propper, I can think of very few occasions when he has stood out and done something special, unlike Stephens and obviously Gross. Clearly he's a great guy to have in your team from a manager's perspective, does what is asked of him, is tidy with a clean pass, but I'd rather see Bissouma there every day of the week

This is what I'd go for too. I like Propper but we need some aggression and Stephens give us that.
But did he do a Cruyff/Gross turn? He'll have to learn that before he replaces Pascal...

No it’s not. The wide range of opinion on here would indicate otherwise.

I thought that too but only from TV. No pundits mentioned it.
This. CM sorted.

Well Knockhaert didn't cover himself in glory and neither did Bernado. As it was (for both goals) I thought the attempted block could have been executed better - just by standing up! For the second goal I thought Maty was expecting a bit more from those around him so I am loathe to apportion too much blame.
Oh goody, another poll.
I was wondering whether we should have a poll to decide, once and for all, whether our away form this season is as good as our home form. This season.
Vis a vis the present poll, I am minded of the time an Israeli scientist proposed Menachim Begin for the Nobel Prize for Phisics. Whe questioned on this absurd nomination he replied 'he deserves to win it just as much as he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize' (that he'd won the previous year).

Christ if anyone gets dropped it's got to be Stephens or propped as these two offer nothing in attack and we need more attacking.
I'd drop Stephens
