He was unlucky not to score a few too. Good last minute defending took the power off a few.

I’ve seen it mentioned on other threads but felt it warranted it’s own. What a thing of beauty! Done at no real pace but he beats his man every time, no matter the opposition.

What a player.

He does it both ways as he is very two footed. Can’t second guess it. Absolutely love it.

I thought he was really good tonight, he has such a quick footballing brain.

I luv him. He just oozes class. We'll lose him in the summer. Must be worth £30M. He never seems to make a mistake.

I know. Without trying to abuse the German precision cliche, he is the most precise player we’ve ever had!

His touch, close control, passing, awareness of space and ability to get out of tight corners are sublime. Great finisher also.

Yes, shame he keeps appearing on the tele for all othrs to see. His record for this and previous seasons make him a key player in the world of football stats and will no doubt make him a target around Europe at the end of the season. He must be the best value buy in Premier League history. If we can’t keep him then we will make one hell of a profit on him.

I was just saying to my mate about his Cruyff turn , hes used it so much this season and it confuses defenders so much as he can use both feet.

I doubt we will to be honest. Great player but not quick enough to play for the top 6. Don’t think anyone below that will pay enough.

If Gross had a yard more pace about him we could sell for zillions. I don't think we will sell him in the summer. We just need Usain Bolt to train him to get him ready for next season.

One of the best players for me ever to wear the Albion colours. Simply class personified.

I would’ve thought it would be in his dossier for opposition teams, but they still get done by it.

There were times when I knew exactly when he was gonna do it, it’s so obvious, but it’s just so effective.

Relegation clause. Ingolstadt are a tiny club. We did exceptionally well doing that business before the end of the season.

The club had also been very keen on him last season and made sure they stayed in touch in the hope of landing him after promotion.

He played a 40 yard through ball to Locadia midway through the second half that was just magnificent.
