I genuinely thought he was done last season. I take it all back.

End of last season, pre season and today he’s looked at his best since 2017/2018. Magnificent.

Deserved his hat trick today that was taken from him by that corrupt **** in the middle.

He had a really good season last year. The guy rarely has a bad game, if ever.

2017/18 and 2018/19 I thought of him as a specialist set play and crossing player, scoring and making goals for the likes of Muzza. To be subbed late in second halves.

Somehow (Potter) at age 30 now 31, he’s morphed into someone with decent mobility and he pops up everywhere, plus he can keep it going for entire games.

Great work by Pascal and the coaching/physio team.

Yep, massive credit to Potter (again)

Nah he's always been mobile he just has never been quick.
Inexplicably there have always been some who have beaten Pascal with that stick, ignoring everything else.

Sure I saw a stat that said he ran the furthest of any player during a game, or maybe I dreamt it.

Last season I said he was finished - thanks and move on. Thankfully my view has no relevance to what happens as he came good at the end of last season and was even better today! I know nothing. I also said March had had too many chances and should move on - I was wrong again. Looked excellent today.

When paired with Montoya, it was sometimes our achilles heel (Bmuff, Stains, Cardiff etc) in those early seasons.

Lamptey briefly, then Veltman sewed the right flank up, allowing Gross insurance to play.

Imho.

I reckon he was ready to leave in the summer until the great end to the season. I also wonder if the 4-0 v Man U was the deciding factor. I bet he's glad he stayed now!

I was coming back from St Michael's mount this afternoon and we got the score on Mrst T's phone. I was wearing a yellow away top, 13 Gross on the back. Mrs T took a photo of my celebration (will post when I get back home).

Walking back to the car I was attempting to jump down from a small wall and a massive bloke wearing ManUre top spotted me. He reached up, grabbed my hand with a smile, and helped me down. I didn't have the heart to mention the score. Or show him the back of my shirt :lolol:

I know someone who asked Bruno who would run the quickest 5k in the squad and he answered Pascal without the slightest hesitation. May not be the fastest sprinter but makes up for it in game intelligence, endurance and being an all-round top man. Love the guy, so integral to how we play.

I’m not criticising PG at all, he kept us in the EPL with his goals and assists.

Instead, praising Potter/Gross for making him so influential in open play for entire games.

No I wasn’t getting at you If it seemed that way
Merely highlighting PG s Duracell bunny like motor
That keeps on plugging away like a tractor :wink:

Said it before and say it again, if you think Pacal Gross isn’t good enough for Brighton then you will never understand football.

Gross is an absolutely magnificent player, an absolute Rolls royce, consistently covers the most distance of any of our players as well, which people don’t give him enough credit for.

Must be, overall, our best ever PL player? Yes we’ve had better individual talents but as an overall impact on the team and longevity there’s no contest IMO.

A truly outstanding player.

Plus that old adage, his football brain puts in the right spot.

I remember some analysis a few years ago on the radio or tv … the best players often stay still, when all the lemming are running round like headless chickens and hey presto, the ball finds them.
