And he is f***ing loving it, this season, isn't he?!?
Just to think, this time last season we were all convinced he was heading back to Germany to see out his days!
What a bunch of pricks we are!

Worth every penny of that £3m... and on course for 10+ goals this season.

wake me up before you gogo who needs potter when
what I loved about his goal that even tho he was 2 yards ahead of of a defender he still couldn't beat gross to the ball
What I loved about the goal aside from the stunning left footed technique to pop it over the keeper was the pace of the ball. Just slow enough to give the chasing defenders hope but just enough pace to get over the line ahead of them. Such a joy to see them chasing after that lost cause in the replay.

Very impressive how quickly he understands the shape of their "back line" and that they are both thick and lazy so that there's a decent chance they might f*** up like that.
But still... how many players make a run like that when up 3-0?

THE most important signing of our Premier League era.
Him outpacing the Everton defence to score this goal was some feat as well.

Without the Groß signing, none of the other signings would have happened.

Living the dream
Yes he got the goal which was superbly taken. But his overall link up with Caicedo was excellent.
They totally dominated the middle of the park. He was linking those quickly RDZball passes like nobody's business, making us purr.

Reminded me of Jimmy Greaves RIP at his best.
I have told this story before but I literally sat next to him on a flight back to Berlin a few years ago, morning after we lost to Burnley. He was such a nice guy and chatted to me for ages. He told me about his upbringing, his time at the DFB academy, his schooling, his father who at that time came over for all his home games and also asked me a lot of questions about my life, Brighton, Berlin etc He even helped with my German homework I was doing on the plane. He really is a decent, level headed, all round, nice guy as well as a brilliant footballer.
Yes, and he gambled they would f*CK it up, almost as if he KNEW they would f*CK it upEverton 0 - [4] Brighton - Pascal Gross 57'

. Brilliant anticipation from Gross.Let’s remind ourselves that Groß is only 31. With a game based around ‘brains & technique’ rather than speed (which he has never had), he could play at this level for a good few years. His fitness and stamina has always been excellent too and shows no sign of deteriorating.
He may well still be a central figure for us in 2027. We should make sure that we are his last club.
