Even so we won today, I thought the midfield played a lot better against Leicester whilst Gross was playing.
Last Tuesday. a sublime back heel which put it on a plate for Murray who smashed it into the back row. Had Murray scored that, you could argue that would've been the assist of the...
It's like comparing Modric to Viera.
Different styled midfielders.
The Bissouma pass to Murray was pretty straight forward. It was how he created the opening which was more impressive in showing great drive running at the defence.
His play in the final 3rd still needs work. Today he was looking for the pass more than the shot which was encouraging, but he still doesn't look totally relaxed on the ball once we're putting on the pressure. Give it a few more seasons and then I bet the top clubs will come sniffing, but not yet.
Gross is the player who can unlock a defence with a killer ball from nowhere. No one else in our team has what Gross can offer. He's far from a pedestrian. He hasn't had the best of seasons for us this year, but who has?
