    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    I think the point is our tactics are different. Last season, despite Baldock playing a bit deeper than Murray, we effectively played 4-4-2. This season, with Gross or Brown in that role, it sounds like we plan to play 4-4-1-1. It is a different system so we are not looking for a direct Baldock...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    I'm really struggling to see what is so hard to work out. I have not actually put a pro Albion position here or on other threads. All I've said is to wait and see before judging that players are not going to work in certain position (and clearly he is different to Baldock, who is a striker while...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    So you think two games is fair to judge players? I really don't see your point. I accept fully that people are entitled to their own opinion but when it is based on just two games, I don't see it as valid. I also don't have a valid opinion yet on any of our new signings but want to give them all...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    In fairness, all except Manu were by a different recruitment team under David Burke. Nobody would argue they were flawless. Agree re Manu and nobody is saying they are flawless. What people are trying to say is give the new signings a chance and don't think you can judge them better after two...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    He did but it doesn't make it any more true. Stockdale had the same problem as Ryan seems to be getting. Every goal that could possibly be blamed on him, was blamed on him (e.g. I really don't see how Ryan could do anything about Leicester's second goal on Saturday and if it had been a different...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    People were the same with Stockdale and now they say Stockdale improved. What actually happened was he was nowhere near as bad as people thought he was at the time but they can't admit to being wrong. Now the same people who slagged off Stockdale in his first season are saying we should never...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    It's not the difference of opinion that bothers me. Clearly we will all have that. It was more the arrogance of the post I quoted e.g. 'my eyes told me yesterday they may be clutching at straws'. Or maybe he just needs time to adapt to the English rather than supporters slagging him off after...

    Put Knockaert in the number 10 role?

    I sometimes find it hard to believe some of our fans. So you trust your own opinion based on one game more than the club's professional scouts and recruitment team who have no doubt seen him much more than you.
