No you’re not and agreed he’s inconsistent and sometimes frustrating but I’d be exaggerating quite a bit I think if I said he was the most frustrating player I’ve seen “in forty years”

We can but when a poster says “in my 40 years of watching then I’ve never seen a player [like him] ...” then fair enough to point out the hyperbole.

Blimey fellas . Tough crowd. only a few weeks ago he provided amazing pin point crosses to Duffy and then to Andone to secure *that* coming from behind win at Huddersfield. *that* ball for Glenn to get our win v Man Utd up and running in August. He's even scored this season too ! Not enough...

Said this about losing his place to Locadia/March post Liverpool "I will keep working hard and the manager has a decision to make. "He does his job and it is up to me to just keep working hard and get back in the side. "I try to give my best when I am able to play, to give my best to the team...

There's different interpretations here, agreed, - its the false equivalence with Bovril gossip that i think is pushing it.

Equating a local reporter pointing out its surprising that AK's was dropped on Saturday (probably Hughton's most surprising selection of the season) with this OP on this thread hearing about rows and transfers in the Bovril queue is a bit unfair. And yes CH has just confirmed your 4-3-3 point.

CH on AK's absence from squad v Everton: "Fine for West Ham. I have at the moment very good competition for places and probably with the change in formation I am able to be a little bit more tactical. "It was solely tactical, yes he is in the squad for West Ham."...

Knockaert was training this morning via https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2018/december/gallery-the-final-session-of-2018/

A bit of an exaggeration. He did report on that. On Saturday afternoon https://twitter.com/AndyNaylorArgus/status/1079020937259962370 This is his analysis piece about the match. And its a very soberly made point that tactically it was a surprise for CH to pick an u23 striker in preference to...

I think he's just stating the obvious and repeated by many on here/elsewhere. If tactical and he was fit then then its quite a surprise that CH, notably careful about picking u23s, has picked Gyokeres over him on the bench especially with wingers; Ali J and Izquierdo also out.

Here's a report/interview with AK from 2016 “I am never going to regret the choices I made because I wasn’t playing too much in the Premier League with Leicester and it was time for me to go somewhere else and try something else." [Knockaert was] A player whose exclusion [from the team] had...

Happy NY iCY !!

Naylor questions the tactical explanation in his Argus column this morning. via https://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/17326647.albion-analysis-hughtons-team-evolving/

The Argus and BBC and others did ask about Knockaert yesterday which is why before kick off they were told his dropping from the squad "was tactical" and not an injury. And they were either have embargoed stories on it , if CH said more on it (where they will have asked again) in the post match...

NSC should also be about the facts on players and management decisions, most of which we are privy to as the club or journalists or because others on here do share them. The facts re: AK are multiple. The clubs loyal support of him through many issues of form, personal health, and complex...

If he was injured they would say so. They’ve said he’s not.

I’m not . Hughton made it clear before KO - it was tactical. As for rows and leaving - then I expect the former at some point (Knockaert is hardly mr calm) but doubt the latter. (Leaving). And it’s all guess work I’m assuming from those in the “west lower”. And from me as well.

Was it a "massive row" or just a "row" . Does anyone know ?

Without his flick yesterday we wouldn’t have scored. The idea that Hughton wouldn’t have shipped him out years ago if he wasn’t the fine all round player he is, or sanction a new contract only months ago is but is only doing so cos he’s a “local boy” is ridiculous.

He’s training at the same time then.
