Won't post the whole thing here, but relates to how our new aggression could mean that there is no place for Gross.
This can most easily be seen in their primary defensive stats. Last season they finished 16th in tackles and 10th in interceptions. This year so far they’re third in tackles and first in interceptions. Those are gigantic leaps.
Dale Stephens’ tackle and interception numbers are up 18% and 32% respectively; for Davy Pröpper it’s 24% and 53%; Anthony Knockaert checks in at an impressive 93% and 56%. But Gross’s tackles and interceptions are both almost exactly the same as last season. It’s just not his game.
