[Albion] Pascal Groß

[dazzer6666]

He is, IMHO, the most important player in the team. He holds it all together, just a crucial component of it all when it clicks like yesterday. An absolute hero.

We were chatting on the way home last night…seems Groß is simply too important to be left out, even if he has to be played out of position.

If he had just the slightest bit of pace, would be up there as one of the best footballers of his generation. Phenomenal player.

His pace is deceptive.
He is slower than you think.

In fairness to the other manager we used to have, there was a bit of that before. But RdZ has referred to his leaders, mentioning Dunk, Lallana and Gross. And you can't leave out Moises and Mac.

Are the only positions pascal has never played for us centre back and goalie?

I think he has played 10 many times, especially under CH, but don't recall him playing as the 9 ever (maybe false 9)

There was one moment in the first half when it went to Solly and he was trying to 'overlap' was genuinely funny. He's so clever that you don't usually notice his lack of pace because he just knows when to go and gets a head start. But in this instance he'd left it a bit late and was grinding to catch up. He looked like he was pulling a tractor. Back arched backwards and legs going like the clappers. Me and the guy next to me just burst out laughing. Can't help thinking Solly slowed it down a bit to help him get there.

Yes - I saw that, even on the telly it was clear that he was busting a gut to get ahead. Like you, I couldn't help but laugh.

Saw Klopp was having a good ol chat with him at full time….

I know that's a joke, yet he managed to run from penalty spot to penalty spot without being caught or tracked against Everton... and scored past the England keeper!

I think that’s true and the same applies to Lallana regarding importance to the side.

It's incredible to think just how good a signing Groß has been.

One of our first (maybe even the first) Premier League signings.
Scored our first two Premier League goals and assisted the third.
Has played the majority of games every season.
Proven his versatility in playing different roles under different managers.

All for £3m.

If we didn't have a homegrown legend in Lewis Dunk as Captain you've got to think Pascal would be the man leading this team.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Yep, said in jest. Man is a legend and love him to bits

I'm sure he's filled in when Dunk took an early bath at some point, but I've not seen him with over sized rubber Sondico's on.

Yet.

And who takes the arm band when Dunk goes off . . .

I reckon this is the reason that Lamptey has lost a bit of his pace.
Pascal Groß has somehow put Lamptey under a spell and nicked some of his pace.

Didn’t think you rated Gross

[WATFORD zero]

What an absolutely wonderful footballer and how lucky are we, to have watched him for so many years

 

[Wozza]

What a guy.

Needs a song!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Love Pascal, but I can’t watch that due to the STUPID, INANE FRUCKIN questions asked by Cantor (?) Urrrgghh. Just really painful stuff.

 

[Bold Seagull]

How many were disappointed to find he was playing at FB and not Veltman

I genuinely wasn't. Complete trust in RDZ at present. It seemed a very attacking move by Roberto and so it proved.

As I said ( half tongue in cheek) we played 2-4-3-1

sitting pretty much on the half way line, looking across the pitch, thats exactly what we did.

Big kahooners All round.

 

[Milano]

I think he’s another who has a new lease of life under RDZ. I still believe he shouldn’t be anywhere near taking our set pieces though
