I was surprised Bissouma didn't come on for Stephens, what with Dale already on a Yellow AND a final warning from the ref.

[Albion] Bissouma or Gross
- Thread starter Giraffe
- Start date
Gross was anonymous at Watford because Knocky was seemingly playing pass the ball to the opposition. To suggest dropping him after 1 game for a 21 year old is laughable. Yes, Bissouma did look like a bright light in a sea of mediocrity, but this was against a side beginning to tire who had already done their job. If he proves he can play key passes and cross the ball as well as Gross did consistently last season I'm sure he will get his opportunity very soon.

Don't really see it as a choice between those two exclusively

Bissouma or Stevens would produce a rather more conclusive result I feel.

Pascal Gross is for the more laboured Albion attacking threat, as evident v Watford, even his shadow couldn't run that fast.
Bissouma is for the more direct fast attacking threat.
With our wingers zipping down the wings and knocking the ball in , we need players who can keep up and hit the ball in the back of the net.

Maybe controversial, but I'd drop Stephens and play Bissouma, Größ and Pröpper.
Stephens is too negative for me. Too many of his passes are the wrong way and it invites pressure on our defence.

strong and stable with me, or...
Thinking outside the box. Again.
We can't drop Gross. I would start Bissouma but instead of Stephens rather than Gross.

This thread needs a Ben's Grandad contribution.
To make it MORE SANE.
That's how stupid this thread is.

Once again Propper, who was completely ineffective Saturday, seems to be undroppable.
He is a good player, but not a great one and not as good as Stephens IMO. The lack of goals or threat from our midfield is alarming.
There is no way Gross should be left out.

Bissouma away. pascal tends to be quieter away from home sometimes.

Game of opinions and all that but to me Propper and Gross are our best players so I certainly wouldn't drop either of them.

I reckon Bissouma would win that, I'm not sure we want a 56 year old defender/occasional midfielder playing for us now.
At the open training day yesterday Bissouma looked very sharp. They had a training session where Bissouma and others got the ball in the centre circle and had to pass quickly out to the wing and then run into the penalty area where Hughton acted as a defender as players converged from either wing. Bissouma scored 5 or 6 great goals. Okay no real defence to bother him but he was quick, good ball control, one touch or volly and could hit the ball with great power.
