[Albion] Davy Propper - I'm sorry

[Kalimantan Gull]

Sorry for slating you, because you worked hard last year, because I hate having a scapegoat, and hate criticizing Brighton players. But I struggle to see what Propper is bringing to the table right now.

After 30 minutes of a difficult first half, with Stephens and Bissouma all over the place, going into challenges, picking up possession - even though both made lots of errors they were visible, they were involved, I started wondering where the hell was Propper. Focusing on him for the next ten he basically marked space, closed no-one down, received zero passes, a couple of times the ball fell to him and he promptly took it into a challenge and lost it. I get that CH likes him, likes that he follows instructions, but for me he doesn't offer enough in games like this. Bissouma was playing all over the place, with snap and bite - certainly didn't have his best game - but I'd rather he kept the place when Gross is back.

Propper was poor, but he isn’t normally. If that helps.

 

[WhingForPresident]

No worse than Stephens or Bissouma tonight.

 

[Bladders]

Some think he’s our best player

He improved in the 2nd half which wasn't hard

Agree , middle 3 all off the pace

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

He had an “off day” happens to all of us.

Opinions either way I can accept, but at least these two actually tried to play the ball and challenge their players. Propper was conspicuous by his absence from that first half.

Bissouma, locadia & propper were all awful

 

[BensGrandad]

He was very good in the 2nd half and contributed to our comeback. Stephens had one of his very rare poor games and Bissouma seemed all at sea not knowing his role and this put extra pressure on Propper

This, except I don't think Stephens was especially poor. Well, I suppose he was in the first half to be fair to you, but then the whole team was absolute gash in that period.

 

[Stephen Seagull]

Awful technique with a free header from 6 yards out. Was in two minds, lay it off to Murray or head it home. In the end he did neither

He needs a goal, when he does we’ll start to see a more consistent/dangerous version IMO

 

[Rogero]

Fully agree,I think he was our worst player in the first half.

 

[The Large One]

All three midfielders were dreadful first half.

All three midfielders were better second half.

On the back of this, zeroing in on just one of them makes no sense.

 

[Rogero]

I would rather see Kayal play.

What a garbage thread. Propper had a mare today but normally he is reliable.

 

[pasty]

And my God that took some doing. We were utter gash first half. Great improvement second half, and for the second match on the bounce I find myself thinking got to be happy with a point after being 0-2 down.

Which is the relevant point in respect of the thread starter

 

[The Hon Sec]

Proper was playing on the right and Stephens on the left. They are normally the other way round. This may have affected hem to begin with.

I would but only for the U23s. Propper is streets ahead of him as is Stephens and Bissouma.
