[Albion] Davy Propper

[Ernest]

What exactly does he do for the team ? One goal in nearly TWO seasons and hardly any assists , what is the point to him in the team

 

[GoingUp]

When he is on form he looks like the best player on the pitch and makes everything look effortless. We need to figure out how to get the best out of him.

 

[Grassman]

Sure as eggs is eggs he’s off back to Holland this summer. Appears not to give a monkeys anymore, which is disappointing as he was becoming a decent player.

He's our 'Goal' scoring midfielder. With the emphasis being on 'goal' (singular)

Thinking yesterday, when Bournemouth were slicing us open, not seen Propper put in a committed tackle in weeks. Only two yellow cards all season...hardly creative or an enforcer.
At least Stephens puts himself about and does concede a foul or two...sometimes can be a good thing in breaking up play and resetting the formation and shape.
Kayal in for Propper on Tues for me.

This. He’s one of our only players that could step up to a higher level and do it comfortably. We need better players around him, not less of him.

Maybe if we had played him more often in the same position and role as he does for Holland then we may have seen what he is capable of because he has had some very good games for the Dutch.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Arguably our best player but he certainly didn’t look up for it yesterday. Not alone there though was he.

Remind me how many sideways Stephens has got in the same amount of time ?

When was that

I put it down to his hair cut, same mistake Samson made. He needs to go back the peaky blinder slicked back look.

We’ve got to laugh.

Propper’s a liability when we lose the ball, no pace to help out defence.

Somehow, he’s cultivated a Vicente-esque image on NSC as a footballing genius.

Quite often.

Same thing happened last year when he cut his hair

ManU at home?

 

[Silverhatch]

Get Gross & Propper up the pitch with Murray in an attacking trio. Ditch the ineffectual wingers. Sorted

'Propper by comparison seems to be hardly mentioned, which is mad. Perhaps it is because he goes about his business in such a quiet and understated manner, but the classy Dutchman isn’t just the best of the four midfielders at the club currently – he could also lay claim to being one of the best we’ve ever had.


Take his assist for Pascal Gross’ goal against Manchester United at the weekend. A swerve of the hips that Pasha Kovalev would be proud of left Victor Lindelof on the floor, after which Propper bent the ball into the area with the outside of his boot, perfectly dropping it between two United defenders and onto the chest of Gross who brought it down and finished.


Had Paul Pogba done that up the other end, Match of the Day would have dedicated at least 45 minutes to just showing that pass over and over again on repeat and it would have become the most used GIF on Twitter of 2019.


It was an outrageous piece of skill from an outrageously talented player – not that it impressed one commentator who described it as “a hopeful ball in”. Which is rather like saying the Mona Lisa is a hopeful bit of drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci or the Colosseum was a lucky bit of architecture by the Romans.


Moments like that from Propper aren’t one-offs either. He sees passes that others don’t. He can take opponents out the game with a single touch, as he did in the 1-0 home win against Everton with a brilliant Cruyff Turn which left Kurt Zouma for dead.'

 

[Kneon Light]

No idea what he does.
Can't defend or tackle. Doesn't create chances and doesn't score.

 

[trueblue]

Good player. Probably one of the ones that benefits least from our set up I think. In the absence of Gross, I’d really have liked to see him given some freedom slightly further forward.

He got an assist against Arsenal in 2018.
