I've never been a massive Propper fan, but yes, was good today.

The whole second half has made me rather reevaluate Bissouma. I've gone from hoping he wouldn't get picked up by Real Madrid to wondering if he is part of the problem. Sideways pass, sideways pass, then Propper comes on and threads it through space time and again. Not to mention that it is always Bissouma who drops too deep when we are defending a lead, and isn't the best at closing down wide players... food for thought anyway...

Bissouma is amazing at what he does but he isn't creative. He needs someone playing next to him who is.

Always been a massive fan of Propper. Extremely gifted footballer who should always anchor our midfield with Biss. There is no better midfield combination (currently) at our football club and if Potter has anything about him he'll stick with them (injury/illness/suspension permitting) for the rest of the season. NB. If Moder is better than those two then we'll have a hell of a player on our hands.

Which would be fine except its his defensive play that has concerned me more.

He's a ball-winner, a player who retains and recycles possession. He's very good at that. The best teams have these guys, but maybe in a midfield three? But if course still young and will hopefully work on his defensive side.

Personally, not sure he warrants a place.

He has a great line in five yard pokes and prods and has wonderful outside of the right foot passing technique, but don't think he contributes enough defensively. So today, that last minute chance Wolves had, It's Davy ball watching and letting that kiddy have a free header. Should score. Also the Arsenal goal the other day, he was seriously treading water on the way back.

I also don't fancy him as an offensive threat either. The worst at shooting i've seen in recent years at the club (amid strong competition)

Not saying he's rubbish, just think he does a similar job to Lallana, but not as well and don't think we can carry two players with that little athleticism

An excellent middle third player, but doesn't contribute elsewhere

Sorry all

That’s where I’m at too. I don’t think he’s a long term answer, but give credit to the guy tonight, he had an impressive game.

I was having kittens at the end when he lost the ball a few times- usually it’s followed by a goal for the oppo but thank god not this time. I can’t work out if he tires quickly or just keeps onto the ball too long at times

He's been out injured / ill for most of the season and hadn't even had a run out in the u23s before his surprise reappearance against Arsenal so is still building up match fitness.

Always been a fan of Propper and I think we have missed him more than many have given credit for. Hopefully Potter's replacement will recognise this:whistle:
