I will probably get shot down...we have played better & moved the ball quicker against City and Leeds without Bissouma in the side.

Well there’s no question this was a very considered thought out tactic, and it certainly worked against this Leeds side.
It looked to me like Gross almost had a sort of quarter back role at times, stayed very central and pinged it back and forth for MacAllister and White to make forward runs.
Will be interesting to see if we use this line up again.

I was worried before the game we would get over run in midfield probably like we all did. Full credit to Potter spot on tactics even the subs today.
Pascal superb today along with the rest of the squad.

A fresh and fit Gross would be a definite in my starting 11 these days and I wouldn't have said that 6 months ago. Tbh I thought he was on his way out. Potter is using him well.

I like Gross but much prefer Mac Allister to take the free kicks. But Gross takes as he is more senior - shame.

Not sure how you work that out. How can it be fact?
It proved to be a sufficient option, but Gross better than Bissouma? I'll never agree to that. (Unless we're talking penalty shootouts
)Not sure how you work that out. How can it be fact?
If we're talking who has been more influential since signing for us then Groß all day long. Plus he can hit the target. Biss has only just started to bloom.
I did - subliminally.
This morning I put my lucky Gross t-shirt on.
I clearly inspired GPott to do the same..
The Albion won.
Don't feel the need to thank me for the 3 point, although..
...It would be churlish not too.

Pascal has to be one of the best pound for pound signings in PL history. No pace but wonderful touch and awareness. 107 BHA appearances and 14 goals. Fabulous footballer.
He has always put in a shift. That’s got nothing to do with GP.

Gross is still only 29. For some reason I thought he was in his 30's because he always looked like he was.
I think 9 hours on he’s still in the middle of one of his pedestrian Cruyff turns! Amazing how players fall for it every time, I can see it coming a mile off!
It’s a thing of rare beauty and in the midst of a premier league game played at a million miles an hour, it is like time stands still for him!

Today Potter selected Gross over Bissouma- we won the game - so today it was clearly the right decision- that is fact - Was it tactical genius or luck we will never know but today it worked and we won for only the third time this season.

They're very different players. Gross can't do what Bissouma does and Bissouma can't do what Gross does.

This season Gross has been played almost entirely in that defensive midfield position, I assume as he very rarely gives the ball away. And yet, in every game he plays there the Commentator says at least once that this season Gross has been playing further forward and so he's not used to this position. Does my head in
