[Albion] Gross

[Seagull58]

I said it in his first season and I have to say it again; if Gross had genuine pace he would be absolutely world class. He has vision, delivery, the Gross turn, an eye for a goal and tremendous work rate. If he was a yard or two faster he'd be at a Champs League club.

 

[HantsSeagull]

one of our best players. Underrated by many.

 

[throbinson]

Where did he find that burst of energy to set up that miss

one of our best players. Underrated by many.

Exactly - brilliant tonight.

He’s been reborn this season.

I really like the way GP has moved him into a deeper role. Plays far more to his strengths. His pace isn’t an issue. Allows him to roam across the middle of the field and play as a quarterback and emphasise his superb short and long passing. And on occasion he can run down the side, onto his trademark Gross turns and a cut in pass (like the goal today).

Since he started at Leeds, he’s had a great 3 game run. Hard to drop him when he plays to this level. I do have a comparison for him to a legend, but don’t want to tempt fate yet.

But he’s too slow... doh!

Ran past bergwijn like he was stood still

To the tune of Westend girls...

Fantastic. What a midfield Bissouma Gross and Macca. Completely bossed it tonight.

 

[Iford Albion]

He has clearly done loads of fitness training. Can someone do a before and after comparison pics with Pascal a year ago. He looks so much leaner and meaner now and his performances reflect it. He was excellent tonight

 

[Zebedee]

What was Pascal on tonight? His energy levels were fantastic and in parts, he actually looked as if he had some pace. A wonderful, committed display tonight from our big German.

I’m usually satisfied by one Gross turn but he was at it all night. It was filthy.

The first Gross turn of the match is a little highlight for me. One of small pleasures I take when he is playing.

has he clicked in this new role because he is now playing with players on his wave length - Trossard and Ali MacA, they know where to run and he knows how to play the passes into space

Also, Potter has him deeper so his pace is rarely exposed. Bissouma is there for him to be the last man in midfield and Mac, March, Tross & Maupay supply the speed. I’ve also noticed that Veltman is a right back version of Groß, such intelligent passing and distribution.

Yes that’s part of it and add in Bissouma to do most of his running and covering in the middle.

Mainly it’s starting in a deeper role though, it really suits him as gets on the ball more and with the game in front of him a lot of the time so he can use his quality vision and ability to use the ball well.

ditto, he has looked half the player he was in some previous games, tonight he was back to his sparkling best..... maybe a run of games is helping him?

How many times tonight did he do the Cruyff turn and every time bar one, he skinned the spurs player!

groß ist großartig

Yep, one of my lads said 'I just want Gross to Cruyff turn Bale.' Lo and behold, within seconds he Cruyff turned Bale.

Brighton's Pascal Gross has assisted 18 Premier League goals; the only Germans with more assists in the competition's history are Mesut Ozil (54), Leroy Sane (28) and Dietmar Hamann (22).

 

[Tony the Pony]

Ran 12.33km today, the most of any player. Mom well deserved.

 

[Sheebo]

This new position suits him... like midfield but also a slight free-role at times to get wide etc. I never thought this role would suit him, but Potter and him have proved me wrong. He’s been great and kept the impressive Alzate out the side.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Brilliant

His best ever game for us

 

[Miximate]

Even a turn of pace at the end of ACs chance!
