[Albion] Kayal

[Langley]

I did not see this myself, but was told by a friend who sits near the bench that with15 mins to go Kayal ripped off his top and threw it down in front of the bench, can anyone confirm or report on this ?

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

He definitely appears to be getting more and more frustrated. He should be getting games. Something was wrong with dale last night, I would have swapped him for Kayal at h/t.

It must be infuriating sat on the bench and seeing that crap on the pitch

 

[Hampster Gull]

The man is a battler, he should habpve been on the pitch. No time for shirkers or lightweights

 

[DFL JCL]

it was his bip. When he came back from warming up on the touchline.

I didn’t, but wouldn’t blame him if he did.

Yes I saw it. He walked back to his seat and threw his training bib down in frustration as Iziaqwierdo was standing on the touchline ready to go on.

I don't know why he is not playing; his performances in the cup were very good. If CH can't or won't drop Stephens, why not resume the successful partnership that they developed a couple of years ago.

 

[George Burke]

Kayal MUST start over Stephens. If that is true, at least we can see Kayal cares (hopefully a tad less than Knockaert). Him and Bissouma are 2 midfielders that I get excited when they're on the ball. They both drive the team, and have nifty feet. The best thing about Bissouma- he shoots. And they rarely go that far high or wide. 2 players that can get the crowd going. I can't understand why Stephens would be on the bench, let alone starting.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Fortune selected him and he did us proud. But will NSC’s resident Kayal hater kneel before our King and admit he was wrong?

 

[Djmiles]

Needs to start the next game. Stephens and Propper are essentially the same player. At least Kayal offers something different.

 

[albionfan37]

He's clearly not our best but he’s full of energy and so busy around the oppo he’s a must for me next weekend

 

[the right footed denilson]

Hero. Never let's us done.

 

[Blackadder]

Kayal was a massive improvement. Commentator mentioned that he went over to CH to remonstrate about Izzy not pulling his weight in trying.

Probably take that as a given if Propper has done his hamstring.

Why not Tuesday?

 

[martin tyler]

He’s a leader on the pitch as well but it’s his mobility and drive to go forward that makes him so important.

 

[sydney]

propper pulled a heart muscle apparently.......kayal had drive that is lacking in others ....love him

 

[DJ NOBO]

Right now, he is clearly what we need. That it took an injury for him to get his chance makes me respect Chris Hughton a little less

 

[BensGrandad]

He did ok today but as they say 1 swallow doesnt make a summer but he should be in for both games this week.

 

[mreprice]

Did great today. Full of energy and defended higher up the park than Propper

There was loads of criticism of him previously.

I think he could be captain. Great attitude.
