[Albion] Midfield options

[blue-shifted]

Interesting article in the Argus about our midfielders which provides a balanced assessment of their qualities.

Question. If all were fit, who would be the first names you would put on your midfield teamsheet. Put them in the order you’d pick them. At the moment, I’d go …

Stephens
Kayal
Propper
Bissouma

This isn’t to play Newcastle necessarily, just the order you’d pick them to play a typical premier league game where we’re playing 4-4-1-1

 

[Icy Gull]

Form varies, currently I’d go for Stephens and Kayal. Bissouma is likely to be brilliant for us once he adapts and Propper is class who will show far more when we are playing non top four teams and he refinds his form. We have a pretty strong midfield with options now and assuming all are fit CH will weigh up the opposition before he makes a decision imo. He could well vary the midfield dependant on who the opposition are.

I think CH is moving towards 4-3-3.
By the end of the Season could see Stephens plus any 2 from 3 as our central midfield
With Izquierdo/Locadia left
Murray/Andone up top
Ali/Knockeart right

I disagee, I think he has adapted to try and limit the loss of Gross but we cannot go too far without our best player.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

If all fit, at the moment i'd go for Propper and Kayal. I expect Bissouma to be first choice before too long though, the boy is quality.

Talking of Gross, any news?

Yeah definitely no place for Solly March, who has started every game this season. Much rather play a striker there. Sigh.

Injured. As is Jayson Molumby. Both are at least two years from a starting place in the Premier League.

Edit: Just seen training snaps and it looks like Max is now back getting up to speed. Hopefully see him on the bench for next week's U23 game.

Two years? Just a slight knock then..............

 

[Surrey Phil]

After his last few games, Kayal would be first on my list at the moment.

 

[Stat Brother]

Is this what they call a 'football thread'?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

On current form:

Kayal
Stephens
Davy P
Bissouma

Davy is actually IMO the best of the four though, and will win back a starting place pretty quick.

Bissouma has a ton of potential but nowhere near ready to be starting regularly ahead of any of the other three.

Hopefully both will be sent out on loan to a Championship club in January. Both would benefit from competitive football in front of an audience.
