The 100+ completed passes stat - does that include the little 1 yard back/forth "to me, to you" passes that Pascal likes to do with Lallana and Gilmour? Not sure they should count really!!

Have to say I thought he looked knackered last night. It’s going to happen when you are first on the team sheet and now an international. Gives his all every game. Wonderful player.

Pascal has dropped off a little hasn't he.
Not just today, he looks to me like a player who needs a weekend off. I'm not sure the internationals are helping at this stage in his career. Neither is the fact that we have no realistic options to rest the guy.
We need to get him ticking again

Obviously love the guy, living legend and all that
His corners today were absolutely rubbish. Even for us.

Got to admit, I keep thinking he should be further up the pitch. He should be doing what Lallana or Moder do for us, where he can really hurt an opponent.
When Pascal is playing well, he's a top PL midfielder. When he's off it, his lack of pace on the cover affects the overall balance of the side.
Of course, this is now for next season, as we're out of midfielders for this one.
Oh and Enciso on corners now. Time to move on with this

Uncharacteristically poor today. Considering the poor guy has been playing 90 mins for us in the vast majority of games as well as a few appearances for Germany, you can forgive him being a bit knackered.
As usual, he's playing out of position, because he can and anyone else would be a lot shitter at it. He's been the get out of jail free card for years now.
I thought Moder should have swapped places with him. . .PG further up and Moder, being bigger/tougher? In the thick of it . . .
haing said that, Gross had a real tussle with Oedegard . . . . and did ok. . . . . Not sure PG would have got much joy from Rice Breathing down his neck. Further up the pitch.

Nothing new I just can't help myself, when I see it, I have to share.

I reckon he's off (or he wants to go) – and the gaffer knows it.
"De Zerbi said Pascal Gross, who won two club awards this week, has become "a great, great player and a top player for us" and that "he can play in every big team because he is smart, he is a very good player and his passion and attitude is incredible".
He added: "I hope he can stay with us. I work to help the players to become better. If Pascal has an offer then we can understand. I want him to stay with us, but his level now is higher than two or three season ago."

From today's Groß piece on the official site:
Pascal has another year on his contract and is planning for a coaching career to come, with the help of Albion Head Coach Roberto De Zerbi.
“I passed my UEFA B Licence,” he said. “At the moment I’m learning every day from my coach and we’re lucky to have him. He has been massive. I wanted to be a coach all my life because I love football so much I want to stay involved. Meeting him helped me playing, coaching, everything.”
Forget all previous Albion players who could possibly manage one day. I'm already picturing the "Der Kaiser" banner on his return.

On his return!? We should be looking to transition him into the coaching staff as he gets older and create a pathway for people like him to move into management with us.
Roberto's always trying to sell off our playersI reckon he's off (or he wants to go) – and the gaffer knows it.

Yeah, doesn't help.
I guess RDZ's comment might depend on whether it was in answer to a pointed question.
But... sometimes it looks like he's taken Tony's business model to the extreme. "Look, Tony, I've even improved Pascal a ton and I'm suggesting that bigger teams make an offer... okay?!"
It's all a bit weird... oh well.

Pascal may well be able to get a move to Leverkusen or Dortmund or Stuttgart, and with it a trip to the champions league. Would not begrudge him that at all.
Well, he was persuaded at the last minute to stay when he singed the last extension. If he is to leave this summer for a fee it makes sense for the manager to talk him (and it) up.I reckon he's off (or he wants to go) – and the gaffer knows it.

Nothing to see here. And Pascal will certainly leave at the end of his contact if he doesn't leave in the summer,I would have thought, before his kids start Turning English.
