Bit late now, if he's got one home game left, but...
Something to Kraftwerk's the Model...
"He's our German, and he's really good,
His Cruyff turn works better, than it really should..."

To be fair, so many of the players stood out yesterday. Not one player had anything lower than a 7.5 out of 10, most more.
But he was quality yesterday
What I loved was his ability to read the game so well, sensed when a Liverpool pass was coming in the direction of the man he was marking, accelerated to get to the ball and made the tackle/won the ball.
The last 12 months he (along with Solly) have been most improved players in my opinion
Always but that said shuffling the pack must be a lot easier when Groß is already on the pitch.
Oh and I want the other Groß thread back.

Gross is my favourite non home grown Albion player of all time, what a man.
He’s been here since the start of our PL era and my word what an impact he’s made, his footballing IQ is on another level, he can literally play anywhere on the pitch.
He was always singled out for being too slow but actually he’s one step ahead of most players, and now we have some other dynamic players on his level in midfield he is showing his full ability.

I agree with this, but there's no way MOM could be anyone but Solly

Veltman was a man possessed when he came in yesterday too. There must be something in the water
No, that's just Veltman up against a child who thinks he can cut it with the big boys.
Is it just me but has he gained a bit more speed?

Mid last season in one of Potter’s long non-winning runs, I thought Gross had had it, snail-like in the losses and draws.
Then his renaissance from those final match-weeks and then this season.
Amazing work, somehow, on his conditioning. Envious.

If he had just the slightest bit of pace, would be up there as one of the best footballers of his generation. Phenomenal player.
I definitely was. Its not because I thought he wouldn't do a decent job, but Veltman is the better and I thought at the time.more athletic defender. (Veltman was excellent when he came on by the way). But in these big games he clearly wants to find a way to have Lallana and Gross in the team for their brains. It's fine while Caicedo and Mac are in CM because their covering is ridiculous. Especially Caicedo.
There was one moment in the first half when it went to Solly and he was trying to 'overlap' was genuinely funny. He's so clever that you don't usually notice his lack of pace because he just knows when to go and gets a head start. But in this instance he'd left it a bit late and was grinding to catch up. He looked like he was pulling a tractor. Back arched backwards and legs going like the clappers. Me and the guy next to me just burst out laughing. Can't help thinking Solly slowed it down a bit to help him get there.

He is, IMHO, the most important player in the team. He holds it all together, just a crucial component of it all when it clicks like yesterday. An absolute hero.

Are the only positions pascal has never played for us centre back and goalie?

Sheepish hand up.
Love Gross, but i was more worried about their attack than I should have been. And find Veltman a reassuring presence.
