There may be a case for playing Propper as the number ten if Gross is still unfit. That way he won't have any defensive duties to neglect but can also play the role that he does for Holland.

Bissouma much the same, flatters to deceive but harder to criticise as he at least puts a shift in despite looking like a dog without a leash..
I agree with most of what you’re saying tonight but I feel Bissouma has talent. He needs to work on his tackling, and shooting....mainly when to...and not to...and I think he’ll be a great asset. I just hope out coaching staff see this and can remedy this.
Everyone 10/10, Alireza Jahanbakhsh 0.
I’m actually glad he was on the bench today, so that some of you don’t blame the loss on him, and you hopefully start seeing some of the midfield and defensive tasks he does well that are sorry missed in his absence.
A whopping one shot on target again.
One of the worst Albion performances..
Warren Aspinall said he had watched a few Dutch games and thought he could still get a game over there as the pace was so slow! B'mouth got Wilson from Coventry for less than £4m and Brooks from Sheff Utd for £11m, both miles better that the £30m we spent on AJ and JL. WTF are our recruitment team doing?
He's absolutely hopeless in 1v1 situations. He has other merits.
His time is now. Propper may have the glamour on paper of being a Dutch international, but he’s a liability in PL games now.

Actually I find your post extremely offensive. It's almost like. "Don't care if the team loses and deserves all it gets if Jahanbaksh doesn't play" This is a squad of players. When the team loses. Everyone loses. I am a big fan of AJ . He is a great footballer but his failings to find an "end product " recently . This in part has lead to seeking an alternative solution yesterday up front.Everyone 10/10, Alireza Jahanbakhsh 0.

And Kayal isnt? Get Gross back and Propper will step up again.
Ryan - 4
Montoya - 1 repeatedly left Duffy facing 2 on 1. A shocking lack of awareness of that.
Duffy - 3 Teetering giant outclassed by a mobile front line.
Dunk - 2 ditto, with some terrible mistakes.
Bernardo - 2 He caught Montoya’s disease
Stephens 4
Bissouma 4 Started brightly, then became a specialist in giving the ball away.
Propper 1 Outclassed, immobile, no pace, cringeworthy passing.
Locadia 1 Obsessed with showing that he lifts bigger weights that Bmuff’s RB and RW, outclassed.
Knockaert 3 Tried, drove forward, but selfish, didn’t support Montoya.
Andone 1 Simply didn’t turn up.
Muzza 3 He entered the pitch, then the team decided not to cross any more.
Izzy 1 The game passed him by, last season he was a good PL player.
Think I must have been watching a different game to you. You had Stephens as a 4 and therefore, man of the match?FFS. He was utterly dire yesterday.
Ryan 7 Didnt think he was too bad for a shortarse.
Montoilet 3 Bring back Bruno please
Duffy 4 pretty poor
Dunk 3 Disappointing and should be dropped for Dan Burn
Bernardo 3 More Bradford than Brazil
Knochers 5 At least he showed some passion. Stupid challenge.
Bissouma 4 Got lost
Stephens 2 Offering very little
Propper 4 Flat
Locadia 3 Tried
Andone 3 Didnt really feature
Hughton 2 kept a smile on for the post match interview. Running out of ideas.
