Absolute steal again and a proper midfielder who has vision, can tackle, pass, remains calm in tight areas and get box to box and has goals in him ( He will score soon )
Gets his head up to see what's on even before he receives the ball and has a great touch.
Him and Bassuma had a great game yesterday and they covered each well when one went to join the attack.

Lost count of the number of times yesterday Davy initially looked second best to get to the ball, but he somehow got there and got a decent touch..........very, very good footballer

So all of our signing from the Erevedsie have been rubbish have they? Propper is at least one player who proves that opinion is nonsense.

His tackles, movement and use of the ball are all excellent.
Everything went through him yesterday and he was definitely MoM for me.
He’s pretty consistent in most games and needs good players around him to read the opportunities he creates.

He has become our best player over the course of this season.
I love his passes with the outside of his boot. I remember a couple last season, straight into Izzy's path.
Classy cultured footballer.
When he starts adding the goals, that are undoubtedly in him, we will struggle to keep him.

At least he's keeping busy.
Davy and some penguins are on Film 4 in an hour or so.

One of the untried tactical formations is Propper off Murray or Andone, or even Locadia. If it’s good enough for Holland...

Only 2 things wrong with your post:
a. Bissouma is nowhere near in Proppers class or ability yet, perhaps one day he will be. Potential yes but now not at all.
b. Stephens should be the first name on the team sheet each week as he is our engine.

He's been our best player since his debut, quality central midfielder and anyone who can't see it is beyond help.
One massive thing wrong with your post. Stephens should be nowhere near the first name on the team sheet. We’ve moved on from him, Propper and Bissouma are far superior players. If he’s our engine, no wonder we’re so slow, predictable and boring.
Stephens is nowhere near Propper's class either. I strongly suspect we're moving from 'is the first name on the team sheet' to 'was the first name on the team sheet'. Would be no surprise at all if we stay 433 then our preferred starting midfield by the end of the season will be Propper, Gross and Bissouma. It was obvious yesterday Bissouma had been told to curb just a bit of his usual attacking instinct in acting as a late Dale replacement, but he has the potential to be a significantly better midfielder given time and a bit more maturity.

Well, many people on here have derided the 'rubbish' signings we have made in the past from the Dutch League. Propper appears to be an exception.

Thats exactly what l was championing earlier in this thread, we are chronically short on goals from midfield, so surely it's worth a try. I think we will see an even better Davy Propper with his first goal under his belt.
Dutch international this one was a no brainer. Hilarious when fans were writing him off last season.
Don't think he's any better than midtable prem though, too slow and doesn't score enough to be top 6.

Well let's face it, we are no better than mid table anyway, so we are a good pairing at the moment. He is also playing a very restricted role under Chris Hughton, and given license to roam and get forward a little more could be better still. Either way, when he finally bags his first goal it is going to do him so much good, and l feel sure it will quickly lead to a few more.

Thought Propper was out MOM yesterday, but also though the other two were poor. Bissouma gets the wrong side of the ball too often at this stage of his career and some of his decision making is questionable but he will improve and we may see a very good player next season. He carries the ball quickly and just needs to get used to the PL. Gross on the other hand worries me, in the No.10 role his dead ball delivery and ability to pick a pass were excellent. In the more box 2 box role he's playing now he can't get about the pitch quickly enough to affect either end of the pitch positively and I think his place is under pressure. I'd prefer to see Kayal in there than Stephens personally.

He is a sublime player who continually flies under the radar. The last three games ignoring a perfect storm of attacking football from Fulham he has been superb.

strong and stable with me, or...
Thought Bissouma struggled yesterday in a game we were dominating. He has real potential, but I wouldn’t be putting him in Propper’s class and a long way from being far superior to Stephens.
