[Albion] Trossard

[Guinness Boy]

I remember it well and it was indeed. El Abd made the space for the free kick

Tross has dome more for the Albion

Of course he has. Been here longer, played more, more of a team guy. That's no reason to distil Vicente down to one run against Derby. If only we had a player who constantly moved the team forwards the way Vicente did.

Vicente was indeed class. But Trossard is playing against significantly better opposition too which we need to consider. I imagine peak Vicente was even better to watch though!

I think you're forgetting the day he single handedly destroyed the Pompey scum in 30 minutes. Now that WAS a fun day at the Amex.

Thanks for posting -- (just) before my time. Delightful player.

 

[Wellesley]

He's hard to like as he never looks happy but I think he's the most underrated player on here. Would be a huge miss if he went.

 

[Bodian]

The amount of backheels he does is simply ridiculous. And like the Gross Turn, it catches the opposition out almost every time.

 

[zefarelly]

He's in the Belgium Squad . . . . With ginger Kevin-the-Brian and that lot . . .that's good in my book.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

One of our most infuriating players as he is potentially our best. When he really has the bit between his teeth he’s next to unplayable. He was right on it playing in front of us in the 2nd half. Brilliant combination of skill and determination. Big game player.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He would not look out of place in any of the top Prem sides because he has real quality, and he showed it today.

 

[Pevenseagull]

He plays for us ... and Belgium.

Good player, room to improve, but certainly happy to have him.

Can't compare him to Vicente. Vicente isn't just the best player to play for the Albion, he is one of the best attacking midfielders in La Liga history.

The very fact we got to see him perform - albeit in his swan song - in the stripes is absolutely mind boggling.

 

[Swansman]

His form has been going slowly upwards again over the last few games after a couple of bad months and it paid off today.

He will be difficult to replace, Brighton pretty much cant win without him having a good day.

I would still bin him off but ****ing hell what a goal

Curious that his best performance lately is when Maupay is dropped. Coincidence?

Did Vicente's feet actually touch the ground? He appeared to glide over the surface and jink past players at will. I doubt we will see another player quite at his level in the stripes.

Just doesn't score nearly often enough unfortunately.

Trossard is good when he’s on song. Vicente was still absolutely different level .

Vicente was a Rolls Royce...

And this surely would have been one of the greatest Brighton goals every scored.

 

[portslade seagull]

Let's hope Trossard shows consistency for the last few games and doesn't go missing

 

[Marshy]

Vicente, best Albion player I am ever likely to see.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Trossard has absolutely contributed more. Vicente ability wise when he got on the pitch was a mile away. His touch, control and vision was outrageous. If he wasn’t broken mentally he’d have been a perennial top 4 player in any league you like.

Was he? I thought it was more broken physically?

Trossard can be brilliant (but as mentioned above seems to turn it on more in Big Games) but he couldn't ever reach the skill level of Vicente, regardless of opposition.

edit - but this thread is about Tross and he seemed excellent on the poor live stream I watched. He really can be a great player, if, as always, he can find more consistency. I expect he'll move on in the summer as implied I believe elsewhere.
