Baird of the land Posted 20 March, 2022 Share Posted 20 March, 2022 Doubly annoying. Bad Mistake by stephens coupled with jammy livramento deflection on sterling shot. Elyounessi has looked very weak defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 20 March, 2022 Share Posted 20 March, 2022 I've always been willing to give Stephens the benefit of the doubt. He's not a first choice, but not bad reserve. This season, whenever I've seen him he's looked slow and far too casual. The game looks too quick for him. Not sure we have better options mind.

Usually when he has a decent run in the side he finds some consistency. But when he comes in every now and again, he always seems to have a mistake in him.

We desperately need someone who can do both adequately. He doesn’t need to be Salisu quality, just not a recurring source of screw-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears like another one of Ralph’s freakish team selections with him trying to be too clever. Got away with it v WH but not today. For me this is why we’ll never win anything under him or break the top ten. Also another reason why he won’t be a top top manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how quiet his last 3 games have been, he’s still much more of a goal threat than these 2. This game was set up for him at 0-0 to run in behind on the counter attack.
