Stephens, please relieve your duties as captain, or day I say it, footballer?

He's made one really ugly error. Cut him some slack.

He was never going to get a red, far too composed a player. Martin must the only manager who takes off a centre half with 30 minutes to go becaus he's on a yellow. Its utter bollocks. There is no need for it.

If he was that composed, he wouldn't have got yellow carded would he?

He made two

Arguably he was at fault for the cross too

He isn’t very good, he’s never been very good

He is a reactive defender that suffers from too much nonchalance or lapses in concentration… he absolutely doesn’t fit this system and for one reason or another has never worked in a partnership with Jan

The issues have all been caused by Jack Stephens. 

We have made a raft of subs. Swansea are on top. How is that all Stephens fault?  I'm not even a fan of his, but struggle to agree with that assessment.

Well, turned from one of our best performances to a bit of a forgettable game

RM has to learn that the THB > Stephens sub cannot be so scheduled, and can only be afforded when the game is out of sight from now on

A new club record however, so well done to everybody involved

Eyes on Leicester v Ipswich for Monday, the more optimistic could make a case for any result being a good one, but I'm taking a Leicester win for the short term

Winning 3-1.

Unbeaten in 20.

2nd in the league.

Instead of revelling in that, let's all moan about and scapegoat one player instead. Good god alive, I hate our fans sometimes.

As you say loads and loads of positives BUT if we want to stay second then RM will have to have a bit of a rethink.
 

Stephens only plays if absolutely necessary (and bringing on the new lad was unnecessary, needs to time to bed in).

This performance -  and to some extent the last few performances -  has shown us that the first team have well and truly clicked, adding power, pace and movement to the possession and passing-accuracy game. The second string substitute configurations however, are not quite there yet.

Stephen’s defensively not good enough.. on the ball, in this style of play not good enough. But not taking anything away from That first 45 mins, that was brilliant but the subs totally disrupted our play and had no effect whatsoever.

Don Goodman thinks Swansea have been the better team. 

In the second half he said, which it be fair they probably have been

alrhough im still laughing about his comment “if the post hadn’t been there he’d had scored” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stephens playing Bolasie on there. He's not on the same wavelength as the others. 

He must have been 50 cm deeper than his partner?

This 2nd half really is quite the reality check.

How 😂 ignore the 20 unbeaten, the great football, the goals scored...one second half performance where the game was over is the true measure of reality.
