Oh crap. Lacazette looked like he got a little touch on Stephens pass, then a good ball, but weak from Valery. Good finish, maybe McCarthy went down a bit early.

Fannying around giving it away. Just play it long when under pressure.

You do realise this style of playing out of the back is part of our success? It was the execution which was wrong, not the idea.

Terrible start defensively. Bednarek almost gave them a goal; Stephens went one better.

Dozy passing throughout the team.

Indeed. I guess some people will never get it

Stephens doing Stephens things once again. As a few of us pointed out, not a Premier league player no matter how many clean sheets he’s been involved in. Shite.

Defence looking wide open so far. Unsettled due to the changes I think.

Not unsettled, Just not good enough. Valery, Stephens and vokins (at the moment) shouldn’t be anywhere near a PL team. 
 

edit: slightly harsh in Vokins. Playing well, especially going forward and linking with Stu.

Of course but sometimes it's necessary to be aware of immediate danger. Stephens was fannying around.

Agree definitely about Valery. So loose and lackadaisical. But we’re down to the bare bones as someone once said.

If he plays next game I believe it will be his 100th PL appearance. He's no van Djik but I think he can safely call himself a Premier League player.

You're right, playing out from the back is the right thing to do, Stephens just isn't good enough at that side of the game.
