I include Websters wrong foot awkward back pass against West Ham, though not strictly fannying about, in days gone by it would have been hoofed out, or attempted whack up the line. In any case, it prompted the famous words.
Except Lallana again, I think he was the only player not to have touched the ball in the build up, though his positioning made space for Gross to collect Lamptey's assist.

We could have won the league last season, we just had to beat 5 sides that the league table tells us we were better than.
