1 he controls the tempo of the game
2 he bridges play between defending and attacking
3 he plays more forward balls than gets credit for he might also give the ball away with those passes but not as often as you clearly think
4 his game management is fantastic
5 has a fabulous understanding with the 2 cbs and the more attacking players
6plays selflessly to the benefit of the team

I suspect there’s plenty more to his game but you get the point I hope

Sure, I will. He wasn't very good. Not very good at all. Mind you, he's coming back from three games out so, in some, ways, my expectations were low.

Does this mean I suddenly think he's not a good player or doesn't deserve a place in the side? No, not really. There were plenty of players who didn't turn up today - for the first half at least.

I don't understand slagging off players in the squad - they are there for a reason and go through patches of good and bad form.

My thread was started in September. Three months on, more people seem to be concluding that Mr Stephens is, actually, a bit of a liability.

To put things in context... A while back, just one Premier League club was said to be contemplating a big-money bid for Dale Stephens.

The club concerned? Burnley. 'Nuff said.
