[Albion] I'll have whatever Stephens and Propper are having

[Kalimantan Gull]

Davy is biting into tackles, and showing a range of tricks and skills. Dale is passing the ball forward at almost every opportunity, playing a range of worldly passes. Where has this been?!!

Thats two awesome games now, Arsenal and Everton. I mean we always knew they were good, and if you didn't like one you were usually a fan of the other, but we kind of accepted each was limited - but are they now each determined to become a complete midfielder?

Next stop : GOALS!!!

Could be down to coaching maybe ? [emoji23][emoji23]

Great to see anyway.

Prefer Bissouma to Stephens. He wasn't great today. You have Stephens tinted glasses because you've copped some stick for defending him on here recently. Weakest link IMO.

Guy just can't win. Superb again.

would say its down to ..... more freedom to roam forward as he is no longer playing the DM role side by side with Stephens but playing slightly left and forward as Stephens holds

def see him getting more forward in last 3 games than he probably has in the previous 17 games this season

Yeah, Propper has been wonderful since he was paired with Stephens again, such a massive improvement. Last two games best I've seen him play.

In your opinion.

In your opinion.

You really didn't think he played well? Show me defensive midfielders that win every challenge and I'll show you premier league and world cup winners. Couple of mistakes, sure, because he's EVERYWHERE. And today he was playing sweeping pass after sweeping pass, just like he was against Arsenal, and yet I'm sure we'll get someone on here slating him for playing nothing but 'backwards and sideways passes'

The Stephens detractors (“Championship quality at best”) have gone to ground.

Yet another win with DS at the heart of it.

Propper has always been quality he has just been held back. Playing him in this 4-1-4-1 releases his class and creativity.

Bissouma, He's the difference. For the first time Stephens and Propper Have real competition?

 

[Bladders]

Propper really showing his class now he’s playing further forward .

Possibly my MotM today

And today he [Stephens] was playing sweeping pass after sweeping pass, just like he was against Arsenal,

And I’ll have a pint of what you’ve been drinking.

Happy new year my friend!

I think so, yes.

I find your posts on the subject overly declarative. I think you will find he will have lower player ratings from the NSC faithful when compared to the rest of the team.

The formation change has been vital. When we played 4-4-1-1 Stephens and Propper's main job was destructive/protective. Now we're playing with three in the centre they all have the opportunity to get forward knowing that they have cover. Propper in particular is really showing what he can do now he's been let off the leash.

Anyway, on the bright side, the Albion just won a key PL match with a quality performance.
