Mooy was awful today. Stephens was very good. Take a rest fella.

Whilst I appreciate game is 90mins meltdown on here was justified at half time. We were terrible for 70mins. After 2 down a fantastic point but stand by my pre match comments that side selected was wrong.and gives fuel to those that Potter has no idea what his best side is. Great that Murray got goal but his movement and running no longer anywhere near Maupay and still find it hard to understand why he was selected ahead of him. Coming on for last 20mins is a different matter. I can only assume Murray played to help with defending corners etc. Mooy again wasted stuck out wide because Potter insists on playing Propper and Stephens in central position every game.
We are so easy to break quickly against. Lose the ball near there penalty area and within a minute it is at best 4 against 4 in our half

Thank you Icy Gull and a few others for keeping the faith. Well done to GP for the brilliant(though not anticipated) subs of Schelotto and March. So glad for GP and the team. Who knows for sure whether we’ll survive but it sounded like there was only one team in it for the last 15 mins. Great for Murray too. Come on Albion!
Not great because not a winger .Without doubt our best along with Alzate our best central midfielder. Wont happen because Potter never willing to move Propper or Stephens away from there. Once again what did Stephens contribute today

I'm going to have to claim credit for the comeback. At half time I realised I'd forgotten to wear my lucky seagull's t-shirt. Rushed upstairs and the rest is history.

He really really wasn’t. Propper on the other hand.
Stephens was very good?!? He lost possession in dangerous areas which led to us coming under unwarranted pressure. He is the weakest link in this team alongside Webster.
Yes Mooy didn't have his best game but imagine we stuck Stephens on the wing. He would be useless. Mooy in the centre will be better with the ball and create more.
Watch Stephens closely - he often has space ahead of him but plays the ball back and kills momentum. Propper for example will spin and drive forward into that space. Stephens doesn't have the same awareness of space around him to be play CM at this level.

Stephens made some great forward cross field passes and was tough in the midfield imo, had a good game. Propper was MOTM match by a margin though
I guess many that don’t like Stephens can’t see any good in his play....ever
Mooy was OK but not the standard he normally is.

Lots of egg on face for the usual suspects who seem to revel in bad results and performances although to be fair we did look doomed at 2-0 and my mate at the game said a few of our fans were squaring up to each other at half time.
B-right-on

I don't understand why Dunky takes the free kicks since the Liverpool cheeky quickie one.
Gross is a much better dead ball player. Potter should just hand it to Gross and not let him pull rank on the pitch.

Unfortunately, NSC seems to be populated by a load of over expectant drama queens these days.
Gross has scored so many times it’s madness......oh
Lol
