Totally agree with this. You can apportion blame to both the system and the individuals. The 3 centre backs did not know who should go to the ball and who should go with a runner, making it easy for Willian and hazard to find the gaps and play it round us.
Agree, Stephens and Propper have done really well this season and held their own in the top division. On Friday they were head and shoulders better than fellaini and pogba.
I'm not sure a player who is much better than both of them is going to be affordable for us. If Delaney is about equal it...
To be fair Stephens is worth about £8-10mil in the current market. Those functional players are very important, even if people don't always notice what they do, there's still plenty of Albion fans who think Dale is average!
