The biggest highlight of many for me today was, similar to last week, the performances of Stephens and Propper in centre midfield. They look like completely different players to last season’s weak links.
Stephens is transfomed as a player with more license. He was so limited just as a deep...
His footwork for his goal that counted was superb. Just subtle little movements that created the space he needed to get his accurate shot away. Lovely to see.
Trossard is a lovely player.
He already looks a far more natural footballer at this level than both Locadia or Ali J. And I say that as someone who quite likes Locadia.
