Steffens double save

[Quicksilvera]

How good was that? Get the chequebook out Stevie!

 

[TeaCider]

Weirdly the BBC match report seems to be treating it like Steffen was making up for his own mistake, rather than it being another big moment for him.

I really rate him.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Brilliant again tonight. Noticed Roberts gave him a warm embrace at full time.

He must be buzzing with the reception he’s getting from the crowd now, with his own song tonight.

 

[parmoboy]

The fans seemed to be much more patient with him tonight. No loud gasps or groans from the stands when he left it right until the last second to release the ball.

Maybe fans have finally cottoned on to the fact he knows what he's doing.

 

[Nero]

The passing option he provides is crucial to how Boro build up the play. One moment tonight he got closed down, shifted the ball to his left and passed into a gap. It was largely unnoticed but brilliant.

 

[Diego]

He was class tonight and plenty of chants tonight for him from the crowd. I love big Zak Steffen. Fingers crossed he’s a Boro player next season.

Ah is that who it was, I was wondering! Great gesture from his team mate as he was absolutely delighted for him!

I have a suspicion that it’s all agreed.

 

[newyddion]

I think he’s top notch, would defo want him in the prem if we go up. Hopefully Man City take notice of the doyles and we get him for a bargain!

Hopefully

They seem to have a good relationship considering they’re competing for the same spot!

Something I noticed tonight is he's constantly shouting at his defence, letting them know where opposition players are and telling the lads what to do. He's probably been doing this all season but I hadn't really noticed it. We all know he's prone to a howler but let's be honest he's arguably on par with Randolph or better than.

 

[johnsmithsno2]

I was at the front of the North Stand v Burnley and was shocked by the amount of "Get rid!" and "What yer doin, man?" shouts, which he must have been able to hear.

I'm not in the Steffen's a world beater camp I see on here either like, but people seemed to have no idea that he's doing what the manager wants him to.

 

[Big_Nothing]

He filmed some kind of feature for ESPN at Borges in Stockton with parmos the other night. It's some way to endear yourself to the fans. Not something someone who wants to bail would do?

I noticed that too. He was good last night again. I think the crowd are growing more patient with him. Would be a quality signing in the summer but think it’s a big ask.

 

[Billy69_uk]

He is honestly like having another outfield defender at times.

The amount of time he is the out ball for a player under pressure is unreal.

 

[Abel Tasman]

He was class tonight and plenty of chants tonight for him from the crowd. I love big Zak Steffen. Fingers crossed he’s a Boro player next season.

I have always thought he was an excellent acquisition but there will be some on here waiting to pounce on his next error.

I didn’t think he left it ‘as’ last second as recent games. Don’t think the strikers put him under as much pressure with the ball at his feet. Nevertheless, a great game for him.

I’ve noticed that too, doesn’t seem to be getting put under as much pressure as he used to.

 

[Acklam_Lad]

I love him I think he is great.

Has the odd clanger every now and then but what keeper doesn’t.
