Zack Steffen today

He has a very casual style of play with the ball at his feet. It's not to everyone's taste and some will have their heart in their mouth at times but strangely I never feel nervous.

He leaves it until the very last second to release the ball, as he's aiming to draw their player towards him, which then frees up space for a team-mate who he can pass to.
I said EXACTLY this to my brother at the game today. We were both moaning about how people around us always complain about him being 'too relaxed'.
Don't get me wrong, I think he sometimes makes mistakes, like today with that short pass to let back, but it's fundamental to our style of play and how we build our attacks.
If you think it's wrong (like bernie slave does) then you don't know the modern game.
 
Thought he was good today. Makes the occasional error but some of his distribution is excellent and it gets us on the front foot. There's the odd times he lives on the edge, but most of the time it's our fans taking out their own anxiety on him.
 
I had kittens when he strolled along the 6 yd box and the Watford lad nearly hooked itt in from behind. Keeps the old ticker bouncing.
