“Our best player”
“our worst player”
“Stevens excellent after a v.dodgy first 30 mins.”
“McClean looks like a passenger in the team. Think Stevens did ok given that he’s having to carry him”

Yes he’s McClean ahead of him, so it’s basically him on his own defending, attacking doing everything, he’s running the ball out each time”“Mcclean is trying to play in all the positions, this leaves Steven’s isolated and outnumbered. But he has made unforced errors too”
“Stevens horrendous first 30 minutes.”
