That Eze goal was exhibit A in how effective it can be when it works. Last year, Lumley would have smashed that clearance forward rather than looking for a short pass through the middle first.
Exciting times.
And we won't talk about Scowen trying to present evidence for the prosecution in the first couple of minutes... |  | | |  |

I don’t think Scowen’s going to cut it at this level in a pass and move team, his distribution just isn’t good enough for that.
But I’m amazed at how good some of our passing was today and as you say that Eze goal was just pure class, a cut above anything we’ve seen in a few seasons!
Hopefully more to come as this team starts to gel! |  | | |

Well strictly speaking, immediately before that passage of play Lumley hit a quick and accurate long pass straight to Bright in the opposition half while Stoke were out of position from their own corner. Couldn't get the better of his marker and we patiently kept possession, played it back and started again. So horses for courses passing-wise, and above all using our brains being the watchword. Pleasing stuff.
Stoke giving Eze a free gallop to goal from the centre circle straight down the middle does wonders for the tiki taka too...! |  | | |

Lovely to see Barbet immediately saluting Lumley for that bisecting pass once he's moved it on. Team growing together, teaching each other. And great to see Barbet - passing fundamentalist that he is - taking a leadership role preaching the gospel. | | | |

Playing out from the back is great in a transition like that as the opposition aren't set.
Playing out from the back at a Goal Kick when the opposition is set is asking for trouble IMO. |  | | |
