He was very good. But he always looks uncomfortable when he has to press high and follow attackers over the halfway line.  
 

His lack of mobility means he’s susceptible to yellows like the one he got today and then looking unsure whether to stick or twist for the rest of the game. The other team know it and he’s then on thin ice. 
 

It leaves us vulnerable to counters and means we are back to having that big space between defence and midfield.
 

Botman and Kelly would be a lot more comfortable doing this. But one isn’t available and one hasn’t shown enough to be starting.

Don’t understand what he was doing for their goal. Also, his inability to get tight to a player outside his penalty box is problematic.

But, he put in some crucial tackles/blocks today. That bit is undeniable.

Not sure what any of them were doing. Schar is miles off and then slow to react to the through ball. Hall tries to get round on the cover but doesn’t get there. Tino was weak as fuck with his challenge when I thought he was favourite to nick it. He is usually brilliant in similar situations.

For me Tino was primarily at fault for being weak as piss with the shoulder charge which was effectively non existent and it was purely because he didn't want to give a pen away - it seemed.

Yup, Burn was far too far forward for an immobile CB who runs like forest gump, left a huge gaping hole in CM that Tino had to try and fill

 

If Burn was in position then he would of easily out muscled Welbeck
