Was there any reason he started?  I did raise an eyebrow when he was named. Perhaps because I don’t rate him. 

 

As stated, Burn suspended, but then arguably had Krafth not got injured, he would have started alongside Schar rather than kelly.

Na, Kelly was always starting in Burns place. We get wrecked aerially if we are playing with Schar and Krafh.

Very poor for the first goal and had a few nervy moments, but he handled Antonio very well and made a very good tackle second half to stop a possible goal. 
 

I’m all for calling out the negatives but let’s not ignore the good things he did too.

 

this is not necessarily a defence of him, as I’d be putting Burn straight back in, but more a point that his performance wasn’t as calamitous as I’m reading online.

He was at fault for both goals, so no matter what he did right, pretty hard to overlook that.

Both goals he was absent. Reminds me of Bramble, which is good stuff completely undone by disastrous moments.

He was having a right old tussle with Antonio.

Antonio beat himself TBH, he was more interested in getting into fights than playing football. Absolute clogger.

Just watched the 2nd goal again, just as poor from Longstaff and Pope IMO

I agree with this. 
 

I wasn’t high on the signing.  Nothing from the eye test or stats excited me and he’s been worse than I even expected.  They play different positions but this guy is meant to be the Lascelles/Krafth replacement right? Couldn’t lace their boots on his performances so far. 

 

I'm not sure if he's even as good as Paully D at this point.

He's just a PL Akinfenwa.  He's there for the ball to be held up and let Bowen, Pacqueta and Kudus/Summerville buzz around him hoping to create something in the aftermath.  

 

If he weighs in with a few goals for himself, fine.  But it's not essential.

Not Bruno for losing the ball in the first place?

Just addressed that again in the Bruno thread.

It wasn’t great but not a massive error, and there was plenty of opportunity to stop the goal after that point so didn’t mention him
