When the challenges came right at him he was good actually. No one got round him.
Didn't look comfortable to me a lot of the time though, ball spooning up in the air around him. Very unsure of him and Mings communicating, they were either too narrow or had someone between them and neither marking.
So negative in possession, it kills moves dead. It kills us holding possession at all dead. Ball makes it's way out to him, he ponders, waits for everyone to get closed down then goes back to the CB who now has few options other than the keeper.
Why a new £10-14m player wouldn't start ahead of him is perplexing. I worry for us in that area if Taylor is a better defensive option.
Hause? Mings? Give me McGinn or Marvelous there ahead of Taylor.
