He was the busiest and did very well

...he's very composed but he lacks the attacking dimension in the top third. He was regularly the out ball and found himself in good positions but his crossing was poor. I know folk think he's a CB but I think he would struggle physically in a flat back four.

I thought the Norwich lad in front of him today was poor which didn't help his cause.
 

Holgate is a fantastic centre half for his age and game time/experience. I'd be much more comfortable with him playing as 1st choice next to a big, ball winning, but also technically gifted centre half next season. Far more confident in him than Mori, jags and Williams.

Never a right back though.
 
Would you say that Ben Chilwell on the left had a better game?

I never said I rated Ben Chilwell as a player but his crosses were better. Look how many times in the first half Holgate had a ton of space and either hit the first man or cleared the last man. He's a useless modern day full-back but I forgive him, as he's not a full-back.
