I thought he was our best man alongside Spence. Had a few decent tackles, a few really good clearances and passes, showed good speed. Really promising, in my opinion.

Thanks. Wrong thread, but how did Spence do most of the game up against Salah?

Nope, the bit I'm wondering about is the longer pass. From the clips I saw, he has a bit of Toby about him with the longer ball.

he did a really good one out to Kulu last night, looks very good

I'm not an "analytic fan" by any means, so did not track his every move, but I think he did as well as you could expect against one of the top players for probably the best team in the world. We did double up on Salah quite a bit as well, though. Salah still got a few good crosses in, and had at least one clear goal chance inside our box, but I distinctly remember Spence following him well and tackling him out of his trickery a good few times. That being said, Spence going forward is something else (he was eventually moved up to play more as a winger as we kept conceding), and where he really shines, even yesterday, in my opinion. He gets past his men, has a burst of speed, and a willingness to attack that few others in that team have (bar Kulu).
