The thing thing that concerned most people was that McT clearly didn't come on to get a goal or 2. It was a straight like for like replacement (tactically) in a defensive midfield role. If Amrabat had been available he surely comes on instead as a natural in that role. I know people don't want to hear this but Scott actually did quite well in his passing and ball winning/physicality yesterday, that is were Ten Hag's energy comment comes from. He has never been a good reader of the game defensively and it doesn't help that the DM in this idiotic set up has been exposed all season, with countless cut back goals against.
Having said that I still think it is very harsh to blame McT for the second goal, he goes across to cover when Yates picks the ball up and drives towards the right, making it a 2 v 2, Varane/Evans and AWB should be able to deal with the threat in the middle.
