I think Nelson would have controlled the ball and at least run to the byline. Even if he lost the ball, he would have the legs to run back. This game suited Nelson much better.
How? Mkhitaryan literally created the chance where Kolasinac was half a yard off side, if Kolasinac holds his run he still gets there and we still have a good chance of scoring. Vs Newcastle and Burnley Nelson created absolutely nothing. There's no reason why Nelson should have came on today, there's no basis for him making a difference to this game. At least with Mkhitaryan he has some history of creating chances even if he's not of the quality we'd like. I don't think it was the game for throwing a young lad in there and hoping he does something when he didn't do anything under less pressure against two weaker opponents.
