Tieleman had tracked far back to receive the ball. It would be foolish for Partey to keep running behind him that far without knowing if he was really going to receive the ball. As soon as he got the ball, Partey made the move. Who would have thought that someone playing LCB role marking a runner would ball watch and lose the runner by a mile when he got the ball?Not really. Partey should have blocked the pass if we’re playing perfectionist football here.
If you play a high line you’re meant to put pressure on the ball to prevent people finding the through ball...
