Trossard’s inexplicable pass aside Saliba’s situation was far from impossible

Half the EPL teams play a high defensive line where CB’s face these sort of balls over the top.

Evanilson isn’t a speed merchant and has one goal in 600 minutes of play for them, hardly a peak Ronaldo.

I fancy Saliba in a foot race against him over 30 odd yards.

But 19 out of 20 times, Saliba's positioning would have been fine as the Bournemouth player would have been offside if a teammate had made the same through ball. I believe it was the unexpected situation that Saliba found himself in that made him react in the way he did.

I'm sure Saliba would fancy himself in a foot race too! He had a brain freeze.
