Really good game management from Tuchel

Tuchel took a lot of heat for some of his roster selections, and notably if any of the "snubs" had made it, one of the guys who would have gotten edged out was probably Dan Burn, the 6'7" defender who came on for the last half hour of the game yesterday.

The guy won every header and made every clearance - it's almost as if he was on the roster for the specific circumstance of "what if we're down to 10 men and the other team is firing crosses at us for 30 straight minutes."
