I think overall he's been pretty solid for us in the back 3, and has had a couple of standout games.
The first half we had problems getting through Perths pressing

They let us have the ball and left Burns and Gypo Miller free
Problem was they were massively isolated so had nowhere to go when they got it

The solution to this is to dribble forward , play into feet and turn or 1-2s etc
Problem is we kept doing the wrong thing which was to play into traffic

Perth were all over this tactic and were stepping in and intercepting balls

Dimi was the chief cause as on several occasions he waited for the ball instead of moving to it and not letting his opponent past him

2nd half Perth tired and we made our way through the lines much better by 1-2s dribbling past people etc

A lot of the cheap ball on the right we coughed up was down to our players not protecting front position and being first to the ball etc

If anything Arroyo Roy and Dimi needed to be much better at keeping the ball than they were. They just didn't get hold of and retain enough ball for us
