Nico, Lloyd is an outside player. He runs his guts out and gets in to space to receive the ball and then he is able to help us keep it moving forward, which he does superbly well. Sure, he is not a great tackler or contested ball winner but, very likely for that reason, that is not the job we ask him to do. There is a place in our team for a player like him. Indeed, I am grateful we have him. Especially at the moment when we are struggling and he is one of the few really putting in a lot of effort.
Incidentally, I did see him tackle today but it wasn't an effective tackle which is perhaps why it wasn't listed in the stats. At least he tried.
