Maybe having refs dropping to the EFL from the Prem has a great disadvantage. They now leave the difficult decisions to their mates that are sat in an office miles away.
He wasn't even prepared to have his linesmen get involved with decisions nearer to them.
Funnily enough we said something similar before kick off about a PL referee without VAR and he missed so many obvious fouls that you have to wonder about the extent they now rely on technology.
Perhaps the next stage will be that all matches are refereed remotely without any officials on the pitch and that doesn't bear thinking about.
