He really didn’t. If we are to pressure higher up, you would normally have a trigger player and know when to do it. Locadia did not, and whilst he had a thankless task yesterday, that does not impact on implementing a tactic or the ability to control, and fight for the right to have the ball...
3 times is generous in the extreme. I reckon once. He struggled to get his body between their defenders and the ball throughout.
Edit: He ran blindly offside a few times in a Manu like fashion, but this was not following him holding the ball up anything like effectively.

On way back. He was awful, but on a hiding to nothing to be fair.
Has no control, and the first time in the game the ball was successfully held up was when Murray came on.
I have been on the fence re Locadia since he joined, but am beginning to fall on the wrong side.
He doesn’t understand...
