Its really myopic of anyone (including you) to suggest that he is the weakest link in the SE.
For starters, the only thing wrong with the pass was that it was read and intercepted before getting to its intended target by Willian (something Willian successfully did at least 3 or 4 other times during the match). Unfortunately for Balogun, as soon as he intercepted the pass, he fed an open Hazard at the center line, and it was a footrace towards goal, which Hazard was going to win against ANY defender in the world.
Balogun has always outperformed (or played as good as) any other defender in our back line over the past 2 years. Even against SA, when he wasn't getting much game time in BHA, he still was head and shoulders above the other two center backs that played the match.
Calling him the weakest link is highly disingenuous on your part, to say the least!

The poor pass aside, he had a good game. But in fairness, passing is not Balogun’s strength. He’s old school style in the mold of a Cahill type defender.
