Tosin's mistake in this picture is that he wasn't tight enough. He needed to be tight and make it difficult for him to pick up a runner.
But he was like, "you won't go through me but you are free to pick out anyone you like."
Someone like Gabriel will put pressure and force him wide. These little details matter a lot in the act of defending.
You have to be aggressive always, make your opponent uncomfortable and force him to do what he doesn't want to do.
