    He really needs to be dropped. What is the point of having competition if it doesn't matter what kind of mistakes he makes? He is Howe's favorite clearly, but his kicking and mistakes cost us too much.
  2. Burn is so awful on the ball, that it is really affecting our play. Also the fact that we have no players except Woltemade who like to receive the ball between the lines and turn.
  3. I dont get what Willock offers nowadays. He loses the ball so much, doesnt score or assist and doesn't defend very well.
  4. We are way too passive away from home. We try to press, and then when we cannot play like that all game, we drop to low block. But our passing is so shit we lose the ball way too easily and again no counterattacking threat.
  5. Gordon really is not #9 and should never ever play there. Burn is not a LB and should not play there (he is not playing there now I know)
  6. Everton can't survive playing like this. Will end up 3-1.

    Andorra’s starting goalkeeper tonight shares a name with a famous Newcastle striker from 21st century. Can you guess the name?
  9. Yes, and clearly teams are now targeting Burn every single game. It doesn't help that there is Botman next to him, who is almost as slow. I would play Thiaw LCB if Burn has to be at LB. Burn is also preferred because a lot of our set plays are now targeted to him.
  10. Yes, but most likely Eddie saw him at training and knew he wasnt ready. He was what, 18yo midfielder turned to fullback. Now he is England International. The problem here is that we have no other LB fit except Burn. Who is wayyyy to slow to be our LB. And Trippier's levels have dropped at RB. And our attacking plays are weaker, by a lot. Elanga has not shown anything yet, and I didn't like that signing at all. Hopefully Eddie knows what he is doing.

    I think he said in an interview Howe sees him as a 10 in 4-4-1-1.
  12. Hall played against Dortmund for example, and was horrible.

    But sometimes he has to, because we really cannot seem to be able to play past the opposition. But when he drop, Joelinton/Ramsey or Bruno/Gordon/Barnes/Murphy/ should be making runs in that space that he opens up. Now he drops and no movement is going past him. That really is poor from Eddie and midfielders. He will create a lot and score a lot, but not with a team that asks him to fight for long balls and chace down defenders. He is a pass first player, unlike the rat who was clearly a finisher. We need others to score more with this setup. I think he will work very well with Wissa.
  14. I think top5 is out our reach this season. Top8 perhaps. Attacking play is too weak.
  15. I didn't see second half fully. Was there other injuries beside Joelinton?
  16. Selling Targett and not getting a LB was criminal.

    He seems to punch all the time now, and is not very good at it.
  18. Thats a penalty, but surely there was a foul before that?
  19. Elanga quite often seems to be on his heels and react too late. These things will come in time when he knows what runs to make and when.

    He hasn't been good, but he is such a skillful player.
