Bruno might as well stand pointing in the direction of our goal when it happens. They just need a kick up the arse and told to cover. or kick ‘em in the balls!

I can’t argue that - but they simply don’t do it. And Schar can’t be blind to that. It works better when Joelinton and Willock play, as they offer cover on the left & do the defensive work, allowing Burn to tuck in (BDB gets called all sorts on this site, and people wonder how he plays ahead of Livramento - for me, it’s because Burn allows Schar and / or Trippier to bomb on more).

That's a load of shit, Tino is twice the player Burn is, attacking and defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not someone who can tuck in and cover at centre half though, is he? NB I wouldn’t pick Burn ahead of Livramento either. But I also wouldn’t allow Schar to think he’s fucking Beckenbauer, and I would tell the dozy sod to stay in shape / formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Milan had FOUR forwards on at that point. A draw meant they were out of Europe entirely - what Schar did was take a wholly unnecessary risk and we paid for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covering someone who’s out of position when the oppo has the ball is something you’re taught as a kid? It’s very basic. And the fault of the midfielder.

Pata Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) 22 hours ago, TheBrownBottle said: Who is more likely to cause problems in the opposition area - Bruno or Schar? Think it's very close, Bruno has a bit better passing but Schär shoots a lot better and has the element of surprise. Personally I wouldn't blame him when we concede after his runs forward unless he stupidly loses the ball on the halfway line, someone simply has to cover his position.
