It is pretty bizarre mind. Clearly neither of them are trusted to get minutes which makes it all the more baffling. Dan Burn still playing every minute of every game.

Didn't sub the two knackered fullbacks with 6 others on the bench. What's the point in Hall/ Livramento, all that money spent and they aren't trusted. I can't understand why Burn is undroppable to be honest. I love Eddie but sometimes his reluctance to change anything until at least 70 mins does grate on me.

Leading to many against the odds triumphs, but much loss of life. I suspect Howe would win more battles.

The decision to blow the transfer budget on two full backs who he won't trust to see any real action is looking stupider every week, too. Not saying that was entirely on Howe but he will have had a say in it. Really hard to disagree. The summer looks worse and worse by the week; we're playing the exact same XI as last season in spite of the extra games and they're blowing out their arse in late October. Obviously much of that is unforeseen with Barnes' injury and Tonali's ban but the outlay on Livramento and Hall contrasted with their game time even in game situations like tonight look more puzzling as the season goes on.

Unless we are comfortably winning, chasing a game or losing badly - he’ll not take Burn off. Similar thing with the team shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Get why he wouldn’t sub some of our players in a tight game like this. But being 3-0 up at half time v Crystal Palace was the perfect time to rest the likes of Trippier and Burn, and give them a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Unsure how people can’t get into their heads that the decision to sign Tino & Hall was because they were available at this time and have the potential to be in the team for years to come, they weren’t necessarily signed for this season. They were signed because they’re going to be in the team for years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
