SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Interesting if we do look to buy someone, you would assume all our main targets are a RCB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I was literally thinking about his fitness this morning too. Seriously wtf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He was fantastic today on the whole, until that mistake. Desperately need him to bounce back quickly from whatever injury that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Real shame in that he's looked to have generally gone up a level so far this season. As a silver lining, maybe this can be our Isak/Wilson moment to get an athletic CB in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Quite happy seeing burn in his position for a few games and let Targett & Hall get some game time. If its any long than 4-5 games then we probably need to accelerate the persuit of a top CB partner for him on his return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The jump in class between Botman and Burn is huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Honestly think Burn is better as a LB than a CB, in our side at least, despite his limitations. If Botman is out for any period of time I think we'll experience a painful underscoring of just how good he is and how critical he has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiesteve710 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If this lad is out for any length of time we should be rejigging our tactics to gove the back 4 a bit more protection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 According to suspect Tweets, he didn't have crutches or any strapping leaving the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Botman injury is the worst possible injury for us right now, maybe except from Pope. Even the fact that he is a LCB instead of RCB is another thing that makes it even worse. Ciaran Clark is available for free.

Karjala Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 When that ball hit his backside, it would have dropped most likely safely, until it hit his heel and played them into score. Was immense before that. Fingers crossed for his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Didn't see what happened, just saw him limping off. I feared it was an ACL. Glad to hear it was the ankle, and not the knee. Edited August 27, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schecter Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It wasn't a mistake it was just a freak accident that the ball hit his arse then dropped onto his heal and landed at the feet of Nunez. Devine intervention for the favourite sons of Liverpool. But I thought he was immense. Burn was at fault for the second, stepped up and gave Nunez way too much space.

Aiston Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Blaming Burn on the 2nd is fucking insanity It's Bruno's fault and Bruno's alone. Burn cannot expect Bruno to fuck up and give the ball away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn stepped up trying for the offside but was way too late and ended up giving Nunez time and space to finish without pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It's bad defending as well as play by Bruno. However, we've also got to wonder how they effectively were able to outnumber Bruno despite being a man down and we were caught short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schecter Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) I was at the match, didn't clock Burn when I saw it but watched it back and he gave him too much space. Not looking for an argument I pointed it out simply because I was speaking about Botman and Burn came in for him. Bruno fucked up too but I wasn't talking about him.
