andyc35i Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The only thing that makes me a bit off with seeing him on the right is the constant need to get the ball onto his left foot and how he shapes his body to receive it that way. It just looks odd and unbalanced to me and I can see Bournemouth targeting this with their pace and energy to close down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes to an extent though I wouldn't say best. We know Burn is limited. Hall growing into that position is protecting him a lot especially with Joelinton in that odd position. Our best CB pairing is still Schar and Botman. I'm not saying bench burn tomorrow. Just saying our best CB pairing is Botman and Schar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Something tells me if Schar was bad enough not to be involved against Wolves then another two days is probably unlikely to mean he's back to full health, so I'm gonna assume he's still out. Hopefully not. Think we missed him badly in possession Wednesday. It's the exact sort of game that suits him, likewise the arsenal away suited Botman/Burn.

Smal Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 yeah, would like Fab back in because Bournemouth will know Botman is a bit hesitant on his right and they're one of the best pressing teams in the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Hope saying Schar wasn't 100% in training yesterday, so my guess would be it'll be BDB and Botman again tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar’s passing has been off for a while and when it’s off we don’t really progress the ball through Burn. At least Sven can pass through to our midfield as another option.

alexf Posted Saturday at 17:16 Share Posted Saturday at 17:16 Was hoping he would start today. Teams are targeting Burn and Hall and putting their fastest player on that side. Not to mention most teams now just wait and let Burn have the ball and force him to play a forward pass and then nick the ball back. Happened time and again. Atleast with Sven you know he can ping a nice ball through the lines occasionally. Would have rested Burn for this and then maybe played him against Arse. But perhaps Eddie is playing to use Sven Wednesday. If he wasn't before I hope he does now. The defence hasn't worked for two home games in a row.

Theregulars Posted Saturday at 18:16 Share Posted Saturday at 18:16 Yeh could use him back now, might as well play your premium players. I don’t think Schär is worth his shirt currently but there is the issue of balance… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
