Optimistic Nut Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It's now 13 Champions League games since he signed for us, he's started 5 of them, they're our only 5 clean sheets. There's absolutely no excuse for Burn to come back in this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Like Miley people here were quick to say he's not good enough, he's a top level defender and players of his quality are really hard to come by, i'm interested to see if anyone can dig stats on how we preform with him on the field vs without him because in my head we are significantly better whenever he's on the pitch.

If Sven drops clangers at centre back like he did earlier this season then Burn should come back in Thought he played really well tonight albeit against little to no threat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a sinking feeling he'll push Botman right and drop Thiaw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Every time Burn loses his place one of our starters suddenly gets an injury. One of Botman or Thiaw will get injured in the next few weeks. Big Dan Burn doesn't do bench sitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why people were a bit apprehensive about him signing a new contract and not just the injuries. He played well tonight but you'd be disappointed if any of our defenders struggled tonight against that opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Proper man against boys performance from him tonight. Looked almost nonchalant at times. I can recall one or two bad performances from him this season but mostly it's felt like he's rolled it back to 22/23 when he's featured. Delighted he's committed himself to us and pray he stays fit cos he's really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 And some were questioning giving him a new contract Him and Thiaw = best centerback pairing in the league. He's immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Burn's a very good defender, don't mean to imply he isn't. He's just definitely up to nefarious shenanigans to ensure he keeps playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
