Kanj Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) They saw him make his debut and play 3 mins and at least kick the ball! Nah the atmosphere and win, perfect stuff for them to see. Edited August 6, 2022 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Also, Sven is huge. We seem to be collecting a few monsters. Pope looks like a physical freak too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think Howe might switch to 3 at the back vs City. We went to 3 at the back when Botman came on today, I know it wasn’t for long but he took up the central position with Burn to his left and Schar to his right. Against City/Liverpool I think we will go with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Nah fuck that, just play how we do against them, if we’re not good enough then let that be the case but don’t change who we are to try and get beat 1-0 instead of 3-0.

Southampton was his first start which was the 6th game, then started every game until the end apart from the Spurs game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just now, Rich said: Does he keep the place now? Hard to say as Burn was also decent today. I think there’ll be a bit of interchange before he starts playing er’ week. Plus we’ll probably get hosed against City and Liverpool regardless.

Yorkie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Revert back to Howe's Plan A if Targett is fit, imo. Nowt's getting past Dan Burn atm and I believe the manager if he thinks Botman will benefit from observing and getting educated before nailing down the place.

NWMag Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Still think next week we go 3 at the back, and then whoever is better out of Botman/Burn keeps the shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Makes a bit of a mockery of Howe's philosophy if he drops Burn tbh, I doubt it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 44 minutes ago, Rich said: Does he keep the place now? Not fussed either way if it’s him or Burn. Wild that CB has become arguably our strongest position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) There was a moment in the 1st half where he stepped up out the line, won the ball as soon as the Brighton player touched it and played it straight through the midfield to Wilson’s feet. Burn has done nothing wrong and they are both defensively sound, but Botman for me can probably create things in an attacking manner that Burn can’t, so he would get the nod for me.

Tsunami Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thought he did really well today, Burn did canny at LB as well, certainly better than I expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the move Burn loves but was maybe too eager to do it in the end of last season and cost us the Everton game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked hesitant/ nervous, kind of catching up with the pace of the prem when defending/reading, but didnt look like making any errors either. decent at passing, but prefer it on the deck as his long balls were not zeroed in tbh. Good first game, will take him a few to get up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Harsh to say this to Burn but I’d fancy Botman dealing with Man City over Burn any day of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not following you. Surely a back three would be Schaar, Burn, and Botman with Trippier and Targett. Are you penciling in Lascelles? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Thought did well, wasn’t an easy game and handled himself well. Didn’t seem to let Welbeck get the better of him physically as well which is something I thought Schar had more issue with yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
