When we’re playing teams at home that park the bus, having Svenjamin’s ball playing skills helps like. BDB is the classic “comfortable on the ball but can’t do owt with it”, which is one step up from Jamaal “controlling a grenade” Lascelles but nowhere near as accomplished as Botman.

Why didn’t he start?

 

I don’t want unnecessary rotation at CB.  
 

My concern was that this was a bit of a luxury transfer and rotating him would feed into that fear. 

Had a slight niggle apparently. The amount of set pieces we had, he’d have been handy today

I'm not sure if it's a 'luxury' but more clearly someone who they've identified as the long term first choice option at CB and didn't want to risk losing out on. 

 

There's probably the argument to be made we'd have been better off this season with Burn at CB and using those funds for a winger or a Maddison type signing but long term it makes sense.

He is by far better in possession and positivity with the ball also. Nearly all Burns balls go sideways. He is also by far more of a threat at set pieces. Botman should be one of the first names pencilled in to the team sheet. Let the others be rotated to play alongside. 

There was a lack of movement and showing for passes today. I'm not sure Botman changes that.

Another error from Burn again today. Get Sven back in.

I can understand why Howe went for Burn today. I do think he looked a littlebit shaky, and not his normal self leading the back line.

Solanke and Tavernier where just to good for him. Also his positioning on their goal was awfull and cost us a goal.

That’s the argument I have.

Botman dressed like a man who dictates his inner thoughts every night to an assistant who is hunched over a typewriter.
