Interesting to see how the Botman Burn partnership works. Seeing as Burn has arguably been our best CD this season it could be Schar who ends up the odd one out if they click.

 

Given Botman is coming in cold, I would think Burn will be shifted to the right. Would be asking a lot for Botman to come in cold and play out of position as well.

How cold is he ? Eddie says he's had 3 games and depending on the intensity of those plus that of the training will have helped make the decision.

I just assume playing U-21 football is a lot different to a full pelt Premier league game. But Eddie's not the type to take chances so yeah, I guess he must be pretty confident Sven is ready.

Bunce will have okayed him starting, these decisions are no longer ‘on Howe’ (when they go wrong). 

 

That's going to fuck with some people's heads.

 

"Ultimately Howes the manager and he's responsible". I've already found them a way out. [emoji38]

Well you do have to start asking if he's the man for the job if his team selections are so heavily dictated by the expertise of staff dedicated to the fitness of players.

 

But hey. Don't shoot the questioner.

I think it was the right decision to put him from the start, he's had sometime now to fully recover and as per Howe he played three games, last time we've put Kelly on we lost at home to West Ham and Botman is one of the best young defenders in the world, the sooner we have him fully fit the better it is for our season.

He took a bit of a hit, then rubbed his knee which had me wincing, I'll admit - me more than him, mind.

 

Thought he's been really good for someone that should be rusty at this level.  Huge player for the rest of the season
