AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Have to admit I forgot how good he is. He’s genuinely a world class defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Doesn’t deserve to be dropped per se however we’re far more balanced with Schar on the right, and Burn is currently undroppable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Was probably my MOTM last night, thought he was class. Makes it look so easy taking the ball of people at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also everyone is a professional in the squad/on the team, unlike here. He’ll be fine if he gets “dropped” on Saturday like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 You can make an argument that Eddie may “rotate” again on Saturday. Southampton away with a full week between games will be the interesting one when everyone is potentially back fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Burn and Hall also got a great understanding right now, which you don’t break it up mid season unless it’s an enforced change. Edited January 16 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 We miss a bit I'd balance with Schar, along with his range of distribution, but on current form Botman and Burn should be first choice. Schar had been below his usual high standards this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I thought our ability to pin them in was mostly down to Sven being his usual self winning aggressively at midfield. He was fantastic imho. Been out for ages and he’s slotted in brilliantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
