Schar is well past his sell by date and clearly coming to the end of his time here, just waiting for Eddy to say "I don't want to break the squad up" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, Ikon said: Could have used his ball playing ability today. Schar’s passing has been off for a while and when it’s off we don’t really progress the ball through Burn. At least Sven can pass through to our midfield as another option.

alexf Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Was hoping he would start today. Teams are targeting Burn and Hall and putting their fastest player on that side. Not to mention most teams now just wait and let Burn have the ball and force him to play a forward pass and then nick the ball back. Happened time and again. Atleast with Sven you know he can ping a nice ball through the lines occasionally. Would have rested Burn for this and then maybe played him against Arse. But perhaps Eddie is playing to use Sven Wednesday. If he wasn't before I hope he does now. The defence hasn't worked for two home games in a row.

Theregulars Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Yeh could use him back now, might as well play your premium players. I don’t think Schär is worth his shirt currently but there is the issue of balance… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Need to be ruthless and bring him in. Burn has been very good this season of course but decisions like this need to be made imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If he comes back in he replaces Schar, even if it fucks up the balance in possession. If you want him to come in for Burn you want changes just for the sake of it. Sven and Burn cleared everything against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Sven can pass through to our midfield as another option. They would regularly let Burn have the ball under no pressure. Then try and shut off passing lanes, get tight to Bruno, Hall etc. Then they would press Schar quite a bit when he got the ball. Smith-Rowe would do that. Jimenez, who was brilliant BTW. Would just loiter near Burn waiting for scraps. Becoming a bit of a theme. Bournemouth did similar. They were trying to isolate Burn out of position and win second balls. Just like at their place and all. Either Botman gets a shot for certain games or Howe needs to find a way round it. EDIT: Agree with the above post, though. For Arsenal, I’d play Botman and Burn because of their long balls and set pieces. They were superb in the first leg.

Think this is why we've been much better when Isak has been more involved in the build up like he was in most of the winning run. It pulls teams about a bit more and makes us less predictable. He barely came deep at all today. Didn't get much central play from Gordon or Murphy either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
