nufc123 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hes really good. Perform like that after being out for so long. Did the same against Spurs after a sloppy start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Looked rusty as expected. Couple of times he wanted a bit too much time on ball, and I’ve forgot he’s not that much quicker than Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I thought he looked unbelievable, considering. Proper defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Took a knock and was having treatment at HT, decision to sub him was tactical though according to Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Great to have him back, looked very good for how little football he has played. We know he still has a few more gears to go through, which I don't think we'll see properly until next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Was feeling something in his knee. Please be nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 How good was it to see him back though? he hardly played this season yet when he does he contributes to us winning big games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Burn was great but you could see the difference in actual talent when Botman looked to play progressive passes. Tough choice between the 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Yeah Eddies going to have a hell of a decision to make next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 It's really noticeable when he's playing because the incisive pass is into midfield rather than by the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burn was 5 years younger I reckon Botman could have a problem. But given Burn is getting on and the money spent on Botman I think he’d probably pencilled in as the main LCB for next season. Glad he’s got a player of Burn’s calibre to compete against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 he was really good. I didn't see any rustiness in his performance at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
On the Grid Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Looked like Burn and Schar felt more comfortable with him back there...never flustered Edited May 11 by On the Grid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely is, he’s got that elite level belief in his ability too. All his decision making is so clear in his head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Tonali singled him out as one he loves to play with (in response to a question about which players he has the best relations with). As good a season as Burn has had in his position, I think Botman is held in very high regard amongst the squad. He's in that Isak, Tonali, Bruno bracket of being one of our best players. We just need to somehow keep him fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Forgot he was on the pitch a couple times and wondered why Burn was pinging diagonals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did exactly the same against Arsenal. He is our number one defender, as his passing opens space into midfield and also opens up the wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Ideally he'll be okay for Arsenal. I'd be happy with a back 5 of Tino, Burn, Botman, Schar and Krafth. Give Barnes a rest for this and get Murphy back at RW, Keep Gordon LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
