Burn for me

Nar head and shoulders above burn. 

[nufc4eva]

Forgot how good he is and good to see him come through that game. Rolls Royce of a player.

 

Thiaw and Burn not bad either

[Lotus]

Best defender on the pitch by a mile.

[r0cafella]

Motm for me. 

[nufc123]

For all the Burn/Schar praise, hes our best and most talented CB.

[54]

Man of the match today, I kind of forgot just how good his line splitting balls where. 

[Rich]

Imperious. Fair play Sven.

On a piece of paper from 2 years ago sure. In practice two years later he needs to prove that again.

Nah, only need to go back last season against Spurs and Arsenal. Agree he has to stay fit and prove it over time, but its not any doubt for me.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He was canny good, like.

That's the thing though, he has to prove he's got the fitness to be what we think he is.

Between him and Burn for man of the match today, looked incredible and happy that he got through 90 minutes with no injuries.

Surely that proves he is who everyone says he is? If he's putting in the performances when opportunity is provided but isn't there often enough?

 

I think it would be a much bigger red flag if when he played and he sucked. (Aka Willock)

I need more than 3 good performances in 2 years to believe it personally.

He was better on the ball than Burn, he deserves the award more. 

 

At least we are defending well as a team.

Oh I'm not saying start him every game yet, just saying that when he plays if he performs it tells me still has 'it' 

 

Obviously he needs to be out there just like any other player.

[Sibierski]

Superb game from him. Really hope he can remain injury free as he was class on the ball. Just small things like doing a roulette past an attacker  

[toon25]

He's absolutely class. Just needs minutes now

[Casey]

If he can string a few games together without worry of injury I'll be well pleased.

 

Needs contract sorted along with Tino and Hall as all three are dead certs to be our future backline for the foreseeable so long as they're fit. 

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Great to get a full 90 out of him. He looked great. 

[The Prophet]

We have to find a way to get him into the team, he's class.

[Optimistic Nut]

So good when he's running back towards goal where it looks like back to Pope is the best option, where he drops a shoulder and heads it away from the forward and brings us forward.

That moment where he then accelerated away from Evanilson was class. Hopefully can utilise him across this season as has missed serious amount of games in recent times. I thought he was great today.

[Fenham Mag]

That was the Sven of old, long may it continue. 

[jack j]

Don't think we have scored a goal with a back 5 for what feels like about ten games now

 

Gotta be Botman and Burn in a 4 next week. Not arsed if they're both left footed
