hakka Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 10 hours ago, Ronaldo said: Surprised not to see him mentioned tonight. He was really, really good. His physical presence was excellent. He has a good knack of bullying the opposition without drawing fouls. It definitely unsettles the opposition. So him shoving Gordon around was delightful to see.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I think he's generally been pretty comfortable in his new role. Sometimes looks a bit odd to see him changing little wingers around, but he hasn't really been exposed too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Funny how we all see things differently. I thought Burn had an ok game but some of his passing and made me think Targett will be back in soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Defensively he's excellent (although sometimes a little scary in our box). However, we need a much much better left winger if Burn is going to play left back. Offers absolutely nothing going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trio of ASM, Joe, Targett worked really well. With ASM out as has been pointed out we tend to slip into a 3 at the back to allow Trippier to bomb forward, knowing as well that Murphy will race back to add solidity with ASM wouldn't find natural Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Something funny about such a gigantic left back. He's good though. Poor targets probably done for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Thought he was Dan Burned for the 1st 15 mins or so. They could’ve been 3 - 0 but we made adjustments and he looked a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general that system works well and Dan is performing really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 It’s one of football’s great mysteries how this lad doesn’t get skinned for pace very often. I think Antony and Gordon managed it once each and someone got completely behind him yesterday but overall it’s amazing how little space people get down our left given the fact he’s not pacy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Not really. I don’t think he is that slow, and in fact he uses his big body quite well and it’s hard to dribble past him. Antony tricked him by off the ball movement prior to getting the ball. Kudos to Antony. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I don't think he's particularly slow he's just rangey so it looks that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 There was a game during lockdown/last season where he got absolutely roasted at Brighton for pace; can’t remember who against but he was awful. He seems to have learned a bit from that. He uses his body and is good at snidely pulling players to make up for his lack of mobility. Like the rest he was absolutely fine yesterday.

Norseman Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Huge goal saving tackle from him to stop Buendia at 0 - 0 today. He's played a big part in us being so good defensively this season. This back four of Trippier, Schär, Botman and Burn is so, so competent and balanced, both defending and going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
