Holmesy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Wasn’t the whole criticism of Howe that he didn’t put Burn at CB? He kept Livra at RB, put Krafth at CB (and we conceded immediately) Burn at LB and only changed it when Livra got injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 6 minutes ago, Holmesy said: When you’re conceding 3 goals per game, something is badly wrong. We’re weaker at RB, the keeper is the same, one of the CBs is the same. What else has changed? Burn has been much better at LCB in this short stint than Botman had been since his return from the injury. That's honestly the main change for these couple of games.

Tino LB, Burn LCB, Schär RCB, Krafth RB was the backline after the Lascelles injury. Are you commenting on a match you didn't see?

That's honestly the main change for these couple of games. Also we've had legs to bring off the bench (Anderson, Barnes etc) which takes pressure off the defence.

Laughing at people after you put forward shit opinions with no factual or statistical basis doesn’t paint you in a very good light. It just makes you look like an arsehole. Have a bit more humility and you might get taken more seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 No coincidence we've looked moved solid since he moved to CB. Of course it helps he already has an understanding with Schar after the half season in the trenches together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Fair play to him, he was shit at CB the times he'd played there early this season but seems much improved at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 So much better at centre-back. Hopefully never see him at left-back again and he can keep this up for the next 6-9 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Not too concerned with Botman's injury. DB to play there, make it his own and Botman having to oust him. He should never play at LB ever again, there's no need or excuses for it. He's a CB, and a really good one at that. We need a long term partner for Botman to replace Schar. That should be the focus, and if Howe still isn't keen on Hall at LB, then a new LB is priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
