Burn made the goal with his run, leaving Gusto in no mans land.

 

Absolutely love that he made that run. Another CB would've moved back towards his own goal. Cracking attacking mentality.

 

Love owt like that.

 

I sure Burn said "Just give me the fuckin ball man" as he was waiting for the free kick.

Is it fair to say the Botman injury last year rescued his career? It was getting sad seeing him left-back starting to get torn apart by some pretty average RWs and mistakes creeping in. Ever since he's went back to LCB when Botman got the long layoff he's been absolutely outstanding.

Feels sly as fuck not giving player of the year to anyone other than the bloke who's got 24 goals but I honestly think Burn edges it this season. He's been an absolute mountain back there

100% - his performances have been consistent through out.

Still think Tonali is player of the year, his introduction transformed our season.

He's a close second but Dan Burn's consistency edges it.  I can't remember him having a bad game.

He’s been better at CB than when he first joined. 

 

Dunno, those first games he played when he signed he was outstanding and in a much worse team than this one. It gets overlooked just how good he was and how immediately transformative it was for our defence.

I remember at least 2 goals he just got done by some good movement from an attacker. A goal conceded against Chelsea by Havertz springs to mind. 
 

He was great but - he was one of the weakest links.  This season - he’s been our best central defender. He wasn’t better than Schar in those 6 months. He’s been better than Schar easily. Been better on the ball. A bigger aerial threat.  
 

He’s gone to another level. I wouldn’t have thought then we could get CL with a BurnxSchar defence

I would say Tonali has been the best player for us this season BUT that header in the Final is something we all remembered till the day we die. So Burn is the player of the season for me.

Yeah got to say, while Tonali transformed us into another level, Burn had barely put a foot wrong, and done so much to get us to where we are, his mentality and love for the club you can tell is infectious and I feel he embodies the club more then anyone. 

 

The way he demanded the free kick be given to him before he sets up Bruno's goal shows a level of confidence amongst such top class players i don't think he would've had a few seasons back, and his goal in the final i don't think I'll ever forget. Absolutely love Big Dan Burn, and would love to see him rewarded with player of the season this year

Sweet little pass to Bruno too. Drags the ball back and then plays it with the outside of his foot, defender was not ready for that shit from Burny.
