ponsaelius Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Love what he's done for us but the sooner he's a bench back up who can do a job in two positions, rather than a nailed on starter, the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Should have been off at half time. I really don't understand playing him at home especially when he's been rinsed time and again first half. Carbon copy of the Forrest game, which makes it 10x worse as we have plenty of evidence already but to leave him on and then still again not sub him after 3:2 has cost us 3 points today. Eddie needs to be more ruthless. Tino is already proven at left back. There is no excuse other than a tino injury or illness for not starting.

pubteam Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If tino starts I believe that's a win. Every team we play knows we are weak down the left. Forest did exactly the same, targeted burn as he slow as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Shocking today but can understand the reason why he started for his aerial ability and decent last couple games but this has to be the end of him being one of the first names on the teamsheet. We need to get Tino into the side and he showed during Burn’s time out that he’s a better LB than him both offensively and defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Chris_R said: Should not start again unless there's an injury crisis in defence. Too easily exposed by anyone with any pace. If I was an opposition manager, I'd just stick my fastest player against him and tell them to run around him. Not past him, because he can stick a leg out, but just run around him because he's got zero acceleration. Other than the past few days, when? We usually nullify wingers well. I thought Edwards was daft with his gungho approach but they isolated Burn against the fastest player in the league brilliantly.

This lesson should have been learnt by the manager already but let’s hope the umpteenth time is the charm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Disaster performance from a player who simply doesn’t deserve a place in the starting lineup and arguably the first team at all. Every team we play against targets him and it’s often a very effective tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Not really much point saying he needs dropping. As he has shown when he’s fit that he almost always starts at left back. Getting targeted regularly now and he is really bad in our build up play or when attacking. In some ways. I admire Howe’s loyalty to players he trusts. But it is becoming a hinderance now. I think it would do Burn and the team some good if he came out the side for at least a game or two. Edited February 3 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Fucking hell man I cannot believe its yet another week of discussing Burn struggling when any player with any sort of pace is up against him Lanky player playing at full-back rinsed for pace in defence yet again. Almost like physics and common sense actually is correct. It is quite evident teams know this bloke is the weak link.

Conjo Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Probably the worst performance I've seen from him today. Responsible for Lutons 4th by trying to redeem himself for the penalty by taking it upon himself to start playing as an inside forward too. Simply can't play against pacy wingers when we have Livramento available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad to watch but needs to be brought out of the starting XI now. This is the only game I’ve watched this week. But this happened last season too. But we often had Joelinton or Willock that could hold his hand. With Miley’s lack of experience and athleticism he’s left 1v1 and can’t cope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Teams who sit and counter have figured him out especially. Not so bad away when we are generally more compact but he's massively exposed with how high our line often is at home. His distances and when to make contact are all over the shop.
