I gave you too much credit. Technically what you said is still true, though. yeh he was awful. But honestly he’s not usually THAT much better. He’s been a consistently tolerated weak link. I thought it was Botman that got twisted up for the second and I was annoyed and shocked. When i realised it was Burn I thought ‘aye, that’s typical Burn defending - getting done by a bit of guile, over commuting then turned’.

Smal Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yeah, I've wanted to keep him in the team but you cannot play like that and expect to start the next game. He was poor defensively but he really hurt us in build up today. Can't be shit at both of those things I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Burn can be 4th choice CB, but not a starting left back. Horrible performance today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Still needs a rest. We have been flogging him like a dead horse for nearly a handful of games now. He is tired and needs to refresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Needs to learn that he isn't a footballer, gets caught in possession time and time again dawdling on the ball, when a simple pass or clearance would've done the job - happened again today in the lead up to the first goal, attempting what from memory I believe was meant to be a very poor man's cruyff turn near the halfway line. His defending has been shite lately too and his height doesn't offer all that much either, so there's little reason to persist with him in the team at the moment.

Tsunami Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I’m not sure if it’s opposition teams working the ball to leave him exposed or if we’ve dropped a level but, he’s not getting the cover he needs against quick wingers. It’s made worse when the officials can’t see that being bigger and stronger than the winger doesn’t equate to a foul. Buendia won fouls today simply because of this. Before today I thought Howe would stick with him, I think he may now need a rest. Having said that, we were very lethargic across all of the back line and midfield.

TheHoob Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Howe has said one thing he likes is a stable back 4 so I wouldn't be surprised if this is it until the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 He was robbed of the ball in his own half a few times today, and their first goal came after one of those incidents. He wasn't under any great pressure - he just looked awkward on the ball and the opposition scented blood. Eddie has a tricky decision to make.

huss9 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 he's got to stop his habit of grabbing players especially on corners. always feel he's likely to give away a freekick or pel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 The whole left hand side was the weakest I've seen it this season. However today I was very concerned about botman, looked like his first game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been saying this for what feels like months. If he gets the rest you’re all asking for, he likely doesn’t get back in the team. He seems like a legend, he’s living his dream, but he should be backup to Botman from here on out. He was cracking at centre-back, he’s not been good at left-back. He’s had a few really good games, but plenty more really bad ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
