England’s Dan Burn - Signs Contract Extension until 2027 (Official)


Recommended Posts

we got caught napping a bit for the goal,the ball had barely stopped moving when the kick was taken. That still left 3 on 2 to deal with it and it was a weak collective effort. Burn was the least culpable in that situation imo

Burn is clearly instructed to play higher and try to win the ball aggressively which is why he was seemingly "out of position" (though he wasn't actually). This has always been something we've done under Howe - the two full backs are supposed to tuck in when it happens. When Trippier and Burn play they fully understand this but Tino and Hall are obviously still learning. They did tuck in eventually, but Schar didn't challenge for the ball well enough and Livramento's attempt at a challenge was really poor. 

 

 

 

This is a good analysis although I must admit I'm not overly keen on someone like Burn being the guy who gets tight as he isn't very agile or good on the turn. I think you need exceptional one Vs one defenders to play this way.

Works a treat when Sven or Fab do it, but agree, it doesnt work for Burn as well. Although having said that...Fab, TIno and Hall could have done better there.

His defending today was all over the place, i like him and can see what he brings to the team but we need to have Botman like quality if we are to navigate through these tough games.


He puts us under unnecessary pressure with his constant side and backward passing.

Counting down the days until Sven returns but he isn't fixing this. All our issues going forward and defending stem from the midfield.

He´s been one of our better players this season but today he did a MasterClass Harry Maguire impression. Constantly pushing up into a CDM position only to be caught off guard and out of position due to lack of pace.

loves the little tug back, got away with one today

 

Was good defending IMO, never grabbed the shirt. You are allowed to use your hands to some point after all.

It really worries me when I see fans saying this. Even the commentators and VAR rightly brushed it off as ridiculous and not a pen.

Aye never a pen, I was on about one in the first half edge if our box

Anyone else gives up like he did for the Jackson goal and they’d be getting pelters.

Aye, he might not be the fastest anyway but he just didn't bother trying. With effort like that we are fucked until Sven is back.

I thought everyone bar Hall was between average to bad to shite yesterday. So not sure I’m even going to single anyone out. 
 

I was stood next to his Dad in the away end. Which I only realised after half time. Unsurprisingly, as Dan always seems so sound. He was a really nice bloke.
