Ok now it all makes sense.

[GeordieT]

One year contract extension triggered.

[The Butcher]

Our best player this season? That's a worry tbh

[pedro111]

Colossus.

[nufc123]

Saved us a couple of times.

[Kid Icarus]

Best player yet again imo. Shouldn't be the case.

[Elliottman]

He was excellent today to be fair, a lead r . 

[Newcastle Fan]

He's still the same Burn but the rest of them have turned so shit that he is looking like the best player out there.

[Pilko]

He was very good today and the absolute least of our worries.

[Alberto2005]

Looked nakered for pretty much of the whole second half, but did make some good tackles.

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Was excellent today. 

[Lush Vlad]

He was very good. But he always looks uncomfortable when he has to press high and follow attackers over the halfway line.  
 

His lack of mobility means he’s susceptible to yellows like the one he got today and then looking unsure whether to stick or twist for the rest of the game. The other team know it and he’s then on thin ice. 
 

It leaves us vulnerable to counters and means we are back to having that big space between defence and midfield.
 

Botman and Kelly would be a lot more comfortable doing this. But one isn’t available and one hasn’t shown enough to be starting.

Don’t understand what he was doing for their goal. Also, his inability to get tight to a player outside his penalty box is problematic.

But, he put in some crucial tackles/blocks today. That bit is undeniable.

Not sure what any of them were doing. Schar is miles off and then slow to react to the through ball. Hall tries to get round on the cover but doesn’t get there. Tino was weak as fuck with his challenge when I thought he was favourite to nick it. He is usually brilliant in similar situations.

We will probably concede loads this season with Tino and Hall as starting full backs

For me Tino was primarily at fault for being weak as piss with the shoulder charge which was effectively non existent and it was purely because he didn't want to give a pen away - it seemed.

Yup, Burn was far too far forward for an immobile CB who runs like forest gump, left a huge gaping hole in CM that Tino had to try and fill

 

If Burn was in position then he would of easily out muscled Welbeck

[Ronaldo]

Forest Gump was rapid. Let’s not rewrite history.

marking Ferguson, it’s not that complicated. 
 

It’s odd to see the stick Burn has been getting for the goal, the situation left of 3 v 2 should have been manageable it’s far more on Schaar than Burn.

From what I remember (which may be fallible) he was not tight to Ferguson. So if he’s chased a forward deep and can’t get anywhere near him he should really be playing closer to his own box.

I do agree that 3 of our defenders should’ve done considerably better off 2 attackers doing a simple 1-2.

But BDB is a good defender in a low block but not so useful with the way we’re trying to play.

Clearly, Kelly is even worse in training so BDB is the better option.

Spot on.  Nowt to do with Burn their goal.  All on Shaare and Tino but mainly Shaare. (Sorry about spelling)

he dropped seeing the trajectory of the ball, he’s man marking someone he won’t be closer to the box if his players moved to the halfway line , you’re asking him to cover about 40 yards in 4 seconds and leave a player exposed, it’s not sense 

 

he’s next to no fault in the goal
