Menace Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 Remarkably looks even slower than before. Needs to be a rotation option next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be getting rinsed constantly. He's going on fruitless marauding runs up the left leaving us short, just don't think it's his game. He got took off straight after half time on boxing day as he was getting rinsed off elanga, not sure what the logic was putting him up against Salah today... unless it was the only option of course.

joeyt Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 I think Tino has looked better at left back than right back for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 I'd agree with that. Some of his best play comes from carrying the ball infield. This has also been the case when he has been on the right (thinking of the Man United assist). So if kind if makes sense that he's looked better over on the left in this system.

Smal Posted January 1, 2024 Share Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) Thought Burn was fine tbh. Won most of his duels. It was the defending once they got past him that was the major issue. Gordon also gave him absolutely no help when he switched over to that side. Edited January 1, 2024 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, also given his size he was always going to be a player who will decline quickly. Love the guy but at this stage we should be looking to transition him into a squad player.

Guest Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 We've just given him a new contract as well haven't we? Don't know if it's down to FFP meaning we're having to do it or not, but renewals to the likes of him, Ritchie, Dummett, etc seem weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract was due to end this summer, it's effectively been extended by a year. It made sense and at the time most would have agreed with it, though can understand why recent form might make it seem weird In theory he should be 4th choice CB and 2nd/3rd choice LB so giving him an extra year makes sense, the FFP benefit isn't necessarily huge in terms of extension but if there is an opportunity to sell him in the summer then it could help but I suspect he isn't going anywhere and he'll be here next season too Ritchie/Dummett should not under any circumstances be given contract extensions, thank them for their services in the summer and say goodbye to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 (edited) If Burn stays, I think Lascelles has to be let go as well. Need to start getting ruthless I think. Burn 4th choice CB, 3rd choice LB pretty much replacing Dummett's role. Edited January 2, 2024 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Lascelles and Burn will stay It will end up being RB - Trippier, Livramento, possibly Krafth too CB - Botman, Schar, Lascelles, Burn LB - Targett, Hall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be challenging for places 4-6 for sure, but again, there are 6 teams that have hugely more money to spend and have already bigger and better squads. One CL season does not mean we are there every year, people have to be realistic with their expectations. Villa will come down next season etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That plan is to challenge for titles and trophies. The owners may close an eye on one bad season but if we were dragging a long at 7th this time next year I’m pretty sure changed would be made. and this is on the proviso the gaffa can get through this season.

Naah, you have to be realistic mate. If our revenue is same as wage bill of the biggest teams, we are not challenging a thing. We were close to winning a cup already. Saudis are building a team and the academy totally from the scrap. Abu Dhabi bought City 2008 and they won first title in 2012 when they could spend all the money they wanted. It will take double that for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even talking about city or what they did as it isn’t relevant. (I’m not even sure how long it took them to win a league after the takeover?). The point is the plan the owners have laid out is challenging (not winning) titles in 5 years. If we are competing to conference league come this time next season I’m sure alarm bells will be ringing as it means we are behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 2, 2024 Share Posted January 2, 2024 (edited) He’s decided to tuck in and mark our own Centre Backs whilst leaving his man wide open too often now. Positionally, he’s all over the shop and needs dropped, the benefit of extra height he provides is negated by the liability he’s become during open play.
