Can we just take a second to also point out that it's one thing getting done for pace, but to not foul a guy out the box but then start fouling him inside and not let go was fucking idiotic and selfish. 

 

Yes you got done for pace mate but don't compound it by costing your team further. Then surging up the field after kicking off trying to make amends and playing all of your colleagues out of position and contributing to another goal. 

 

Horror show. But Howe should have a) subbed him soon or b) learnt from the past and start Tino in the first place.

Everyone watching knew he needed subbed at half time. A modern full back must have pace, especially in a team that presses so high.

Today was a good day regarding Burn.

 

Should pretty much ensure that he is not used at left backing going into next season.

 

Backup to Botman and only ever at left back again in emergency situations.

 

That performance was so embarrassing.? 

I wouldn’t bank on that.

[BeloEmre]

Of course Burn won’t start as a LB next season. Probably one of the first positions we are looking to strenghten.

He got taken to town today but the penalty was exceptionally soft.

We already have, he just doesn’t get a game.

Why? Burn dropping into a back three has been part of our pressing gameplan (moreso last season)

[madras]

We all saw what was happening and he should've been subbed at HT at the latest. Looked angry with himself and was trying to do too much because of it. At least the bloke in L7 who booed him walking off got pelters and looked embarrassed.

Who starts LB next season then? You think after signing Hall we buy another one as well ?

Hall ? He doesn't see himself as a left back and I don't think our staff do either.

Tino is the short term fix 

[huss9]

So Tino is faster, a great one on one defender and much better going forward.. but BDB is 6 inches taller so he gets to play.

Yes, would not be surprised to see Targett moved on and a starting left back brought in.

No wonder he ripped Burn to pieces, he's quicker on one leg than Burn is on two.

That was a very troubling performance. How quick was their RW? Because he didn’t look absolutely rapid. However, he made Burn look like poorly put together stop motion

Ogbene is one of the fastest players in the league

Fair play. I don’t know his game at all but it was painful watching the match up between them today and hard to read his pace due to Burn being slow

[Deuce]

If Howe really likes the idea of one of our fullbacks being a CB hybrid, to go to a back 3 in possession and allow the other fullback (Trippier, Livramento) to push forward, then it absolutely has to be someone with pace. They do exist. Van de Ven got picked up by Spurs and Timber by Arsenal…I’m gonna keep banging the Piero Hincapié drum because he fits the bill perfectly.

was there rwb (usually a winger), fastest bloke in the league

Shame for Burn like but today has to be the last straw for him. He cost us 2 goals today but when you have Tino sitting on the bench behind Burn, it's quite annoying.

Fair play, he looked rapid but it’s hard to compare a freight train to a Tomy train set

I'm not sure how you could watch that performance and think at the very least Howe should have taken Burn off straight after the penalty decision. And that's being generous

 

In the match thread, there were plenty of comments from people very surprised / disappointed that he came out for the second half.

 

Today's result was entirely avoidable.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Personally thought the penalty was very very soft. Of course the lad rinsed Burn but it was barely a foul.

It was soft of course but there’s no scenario where you can put pressure on someone’s back from behind and expect it not to be given

Burn pulled his shoulder. Probably one of the most blatant fouls you'll see.

 

You can argue the player could have stayed on his feet but that's irrelevant, once Burn pulls him, every player will go to ground and rightly so. I'd expect ours to do the same.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Blatant pen to me, it was moronic defending
