England’s Dan Burn

[NWMag]

Absolutely no way he should start next game, and if he does, any criticism aimed at Howe will be valid and he’s asking for it if he starts him.

 

don’t even need to state how poor Burn was or his flaws, simply put Tino is a better LB and that’s the only thing that really needs saying.

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

It was a dive but the rules have always been mad like that.

He's doing what is probably technically correct in that he's giving them some distance to have a go and use his body to block them, as if he gets too tight he's absolutely done for considering his agility, but it feels like against Forest and today they could just knock it past with a 5-yard headstart and he's done in seconds. I feel like last year he'd become a lot more tactical as games went on against tricky players but he seems to just do the same thing now despite it not working.

Blatant pen to me, it was moronic defending 

Yep, had two bites at him, just daft.

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

 

Hall got booked at Kenilworth Road as well for hauling down Ogbene as he went past him like an express train, he is fucking rapid

[Big Geordie]

Not Dan's fault, but at 6'7, he's always going to struggle against a very pacy and direct winger.

 

I thought it was a pen today - he had a couple of goes at the lad.

At least two, I’d have been screaming for a pen had it been one of ours. Definitely a pen

Burns position ahead of their 4th that came from their right winger btw

You could see the gap as soon as they got the ball 

[Displayname]

Never going to dislike him, he does his best. Just isnt enough.

[PCW1983]

He was exposed today and it’s certainly not the first time. Anyone in the crowd chanting for Tini should hang their heads in shame….it will have been heart breaking for Burn. 

[GEFAFWISP]

He's a possession dead end and that is perhaps more damaging than his defensive blunders against pacy wingers. Absolutely sick of seeing turnovers whenever Botman or Bruno pass it to him with minimal options and someone pressing him.

[Menace]

He's pap

[simonsays]

He still does a job, but any side we are playing who has pace down the right should mean we are starting Tino

I agree. Once he decides to tug his shirt again after entering the box is bewildering. 

If it was Gordon going through we'd be going mental for a pen 

 

I've got to say though, botman got wrestled to the ground and it wasn't even looked at which is what irks me a bit

[Erikse]

He's great as a backup option.. He can cover both CB and LB. But even before the season we expected someone to take his place. If someone told me 1 year ago that he would still be our first choice LB as of today, I would be surprised.

The only positive is that extremely tall people tend to die young.

Especially as we bought Targett, have Hall on loan and Livramento has played excellently there. Burn keeps getting picked despite there being better options, seemingly just because he's tall.

 

Must be infuriating being one of the other lads and being unable to get a game despite knowing you're clearly a better footballer. Normally a player can go to the manager and ask what they need to improve on, but 'be taller than Dan Burn'  isn't really something they can go away and work on.

Love Dan Burn, but on tactics alone, his inclusion, and presence til the second halve was Eddie's fault.

[huss9]

people used to have a do shola. but he didnt pick himself.

[mofo]

Got really rinsed today, he struggled with the pace.

 

I can see why Howe starts him though, he's nowhere near as bad as some on here say. I'd rather have Tino in there mind.

Quite safe to say that Luton targeted him and it worked

I'd have brought Tino on earlier ?
