He seems to get in the way some times and drags more defenders towards the winger. I'd rather he just stays out the way if its maxi or make a more intelligent movement to either receive the ball or pull a defender a way. Expand Yep. The partnership definitely needs work on if it’s going to be same again next two games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 A controversial point for the morning after the night before. Been thinking about it and I would rather have him there than John walkabout Beresford. Imagine him just giving it to Ginola instead of overlapping him and leaving us open?

sixx Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 We need Targett in. He’s not a threat from set pieces and he’s even been suspect defensively for the last few games. Needs some rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Burn has been class but I think Targett will offer more for our overall play against defensive set ups at home. He’s certainly a great option anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Targett was hardly an overlapping bombing on forward that created loads like...he was neat and tidy but he's being made out to be Roberto Carlos by some Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not saying Burn needs to be cast aside it’s just recognising that Targett offers something different. Fwiw I think the club brings in an attacking left back in the summer anyway.

Cronky Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I really like Burn and the contribution he makes to the whole spirit of the side, but in the last few games, he's looked a bit vulnerable. Like a centre back looking awkward out wide. I can see Man U targetting him in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Think Targett will get a chance as soon as he's fit enough to start. We know Howe doesn't like changing a winning team and we were just rattling off wins with Burn at LB so can't fault him for not changing. We've stagnated a bit going forward and having Burn at LB doesn't help. Think it'll be a nice way to freshen up. Think Burn is going to be a very solid squad player for several years to come. Backup for Botman at LCB who can play at LB in an emergency while being one of the squad's homegrown players. Seems a great dressing room guy too.

Smal Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) The way Howe sets the team up, Burn is supposed to be part of the build up with Botman and Schar. Overlaps/underlaps are supposed to be supplied by the left central midfielder more often than the left back afaict. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of that yesterday but it’s what was happening when it was Willock/Joelinton on the left.

Sima Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I think we'd start leaking goals a lot more if Burn wasn't playing but he's starting to look a bit tired now and his performances have fallen off a little as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How any one can point blame at Burn is madness, best defence in Europe and he's been huge! Yesterday he was poor, but still fine. We picked up when Gorden came on and the link up with midfield became quicker again. One touch etc. Not sure Maxi knows what that is tbh. And thats not Burns fault.
