England's Dan Burn

[Rod]

gjohnson says hi!  I nearly got banned because of my comments to you, snitch!

[Menace]

He's underrated as a CB. Mr Ol' Reliable.

[Erikse]

He was fantastic at CB when he first came. Then we tried him at LB, and it worked for a while. After that we didn't want to change what had worked for a long time, even when his flaw in that position became increasingly obvious. He's proving once again how CB is his main position, and also by far his strongest one.

[The College Dropout]

Poor OG to concede. Not under a lot of pressure and had loads of space to avoid it. 
 

Then almost gave another goal away. 
 

Buck up lad. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Sloppy at times but so were so many players 

[gbandit]

I haven’t seen the own goal as I was in the Leazes but he was a colossus at times for us today with some massive challenges and blocks 

[Holloway]

Can't blame him for the og, he wasn't to know it was spinning wide 

[The Butcher]

A few poor moments today, but he's probably been our best player so far.

He also give the ball away quite a few times also, which with Krath and Pope doing similar is a major issue

Yeah, I can recall a disaster of a pass which came close to us conceding but he also did a lot of very good defending today. Just not good on the ball

Was one of our best players for 85 of the 90 minutes though.

[toon25]

What a signing this guy has been. Absolute warrior 

[Doctor Zaius]

Aside from kicking the ball into his own net I thought he was brilliant today. Tackle on Werner was class

[NEEJ]

Thought he recovered well from the OG and horror pass and ended very strongly. But good lord both mistakes were bad.

[Smal]

I thought he was brilliant today.

 

Us not being able to play out from the back is about far more than personnel.

[Menace]

He's quality at CB.

[Astroblack]

MOTM for me despite the OG and backpass to them. Colossus. Need him fit with the the other CBs out. 

[Newcastle Fan]

Superb today but he really scares me when the ball is at his feet and Schar isn't around.

it’s like having two players in one. 

[Pata]

Couple of iffy moments but a colossus once again and probably MOTM.

[KingArthur]

Badly needs Schär next to him. Defending deep like that is piss easy for him.

[jonny1403]

Nothing gets past those long legs

Agreed. He was a warrior. But those mistake were so bad. Not MOTM for me.

Yeah. I was going to say Tino. Wasn’t watching somewhere where I could pay full attention. But seemed to be countless interceptions, blocks and tackles. Nearly MOTM for that carry out of defence alone.
