Apart from Saka in the first few mins at arsenal he seems to cope with most pretty well? So much so that we didn't concede a goal for 10 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 50 minutes ago, reefatoon said: Yeah, he hasn’t been exposed. Since we play as a cohesive unit this has been the case. Both Big Joe and Joe worked hard to help him v Saka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I must be mad. I'm adamant I've seen him get caught more than once with opposition on the break and getting in behind. Likely when he has been exposed with Joe and willock caught in attack. Targett did too though a few times and most fullbacks do in that situation unless they have obscene pace/recovery speed. In general he has been excellent in one on one's though. He doesn't generally get skinned and the saka example is a great one as the team defended well as a whole and Saka got next to nothing.

80 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The decision on which to prefer is in the balance for me. Targett was better as a one on one defender, he was largely imperious last season. He requires less defensive support from teammates and offers more going forwards. But, I think you can argue Burn offers more to our in possession defensive structure (i.e. back 3), and therefore indirectly adds to Trippier's attacking presence. And as that analysis was describing the other day, him being there relieves aerial pressure from Schär. One of those relatively nice questions to have...

mouldy_uk Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Really hope this guy can get back involved asap as I think he will make a massive difference and Burn needs to be rested. - Additional pace and overlaps on the left - Some more options for set pieces and corners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Also has much MUCH better understanding and chemistry with ASM compared to Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yeah, I’d like to see Targett back in the side, if only to offer something different on set pieces and give our left side more attacking options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I'd really like to see a proper left back in the team, as good as Burn was in the first half of the season his limitations are showing now, and it's about time we give him a rest and try something different.

sushimonster85 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Think the fact he has only just started to get mins off the bench in the last game suggests he won't be ready to start a PL game for at least another couple weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 When he was fit Howe preferred Burn anyhow, so after being injured it might be a while before he gets to start. The LB position I'm sure will be upgraded this summer though I'm not sure Tierney is the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not just thay Howe was giving Burn a run in the team because the defence were performing well, them Targett got a long term injury? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is the part of the season where certain players do need a bit of a physical and mental rest. Dan Burn is certainly one of those. Matt Targett is an easy replacement for Burn and has had long enough recovery time to ease his way back in. Lascelles should also come in against Wolves because he nullified Haaland and looked decent all game considering his lack of game time.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I'd like to see Targett back purely because he's a better partner to ASM, but some are going spectacularly over the top with how poor Burn's supposedly been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
