pedro111 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 If these are his regular levels then fuck me he might be one of the best full backs ever to play the game! (Went a bit RTG ott there sorry!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Just now, Yorkie said: Dan Burn has been generally brilliant (or at least good and vital tactically) for well over a year now. 'CB at LB' is some really unnecessary shade at this point, he's been huge for us. Tino obviously has the spot nailed down until he's back, like. Burn has been solid, but his limitations are obvious and (for me) you won't move forward at the highest level with a CB playing FB, it's arguably the most important position on the pitch now in modern systems.. It's brutal, but there isn't room for sentiment when you have a player warming the bench with this much talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) He does look very bloody good. The defensive side of his game is far better than I expected, seems a really good tackler.

Neil Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I was about to say about whether you've seen the last of Burn as a regular starter but looks like that's been covered. Was your best player by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 He’s been consistently an absolute class-act for us. Very difficult to not start him. What a huge signing he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's anything sentimental about saying Burn has been a huge part of our success (as a LB) under Howe and has more than deserved to be first choice this season. Happy to admit that a better player there could improve us generally, I just get mildly triggered by the 'CB at LB' thing when used as a pejorative. He's every inch a full-back.

r0cafella Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The opportunism on display really epitomises our approach mind. He has always been one of the most highly rated young players in the country so getting him was a coup imo. He’s got all the tools to be world class.

Agree on the last sentence. So surely you recognise half of his game is solid and the other half is shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
