My pet theory is that his lack of game time has to do with the fee only being certain amount of he starts enough games and we’ll begin starting him when he can’t reach that number. 
 

 


could be but it would make more sense if it’s appearances not starts. He’s been sitting on the bench while 3-4 youngsters have come in this season for a cameo at like 80th min to get their debuts.

It’s been near enough confirmed (without being officially confirmed) that the clause is related to our league position.

 

As long as we don’t finish 16th, he’s here for the foreseeable.

He was class when he came on wasn’t he?

Indeed. The best part about it being he looked defensively capable, which has obviously been the question mark.

 

Don’t think there’s ever been a question mark (at least IMO) about his ability in possession.

Delighted for him. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of the weekly wanker roundtable debate on him being the worst transfer of all time. The last 80 odd pages here have been copy paste aids

He was excellent. Aggressive in the tackle, direct, and made some anticipated interceptions. He worked his bollocks off and looked a real handful. Loved his cameo. Has to start going forward.

Murphy

Schar

Burn

Hall

 

Nee idea who plays RW like

Could Anderson do a job at RW?

Why not? Kid's fearless and skillfully. I know he sees himself as a CM but, why not.

I wouldn’t get too excited. Wham were totally defeatist by the time Hall came on. 
If Trips is fit to start I wouldn’t be surprised to see some permutation that means Hall is on the bench again. And, tbh it would probably be for a good reason. 
 

He made some good blocks when he came on but it was mostly high up the pitch. I do trust Howe to judge if he’s ready to be positionally sound when defending our box.

Even if he is suspect defensively, we are absolutely terrible at the back at the moment without him so we may as well be terrible at the back with him albeit with more of an attacking threat that he brings.

With what he's shown us in such restricted circumstances, it would be malpractice to start Burn over him at LB. He was an instant game changer for us, and was crucial to the build up for that second Harvey Barnes goal if memory serves. Beggars can't be choosers and we can't be leaving what limited quality we have to fester on the bench with the season on the line.

I think it was the Isak scuffed chance that he starts from deep and then pops up for the cutback. 
 

The last apps have perhaps suited his talents, with the way the games were when he came on. But he was impressive nonetheless. 
 

Feels like he would be pushing for a start even if Lascelles and Tino were available. But he has to start tomorrow, surely? 
 

Even if Trippier is back. I’d rather him at RB and Hall LB. Than Krafth coming in.

This is the thing, we brought Krafth on instead and still shipped 3 goals. Can’t imagine it would have been more if Hall had come on originally. 
 

just give him some starts man

Where’s Targett, out of interest anyway?

 

He's out injured with an achilles tendonitis; he wasn't the best piece of business for £15M.

 

I hope Hall gets to start at LB for the rest of the season. Burn can play as a centre-half.
