Given Arsenal’s height and dominance from those situations, it’s not crazy to drop the smallest player in the side in a one-off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and because we surely can’t be thinking of buying Ramsdale and he has been shite. Not that we looked any better set up with Pope and Burn in.

BoSelecta Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Can see the logic but he should have brought hall on for the last half hour when we were pushing with lots of possession and lacking quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Could he not have been brought on at left wing when they were sitting deeper? Looked a decent option and we know he loves to get forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I get the excuse not for starting him. But the moment they scored from a short corner to get around our giants then the whole reason becomes redundant. Even more so when we are chasing the game and have nothing to lose and Burn is on a yellow card anyways. We needed better quality on the ball and he is one of our best players. Poor decision not to bring him on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Picking Burn at LB was daft. By all means change the formation to a 3 at CB, but having him there is inviting pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Hall has been our player of the season, pretty comfortably I think, but playing Burn today made sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 In fairness I thought we looked more solid at the back today than in a long time. I think Arsenal looked pretty toothless which might have helped, however, it might be a different story if we play Burn against Minteh next week.

JoeyBartoon Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I don’t mind Burn sitting deep and holding position around the 18-yard box when we’re defending. But we really missed Hall going forward today, especially given how shaky Arsenal looked at times. There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing Burn push up trying to get involved in attack, because it’s clear his teammates don’t fully trust him in those situations. You could see it a few times when he tried to overlap Ramsey and was just ignored as a passing option. Mind I would say it’s also a bit concerning of Howe to favour Burn over Hall, who’s arguably one of the most exciting and effective left-backs in England right now. Classic Howe loyalty imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
