timeEd32 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 There’s clearly parts of his game defensively that Eddie doesn’t fully trust. At 3-1 down it didn’t matter if we conceded a 4th. But hopefully this is a turning point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upthemags Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 (edited) Even though Gordon ended up going off, before that it was so refreshing to see the utility of two guys on the flank with real attacking ability playing off each other. Much more difficult for opposing back line to deal with Edit to add Barnes as well Edited March 30, 2024 by Upthemags Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 I don't know how this can even be a debate anymore. Fingers crossed we see at least one silver lining from this latest cloud of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 I think Howe learnt something after today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufi Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 No excuse for him to not start next match. Looked good when he came on. Krafth over him is criminal. I honestly don’t want to see Burn at LB ever again. I love him but let’s use him as our 3/4th CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miley earned Howe’s trust rather quickly (albeit during an injury crisis at CM) Tino was in and out of the squad after some good performances. I don’t know what Howe does on Tuesday lol. Hard to read if he is more concerned with the structure and familiarity that burn brings. Just trusting him more. Would be harsh not to give Hall the start.

KaKa Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 He will play when he's ready. Pretty certain he is looking so much better now, due to the work they've done with him. This idea they're just refusing to play him despite how good he is, is farcical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 If he doesn't start then there's got to be some real credibility to the rumour/thought that there's a game limit in his contract... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think, similar to Miley, the main deficiencies are things most people wouldn’t pick up on. Things away from the ball and in space. Things more exposed in a back four vs back five. And, for better or worse, factors that have nothing to do with him or Tino, but things that Eddie thinks Burn provides that the others can’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 I think we need to be a bit careful around expectations with him still but his time has come to get in the XI. Playing wing back against City and coming on against a West Ham with, imo, some questionable fitness is one thing. He's undoubtedly a very talented footballer though. Really, really looking forward to seeing more of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Really hope he plays, and plays well, now. He kind of has to anyway, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 His off the ball discipline is obviously something we've been worried about but on the ball he's got loads of quality and I think he's shown that pretty much every time he's played.

I mean, I don't think he'd have got near the pitch had Tino not been injured Delighted for him, looked good today. By all accounts the deal is gonna be made permanent so just have to hope he keeps making strides and gaining Howe's confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're all in agreement he needs a run in the team at this point. Hopefully the time on the training field means when he comes in he's going to hit the ground running. It's been a bit of a weird one but I'm going to assume Howe knows better than I do but the difference with him and Barnes on the left was night and day and surely can't be ignored.

Matt1892 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Bizarre decision to bring Krafth on in the first half than Hall, everything he does with the ball is tidy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Looked very good today, hope to see some more positive cameos over the rest of the season, and then to build on in future. He is still a work in progress and it could be a few more years before he fulfils his potential. let’s treat him with kindness if he does follow up with a mistake somewhere down the line.

Cronky Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 I thought he did well when he came on. Got involved right away, eager to make his mark, showed some good, decisive touches. I don't think Eddie's got any choice but to play him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
