As stated, Burn suspended, but then arguably had Krafth not got injured, he would have started alongside Schar rather than kelly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, Kelly was always starting in Burns place. We get wrecked aerially if we are playing with Schar and Krafh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Very poor for the first goal and had a few nervy moments, but he handled Antonio very well and made a very good tackle second half to stop a possible goal. I’m all for calling out the negatives but let’s not ignore the good things he did too. this is not necessarily a defence of him, as I’d be putting Burn straight back in, but more a point that his performance wasn’t as calamitous as I’m reading online.

He was at fault for both goals, so no matter what he did right, pretty hard to overlook that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from the eye test or stats excited me and he’s been worse than I even expected. They play different positions but this guy is meant to be the Lascelles/Krafth replacement right? Couldn’t lace their boots on his performances so far. I'm not sure if he's even as good as Paully D at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a PL Akinfenwa. He's there for the ball to be held up and let Bowen, Pacqueta and Kudus/Summerville buzz around him hoping to create something in the aftermath. If he weighs in with a few goals for himself, fine. But it's not essential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will lose the ball in opposition half, more so Bruno who will take more risks. Ball still needs to travel down the other end, with often multiple obstacles to stop a clear shot on goal to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Was it not a header to Bruno who’s back was to the on rushing defender who stole it? Bruno had 0 chance to keep that ball. He wasn’t even standing, was in the air. So either he’s fouled or it’s stolen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 The second goal was a clusterfuck of errors if I remember correctly? Not planning on re-watching it, as I want it expunged from my memory. But Bruno tried a stupid round the corner/over the head flick back to goal which then set them free when we had men up the pitch. We then did our customary backing off, I think Joelinton didn't track his runner, there was ball watching aplenty from defenders and midfielders as Wan Bissaka waltzed into the box. Then perhaps Pope should have got his angles better and/or gone with his usual big boot clearance. Although it was post and in, so perhaps a touch harsh.

Fak Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Always throught he looked steady away for us up until last night. Nothing flash, pretty ordinary but filled in and did an ok job here and there. But last night was terrible, for both goals in particular. think he’s looked better at lb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
