Burn on Saturday

[toonviking]

I will back Burn all day, or anyone who pulls on the shirt.

He will bounce back, but not with the midfield we play these days. There is no Big Joe to help out Big Dan etc.

Many factors, but with the midfield we got available now, I would be sceptical to play him. Hes a much easier target now.

st a quick winger then he needs help from somebody in front of him.

I think the rhetoric generally, and even on here (and this is a somewhat sensible board ), is waaaay too harsh on Burn. He's done wonders for us. It's true that some fans have a short memory and that BDB needs our support rather than our criticism right now. Half our squad is out injured, is now the time to criticize the ones that are actually playing???

Having said that, Burn has had a dip in form. He will come back stronger, but for now, if I were Tino, I'd be wondering what I need to do more to break into the first team.

Also a good post.

less than 3 months ago Dan Burn played against M'Bappe. The fastest, most prolific striker of his generation.
M'Bappe is still in that man's pocket.

How quick some forget.

Consistency is what is important.

DBD has proven each time he's been doubted that he comes back stronger.

Howe will more likely start him and I'm gonna back the man from Blythe to bounce back stronger.

We owe these lot for the Woodinho 0-3 humping we took at SJP. So HOWAY MAN get behind the lads.

Sounds good, apart from the fact Mbappe was playing down the left, and Burn had f**k all to do with marking him.

I’ve said before, horse for courses… and a quick/tricky right winger is not the course for Burn.

I’m not saying he’s a bad player around, but I am saying he was not a good match for Ogbene and he is unlikely to enjoy playing against Elanga… because he certainly didn’t when Forest humped us 3-0 and Elanga was involved in all of their goals.

Aye it was Dembele. I think Dan misses big Joe in front of him and I’d strongly suggest replacing him with Tino when Joelinton isn’t playing when up against a pacey winger.

As above, Burn got done by Elanga, repeatedly, against Forest last time.

Also that time he did not have Big Jo in front of him for the goals, but when he came on as a sub the goals stopped.

But isn’t that just evidence that without protection in front of him, which limits us going forward, that he shouldn’t be playing against players like Elanga?

Again, I’m not saying I think Burn is a bad player, but he needs protection against pacy/tricky wingers and just spouting ‘trust the manager’ isn’t going to change that.

I think this is kinda where I am.

I mean, if Eddie wants him in, then he has his reasons and we need to respect that and, if he's selected, Eddie clearly feels that what he offers by being in the team outweighs any negatives.

I do actually think we'll see Tino in tomorrow, though.

I thought he played well today (Forest). He was monumental in the box in the air all game and I think many LBs would’ve been done for pace for their first. It was a hell of a pass from Gibson-White and Botman was done for pace too. I’m more inclined to criticize Almiron for their first goal - it was his sh*t pass that started the move.

I thought ELANGA tore BURN a new @rsehole! Thought his lack of awareness and poor positioning, let the opposition zoom past him as if he was a statue! The writing was on the wall even before that Elanga goal, and Burn should have been subbed off before half time. I thought we were extremely fortunate to escape from there with 3 points. Bruno was superb!
