    CL Stat

    Amazingly we have the joint 2nd best defensive record in the CL.

    Arsenal first.
    Spuds, Inter and Us 2nd.

    Defence will take us a long way.

    Botman looking better and better as he regains his fitness and confidence in his knee.
    Thiaw didn't put a foot wrong again.
    Burn was a monster once again.

    What to say about Hall that hasn't been already said. Lewis Hall is a world class player in the making. He's among the top 2-3 LB in the Prem, 100% top 10 in all 5 top European Leagues.

    Miley had a tough 10 mins at the start against Barcola. However, the lad recalibrated and for the remaining 80 mins was pure class. He played everywhere. Solid. Quality and smart on the ball.

    Nick Pope's penalty save was vindication for a shocking decision.

    Bravo to them all for the team work and unity.

    I know Burn has his detractors but man you can't fault his grit and determined effort, he bleeds black and white.

    He does have his detractors but I dont know why. I think hes brilliant, not the fastest but neither is Bruno. Plays his heart out every game and plays for England. What do people want?

    Burn has proven what a leader he is and during his time at the club he's developed from a journeyman CB to a full England international.

    Those who disparage Dan are either just anti-NUFC folks, Mackem etc or clearly know nothing about football. Either way their noise is completely ignored by me

    Dan Burn has is critical to EH tactics, we have a team of giants now but somehow it?s still BDB we need at set pieces at both ends of the pitch.

    Put him at CB and we know how good he is, he isn?t a left back, we know it, he knows it, Eddie knows it - but he sucks it up and plays for the team - hero
