Mixture of poor tactics and Burnley playing well. They started on the front foot and did a job to a man, exactly as you’d expect.
As for the Brighton tactics, obviously things had to be changed with the players unavailable. First half Brighton were too direct and inpatient in the build up. I...
Or it could work for us like it did Wolves and Leicester, and kick on squad players and develop them further. Not really comparable to the very tight-knit 11 Burnley use. Potter uses and rotates his whole squad very well.
Disagree. Anderson was our best looking bowler in Australia. He’s getting better (more economical) with age and offers expert control. He plays if he’s fit as he’s part of the strongest 11 IMO. Also provides the younger bowlers a model to develop from.
I can see why they were rested for this...
A good deal for all parties IMO. Providing Brighton don’t suffer 3 injuries & suspensions to their CBs at once again.
Burn gets to play for his boyhood club and to keep them up ahead of a potential windfall of investment. He’ll be very happy.
Brighton get £13M for a 29 year old with 18...
Don’t mind this. Burn has been fantastic, but 10M for a 29 year old with 18 months is a good price. We’ll just promote Duffy to 4th choice CB until the season ends. Next season promote a youngster from within or sign a replacement.
Have to disagree. We are one injury to Welbeck or Maupay away from looking very short up front. And it happened this season. The long winless spell was when Welbeck was out. But any player coming in will need to be prepared to be integrated into the potter style of formation and squad rotation.
Dunk gets his shirt back immediately when available for me. Club captain and needs game time to get up to speed. He’s part of our best 11.
Dunk, Webster and Burn as a back 3 with Cucu and Lamptey wingbacks. Sounds delicious!
