I still really like Dan Burn as a footballer.
Potter knew exactly what he was doing putting him up as our best defence against one of the biggest wide threats in the Premier League.
BDB did the job last time against Traore and he also memorably once did the same very difficult job with Zaha.
It just wasn’t his night this time.

is it?
He is shit, but what other options are available at LB? Bernado is both shit and another expensive flop, March is a LW not a LB and Burn has height.
The Blame lies at the door of Ashworth. Winstanley, Bloom for failing to provide any adequate options in that position. Karbo? who knows but he doesnt have any height and he's not here anyway.
Not a bad footballer on his day, but clearly not a PL left back.
I still think Bernardo is better at that job.
Traore is virtually unplayable on his day, a bit like Lamptey can be, but Lampteys a little lad and Traore is a rugby league player.
ANy of our players would have been on a hiding to nothing this evening playing at Left back, DB just got lucky!
There is an alarming requirement for recruitment to get their arses into gear, arguably more so @ LB than signing a decent striker.
Potter is not off scott free for failing to do anything about it other than continually see us humiliated. Or maybe thats the ploy . . .with such great job security, he just does what he does.

That's very harsh. Not saying he (Bernardo) should be our starting left back but he is by no means shit.

This, but without the “shit”.
The vast majority of very tall EPL cb’s would make awful full backs, hating one on one’s against elite widemen.
It’s negligent to set up like that, both in terms of putting a result at jeopardy and in potentially letting a player hang out to dry.
Goalkeeper?
This. Shouldn't be anywhere near the first team, especially as we have plenty of defensive cover
It does worry me with Potter that he didn’t see this coming against Wolves after seeing how Burn played against Leicester.

Arsenal’s Saka turned Burn inside out, outpacing him for fun, especially for the one key moment that gave us another loss.

He isn't personally abusing him. Or do you just mean in general? lol
fwiw I agree with OP. Hate seeing players slide, but he's had too many chances now. Why Potter keeps picking him I don't know. If this is part of his nicey nicey approach, it isn't working.

Used as a back up CB played in the centre and not asked to carry the ball forward or play wide were exposed he's fine as a squad player but Potter is trying to get him to play in the wrong positions and asking him to play in a way that's way above his ability.
One thing I would say about Dan is he gives 100% and doesn't hide.
White missed two headers in the last two games which has lead to goals and is being lauded. Again I dont think playing him in the wrong positions is helping either

He did fine until we decided to switch March to the right wing and assign Trossard to support Burn. Then it all unravelled rather quickly. March eventually moved back to the left side and the Traore problems stopped.
