[Albion] Dan Burn

[brightn'ove]

Are we beginning to see how important he is to the way we play?

With him in the side, we can fluidly switch between a back 3 and a back 4 depending on what is happening in the game and if we need to change things mid-match, we can do so without making a substitution.

Without him, we can’t react to a change in tempo, and we struggle to adapt when the pace of the game changes.

Who knew he was the key? But it does seem that way.

And yet Bernado was MOM v Villa

Bernado's not the problem
It's lack of Dan

 

[Arthritic Toe]

How long is he out for?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I typed the same thread/post after the Villa game but didn’t submit it as I was worried it wouldn’t come across right as Bernado deservedly got motm.

Tonight just confirmed it even more - we genuinely really miss Burn.

Don't forget the option he gives us from goal kicks - The wide ball to the halfway line that he heads down to a CM. We get pinned back passing it out to a CB by the 18 yard box.

Sat and tonight were a lot more than any one player. There's a recurring problem. At least it seems to be that way

Back beginning of March all going well.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He gets better with every game he doesn't play in.

 

[Jesus Gul]

I’d stick him up front

 

[amexer]

Appreciate am p........ of because of result tonight but what has he done to justify extension Was bought as centre back and has hardly played there so unable to make judgement. Did ok job filling in at full back but showed he is not a full back. Could als say same for Potters extension after so few games

 

[TottonSeagull]

We do miss Burn but the clueless Coach is playing players out of position and doesn’t seem to have a plan A let alone a plan B

 

[Weststander]

He gets better with every game he doesn't play in.

As does Izquierdo.

I think this is clutching at straws, the problems lie elsewhere

Roy Hodgson - “Ok Wilf, I’m going to play you on the right today to get at that big LB. He will be the weak link”

30 mins later

“Get the **** back on the left”

Absolutely LOVE Dan Burn.

 

[Shins]

As great as he is, playing him left back limits us going forward on that side. He contributes, obviously, but we need more.

I'd drop Webster and play Burn and Dunk together in the middle.

Works hard, but not a left back

Superb today

I can't say I'm a fan. I'm only on the Burn bus because it goes the same way I'm going...

That said he was excellent today and like [MENTION=33409]Shins[/MENTION] says is worthy of a look alongside Dunk. That way we can keep an in form player in the team whilst also playing a proper left back.
