Burn is out of his depth. Best was barely a footballer.

Strange comparison (a joke I assume). Burn was signed as a squad player and has put in a decent shift during his time with Albion. A very wholehearted performer who has been played out of position by GP. The kind of tactic that might have worked for GP in the Scandinavian lower leagues but a strange one in the Premier League.

Burn is being asked to do a role he is ludicrously unsuited to. Feel sorry for the lad. Should only be played as a CB in a back 4.

Ah, I guess were blaming Burn today for not being quicker than that winger? How about no one picking up Lacazette?

At least Burn tracked the runner. None of the midfielders were willing or able to get anywhere near Lacazette.

Burn probably should have fouled him on halfway mind

Burn is a CB. He’s being asked to play in a position clearly not suitable. It’s diabolical management.

This. Burn was being roasted by Saka a good 5-10 minutes before he set up Lacazette's goal. It's not his fault that he isn't faster, and Bernardo offered him zero help. A decisive manager would have plugged that weakness somehow before the goal went in as it was blindingly obvious to everyone at home.

Dan Burn was decent for a lot of last year. Stepped up into a totally new position and was really enjoyable to watch.

Shocking thread.
