My dad would do that but he was brought up in the 60s care system. What's yer poison? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Aye he looks like a Rolls Royce of a defender, his positioning and passing range are especially impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20110 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 The way he reads a game is mint. Ideally he would have had a few more games to bed in. But he's slotted in well. VVD when he signed for Liverpool it took him a while to adjust and he had Prem experience. But now look at him. Well, maybe not this season LOLS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10846 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It'll take a while to get the partnerships right. Bear in mind this is largely a new defence. If we think our first choice defence is; Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Targett, none of these players played with each other 10 months ago. Relationships and partnerships will take time. For Botman he's also got to grow accustomed to the league, and he's only a young player too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6581 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Be interested to see who he plays at CB when all fit. I have a feeling he'll prefer one right foot and one left footed centre back pairing. Burn doesn't deserve to be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Agree that Burn absolutely does not deserve dropping but it might just be a case of rotation, especially if we expect to give the cups a decent run. As we are set up at the moment, we have 4 good options across 3 positions in defence. Surely we can make that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6581 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Think we'll need to play Targett v Liverpool. His lower centre of gravity might be able to cope with Salah a bit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20110 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 It's harsh to drop Burn as I don't think Burn has put a foot wrong. But like what was said in the True Faith poddy, Botman is a better passer than Burn and v Bournemouth that's what we needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like what was said in the True Faith poddy, Botman is a better passer than Burn and v Bournemouth that's what we needed. It wasn't the passing that was the problem, it was our inability to play through the low block. And when we did break through their lines, Almiron and fraser were failing to put decent crosses/final balls in. Agains that kind of set up we need someone like ASM to do the unexpected, or for Bruno to be at full match sharpness to thread balls through. Botman's ability to get the ball quickly to Willock, Bruno or Joelinton isn't going to break an embedded defensive unit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4377 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Seems to be going under the radar of the media how good this bloke's been. Bruno and Almiron got all the headlines vs spurs but I thought Botman was our best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6581 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Jamie RedCrapp did mention he could be as good as any defender in the PL. the more these players stay in under the radar the better. I can't believe he can't get in the holland squad. Rolls Royce. Edited October 25, 2022 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
