The difference with Burns in the team by USA 30 Dec 2025 14:48
Is that he had a first time shot!!

A threat from the right, he arrives into the box with perfect timing, and he shoots. No check back, no attempt to get it onto his left. Didn’t try and walk the ball into the net by playing back across goal. He simply hit it.

This post is not meant to be negative about any other player at all, but it’s highlights the additional threat we have when we play a right footer on the right wing. You cannot knock Philogene or Clarke on the left, or Egeli on the right, but only have players that cut it every single time makes it easier to defend. Burns playing will stretch defences more and open up more space for others I think.(Some might say tearing defences apart, again!)

Love to see it!!
