England fans are all making a similar point about Dan Burn in wake of Newcastle star’s Three Lions debut v Albania
Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has had a great month, helping the Magpies win the Carabao Cup before making his England debut.
Burn scored the opener in Newcastle’s encounter with Liverpool, paving the way for a 2-1 win which gave the Magpies their✨ first trophy since the 1960🎃s.
Indeed, Micah Richards said Burn’s performance against Liverpool was one of the best he’s ever seꦿen.
The following week, Burn linked up with the England camp ahead of t꧑heir World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
New England managꦬer Thomas Tuchel handed the Newcastle star his debu♚t, naming him in the starting XI against Albania.
A number of fans watching the game made a similar observation as they watched Burn in action against the s♒ide ranked 65th in the world.
Fans concerned over how Dan Burn struggled against Armando Broja
Although fans were pleased with Burn in terms of his ꧃gr🍒eat story and wonderful month, they didn’t feel he had a great debut.
They pointed to how Armando Broja gave the Newcast🌌le man a hard time after he came⛄ on.
One fan said on X: “Dan Burn has beꩵen shocking in💜 the second half.
“Adrenaline 🦹got him through the first, it seems. If Broja is running off you and beating you in the air, t🐽hen have a re-think.”
Another wrote: “Burn is 🔯being found wanting since Broja’s introduction. He’s struggling now.”
The concerns kept coming, with one fan saying🐠: “Dan🌺 Burn likeable guy but Broja has come off the bench and picked him out and has him on toast here.
“Can’t see that running at World Cup level honestly🅘.”
Another wrote: “B💦roja has been schooling Dan Burn a bit here.”
Another said: “He’s had a great week fair play to him but can we let this Bu♌rn 🌸experiment end early? Been rag-dolled by Broja since he came on.”
How Dan Burn fared for England against Albania
Admittedly, Burn did have some shaky moments against Broja, but he played well for the most part and♉ clocked up some impressive stats on the night.
For instance, he weighed in with seven clearances🐓, two tackles and one block, won six duels, and was very accurate with his pasജsing.
| Dan Burn stats v Albania | |
| Clearances | 7 |
| Blocked shots | 1 |
| Total tackles | 2 |
| Dribbled past | 2 |
| Ground duels (won) | 5 (2) |
| Aerial duels (won) | 6 (4) |
| Possession lost | 3 |
| Fouls | 1 |
| Touches | 153 |
| Accurate passes | 135/137 (99%) |
| Long balls (acc.) | 3 (3) |
| Shots on target | 0 |
| Shots off target | 1 |
| Shots blocked | 2 |
Burn also ജtried his luck with three efforts and was successful with all three of his long balls.
However, h💧e was also dribbled past twice and lost possession threeౠ times, so there’s definitely some work to do.
Nonetheless, Burn was making his debut fo💜r England, and teething errors aren’t particularly unusual for most players in that situation.
The Newcastle star will have time to learn and get things at international ▨lev🌌el before the 2026 World Cup comes around.
