Earp Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 16 minutes ago, Doctor Zaius said: Has he watched Burn and Livramento this season? I mean, I'm happy for them but Livramento in particular has been crap. Burn has looked out of place every time he's played for England and I sincerely hope he isn't being taken with the possiblity of being played at left back. Very strange that Hall hasn't gone, suspect defensively, but if you're chasing a game and want a change at full back, surely he's your man. Djed Spence and Madueke are also bizzare pick. Meh, least arsed I've ever been about a world cup, hopefully I get into it when it comes around. I think Burn has looked solid for England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Funny reading people not arsed about England when we have the most Newcastle players in a world cup squad for some time Once the tournament is underway, folks will change their tune quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Suspect Burn is going for his leadership capability and probably won't play unless it's a dead rubber or he's coming on late to shore up and win headers when we sit deep. Livramento though, and Djed Spence, but not Hall, is absolute insanity. Don't understand it one iota. I know they can both cover both sides but they're both in crap form and haven't played much.

Fak Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Not sure how much game time Burn will get, but he could be a useful weapon from set-pieces. Can't imagine the games being played at much pace in that heat. Probably wrong. Usually am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtua Stiva Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 People calling for Maguire are massively living in the past IMO. He was basically playing walking football and slowing us to a crawl at the last WC and he’s now 4 years older Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I would love it for Burn to go and play. I dont think he is the one of the best we could offer. He is effective being a proper old school defender. No nonsense or fancy passing....just hoof up the pitch and get away from danger. I reckon it could surprise teams after the group Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Burn is a better footballer than he's given credit for. He plays it out calmly - he doesn't break lines but he's no worse on the ball than Van De Ven. International football favours team harmony and pragmatism imo.

gjohnson Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 We are never going to out pass or play the likes of France, Germany, Brazil, but we can certainly outwork them, and Burn would do it...can see him and Bruno having a massive barney on the pitch if we somehow ended up against Brazil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I respect Tuchel doing it his way despite not agreeing with a lot of those expected choices. I don’t think Burn over Maguire is such the error some neutrals are making out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got "passed to death in 35 degree heat by the first side we play who can keep the ball better than we can run" and a 2000s/2010s style "PL is the bestest league in the so world the players were knackered" inquest written all over it hasn't it. Hopefully I'm massively wrong though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I think Burn has looked solid with England whenever he has played and maybe with Maguire out, will be one of our aerial threats on set pieces. Hall has had a decent season but I feel he has been guilty for some of the late goals we have conceded recently. So maybe that's why Tuchel didnt pick him. Livramento's inclusion is a weird one because since his return from injury he hasn't been as explosive as he was. Palmer too is a weird one because he does have that skill to win games. Maybe the goals we conceded against Greece and Japan where he looked passive defensively may have weighed on Tuchel's mind.🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Burn is a set piece monster in international match. He is already dominating in EPL and pretty sure he can win every header in the World Cup. I can understand this selection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Henderson is a makem, he does have leadership skills. A cup squad needs players like him...even just for morale, which as much as I hate from.a football perspective he can deliver. I feel dirty admitting a makem player could be useful 🤢 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s declined and his inclusion as backup was always going to be a coin flip. Take it on the chin and recognise where you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
