Nine Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 15 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: He's a fucking class defender like. We'll feel it massively when he's gone. To deal with Halaand like he did after the early yellow card isn’t to be overlooked like I know Halaand got the assist but he had to drop wide to do so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Did well against Haaland in the main, but can't shake the that his very shaky start made others over compensate to cover him, and it cost us 2 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 https://www.facebook.com/reel/895490150115445 One of the main reasons why Haaland barely ever score against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Some cracking cross field balls yesterday, first time I’ve seen him do it but he’s got them in his locker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 One of the worst games i've seen him have with us. Second to everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 It was like when you were 21 and you were 1 short at 5 a side so you'd ring your Dad Great block first half mind and I will always love him no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Thought it was interesting that it looked to me like it was his error that played everyone on for their 2nd, but Hoddle immediately said that everyone else should have dropped off like he did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 He's done incredible things at this club but tonight was an example of why he's not going to be on the next part of our journey. He was probably never good enough for this level and he's certainly not at 33. I suspect next year he'll become firmly a squad player and will then leave at the end of his contract in 2027 or move into a coaching role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I think he looks more leggy since his injury. Love the bloke but he shouldn't be first choice going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The fact that he has 0 pace is what makes him being a good defender even more impressive. He's done his bit here but unfortunately looks even slower which I didn't know was even possible. He's fine as a backup for next season with a partner next to him who can cover ground.

Lotus Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Yeah, he was particularly bad last night. I really think the tactics of tight man to man on a huge pitch against nippy Barca players was a very dubious idea and asking Burn to attempt that was a bad call.

AJ9 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Should have played Botman instead of him I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As someone said on the match day thread why on earth didn’t we go two up against Brobbey? He was backing in to Botman/Thiaw constantly and winning everything so Burn just needs to go in front and Hall tuck in so there isn’t too much of a gap to stop it from happening. All their threat came from long balls to Brobbey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said at the end of last season when we came fifth that the three players to replace were Pope, Burn and Joelinton in that order for more elite technical players as well as getting a technical RW. Shows how much changes because I think we need double that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 love Big Dan but I fear we're seeing a fair but of a downturn from him recently. He seems to be losing his head a fair bit defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 There's not much that gets my blood pressure up more than the Big Dan Burn left wing overlap from centre half. It's such a bizarre tactic, it's not as if he has the end product to justify the great big fuck-off gap that you just know nobody has bothered to fill in the middle of the pitch.

What you don't like the massive gap left which is voted by "checks notes* the rapid Sven Botman? It's rancid and someone should have a word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
