toontownman Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 We are really not that far off the 90s for Geordies in the team, if you count newcastle fans too. SJH will be proud!

Aiston Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Far more the fault of Bruno than Burn. Burn always going to be on the back foot when a midfielder fucks up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hope that Hall is the player we all hope he is, because we need another LB on the pitch and quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this will make us play with two proper fullbacks and it dramatically gives us an edge then I'm all for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Far too slow to be at centre back imo. We need a new centre back to support Schar and Botman but sure we knew that anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Our cbs often step in to intercept through balls. That's what it looked like he was about to do but it was too late. Much more Bruno's fault tbh, but I wouldn't pin it on any one player, the game management was all wrong and it was obvious in real time, not just hindsight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Bruno put him in a difficult spot, hard to blame him. Was class otherwise, Salah was very quiet at right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he stepped up thinking to play him offside but he timing and awareness were well short. He wasn’t tested much at LB as Salah moved centre but when he was run at, he needed help every time. I haven’t really seen him at CB for us apart from today. Hopefully he’s normally much better at it cause his afternoon he was pub level. Love the bloke and he’s doing his best but…… Well, we signed Hall so the club also see him as an upgrade position waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Fuck off blaming Burn man... Yes, slow, but Bruno shouldn't be fucking around in there, likewise Tonali shouldn't be the two times he give it away before being subbed. We were sloppy and lackluster in the middle, not much different from City away tbh. Just Gordon had a fucking go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 You haven't really seen him at CB for us? He played there every game for 6 months and was outstanding. He fucked up, Bruno fucked up even more, but our approach to being a goal and a man up was the overriding problem. Liverpool were always going to have chances.

Love the bloke and he’s doing his best but…… Well, we signed Hall so the club also see him as an upgrade position waiting to happen. He was doing great at CB when we first signed him. We used Targett as LB back then, remember? We were a completely different team with a different playstyle at that time however, so difficult to tell if he's good enough there now.

pubteam Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 In my humble opinion the system we play demands fast and agile fullbacks. Burn has neither of these qualities, he's a square peg in a round hole. I feel we have a genuine weakness on the left that was exposed more greatly when Gordon was substituted.

He's fine as a second choice CB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_once_removed Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 He was fine to good. As others have said he kept Salah quiet then had to shift into CB mid game. A sloppy pass from Bruno meant he was out of position against one of the fastest strikers in the league. Hardly Titus Bramble-esq. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say not the only one, so not like he was solely culpable or anything, but still poor positioning and concentration from the big man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
