Could just be signing Maxi's goodbye card.

 

Learning to read and write is a huge thing for those from Blyth.

He was fine on the ball, Cash had him on toast though.

Cash also got toasted multiple times by players running at him, another player who wouldn’t make our bench.

Good job it was Botman put on his arse by Watkins and not Burn mind

Wouldn't have heard the last of it

Can’t wait for this lad to play for us in the CL.

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

 

Gillespie, Burn, Dummett, Hall, Longstaff, Miley, Andersen, Murphy

[RS]

Found out today. Awful for the winner. 

[Aiston]

Far more the fault of Bruno than Burn.

 

Burn always going to be on the back foot when a midfielder fucks up.

[Away Toon]

Hope that Hall is the player we all hope he is, because we need another LB on the pitch and quickly.

Burn was fine at LB today. You are right though, as Botman seems need to sit out for long

If this will make us play with two proper fullbacks and it dramatically gives us an edge then I'm all for that. 

[Newcastle Fan]

One fucking player to mark and he let him go.

[Decky]

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.

[Smal]

Amongst the least of our worries today tbh

But he is as slow as a donkey.

[Kid Icarus]

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 

[Pata]

Bruno put him in a difficult spot, hard to blame him. Was class otherwise, Salah was very quiet at right.

No. He was too far away for an intercept. 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.

[Oregon_Geordie]

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.

[STM]

Find. Someone. To. Criticise.

[Kid Icarus]

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.

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.

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.
