I don't know who he is, but our new presenter thats been around this last few weeks has a much better personality then the last bloke at the helm.


Andy Sixsmith, he works for the PL.

I lov u mattem

 

I love him. He's such a likeable bloke. Lodi looks incredible, but as daft as it might sound, I'd rather feel the connection with a player that's not as good. It's what it's all about for me.

Would be amazing if he could get in the England squad like. He's definitely got consistency and defensive nous in his favour. Would probably take an injury to Chilwell or Shaw to give him a really good chance (similar to the opening Burn potentially has) and he'd need to step up a bit, but it's within his capabilities.

Absolutely bliddy love this fella. Great attitude and think he has been a steal.

 

It's interesting that both him and Wilson have been talking about wanting to play for England as well. I'm guessing Howe has them all dreaming a bit.

 

And why the hell not? That's what football is supposed to be about, for players as much as for fans.

Botman coming in has potentially torpedoed any slim chance Burn has of making the England squad, I think.

 

Target should have a chance though but he doesn’t seem to be that highly rated outside of our NUFC echochamber, unfortunately. A lot of “big 6” fans seem to point him out as being a weak link in our first xi, which he clearly isn’t.

Missed this guy big time today, BDB is not a lb as admirable as he did preforme

I think this really affected our shape, fine defensively but didn't get an overlapping on the left.

Agreed, he did really well defending but you could tell ASM was struggling without another threat nearby. Everyone knows Burn is not going to drive forward so they're free to double team Maxi.

I believe he did make a run once but he isn't a threat on the wing so yea.

Burn was easily our best outfield player like. Good to know we can depend on him at left back.

 

Will be harsh on him but Targett left-back, Botman LCB next match.

Given Trippiers performance today I could see an argument for going 3 at the back like Eddie likes to do at Chelsea.

 

So Botman, Burn and Targett could start. Targett as wing back.


I’d go for this as well, drop Willock.

Still not back in training, and Howe had made more post-match comments on him that I wasn't aware of:
 

“He got a dead leg last week to his hamstring. We felt it was just a knock, but we had a scan and it showed very, very subtle damage to the muscle.

 

“We’re treating it like a very small muscle strain, but we’re hoping he will be back soon.”
