Aiston Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 1 minute ago, Ronaldo said: He’s utter tosh and gets away with it because he’s a Geordie. Massive weakness who everyone knows to target. He gets away with it because he's rarely punished when a mistake is made. And we have Targett who is worse than Burn and a kid not ready as alternatives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Ref has been absolutely magnificent so far. Such a joy compared to the shit we deal with every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 The Dan Burn weekly back and forth is getting tiresome now lol. I mean we've been playing a central defender as full-back for over a year now and its quite clear now what his limitations (or in other words, near total non-contribution) to our attacking is. Don't get me wrong, love the lad but he's a central defender man. That position is something we really need to improve on, its a shame Targett has not come back to previous form after return from injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Will we see Hall starting regularly by the end of the season? Zero malice/ill will towards Burn but it's pretty glaring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Still in this. Longy been working his arse off. Need Murphy and Burn to step it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Disappointed by the lack of intensity again, this Milan team would've crumbled under a bit pressure imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 45min lesson for everyone at the club. I'll take another half of that and 0-0 at FT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Doing really poorly at keeping shape. Huge gaps forming on transition. Newcastle are in a real rut in terms of creativity, the focus should therefore be on defensive discipline away from home IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 From that half I took that they have a nice counter attack, but that we seem to be slowly coming into the game more and it's there for the taking. Need to exploit the space left for Trippier on the right more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Aye, I'd rip your arm off for 0-0. Had a lot of the ball but not worked Maignan once. Burn isn't up to it at this level at all on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Milan so much better on the ball. Different class. We just stop when the ball reach the halfline. Cant see what our attacking plan is really. Lack of creativity? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m beginning to see he can’t play CF by himself. He needs to be just off the main striker. I'd say Longstaff has been one of our better players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Burn’s a good player and a lovely human being, but unsurprising that the “have a center back play as makeshift full back in a champions league side” idea was not a permanent solution to our left back position.

Well can’t help thinking that shirt pull on Murphy and shove on Longy would have resulted in free kicks for home side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Burn such a weak link defensively and with the ball, is Murphy playing to give defensive support because he's playing more as a midfielder than a winger. Creativity non existent and we're lucky to be level, the amount of times we're giving the ball away is shocking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If there's anyone I trust to do a bit of half time tweaking, it's Eddie. Think we've largely done ok, though only threatening when Gordon has had the ball high up. They could have scored 4 quite easily and are finding wayyyyy too much space in our box but I suspect it'll be a much tighter second half. Still in it and we're playing Milan away, mad man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Burn needs fucking off now, sorry he's been great but it's time to take him out of the team. I really hope Livramenton and Hall get a chance on Sunday. I expect Hall has a good chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Burn susceptible defensively. Poor distribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Feels like the players are too nervous. Giving the ball away and handing the initiative back to them time and time again through shit passes and silly offsides. Pope needs to relearn how to catch a ball rather than punch it for a corner. We could do with learning to defend corners better too while we're at it. Burn is hopeless on the ball, but we all knew that already. Isak again not really in the game, having to come so deep to receive the ball he might as well be playing DM. Anyway, rant over. We're level at half time at the San Siro. I don't think they are much better than us but it could and probably should be 3 or 4-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 There has been promising signs from us, but we are nowhere near quick enough getting back. We are trying to force sending Gordon on a run too much, switch it up a little. We have seen that when we string a few passes together, we can open them up as well. The commentator was saying that Milan may have a couple of minutes where they get a few chances, or take us on the break, but they won’t control the game, and that’s the way it has been. Burn needs to be able to pass to 1 of the 2 available players right in front of him, instead of sending it out for a throw in. Also we have tried to take set pieces quickly, and the initial players receiving it is ready, but those further up the pitch aren’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
