Mazzy Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 2 hours ago, JLC said: How are they set for strikers after Solanke's exit? I've got a feeling we'll do them. 2.0 to Eddie's Mags Unal is injured for a few more weeks, they've signed another recently but he didn't take any part in their last game. They've been playing Semenyo or Jebbison up top, so they certainly shouldn't have the firepower we do. But Bournemouth were one of those teams last season where they were far better than the sum of their parts. Won't be easy at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do watch our games I take it and not listening to RTG? Oh my days. If you've not seen a basic mistake from BDB I'd argue that it is you that isn't watching.

gbandit Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 At Centre Back there’s not much evidence of it, certainly not at Newcastle. At LB he would regularly get beaten down the outside last year though. I think that’s less of an issue for him at CB though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least paying attention I will TOTALLY flip this and inform you that you are spouting shite. Dan Burn has been a great acquisition and his performances have mostly been heroic (last week for example). He was forced into an unorthodox position for him at leftback because of our injury problems last season. Up against a speedy winger I would concede that he struggled somewhat. Overall though, I think he's been an unsung hero and when I see comments like yours I really question your ability to gauge what is a good player. From your comments I can tell you automatically hate him regardless of his performances. You have obviously told your mates that he is crap and you are desperate to be proven right, regardless of his excellent displays. My opening sentence still stands, "you are spouting shite".

Dan Burn is a fantastic representative of Newcastle and Newcastle United. He's put in some amazing shifts since signing and the shit he gets online is absolutely fucking absurd. If anything, Eddie Howe fucked up leaving him so exposed at Left Back, and I love Eddie Howe. Everyone seems desperate to hate on folk online. Bizarre.

Heron Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Why anyone as a Newcastle fan or Geordie would slate Dan Burn is beyond me. He encapsulates what being a Newcastle fan is for much of its community. He represents this city. Just as Sean Longstaff does (and others) and I'm proud of how they represent people like me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 BDB is a legend. There has always been criticism of him being played at LB, but this was about tactics and team selection, not the man himself. I have no concerns about BDB playing half a season at CB. The big worry is what happens if there are any further injuries at CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 15 hours ago, Stifler said: Sorry like, but in response to those who would take a draw. If you want us to be competing for the Champions League, or even Europe, then a draw away to Bournemouth would have to be a result you have to be disappointed with. If you look at the last 28 games of last season, Bournemouth got one fewer point than us and more points than Spurs. The 28 game thing comes from me looking at the table after the first 10 games. That's six months of better form than Tottenham. During that time, they got 11 more points than Brighton, who many will fear on their own park. I suppose the biggest question will be how much of it was Solanke powered. Did Solanke make Bournemouth/Ireola look good or was it vice versa? Anyway, not a must-win for me. Not at this stage.

As I said yesterday, when we finished 4th we drew away to Bournemouth as did Villa last season. We will obviously go and try and win but a point is more than decent imo.
