I can literally guarantee that Newcastle will surrender points with poor Burn being played in this position again. If it's not Today it won't be long, because I can remember it happened repeatedly two seasons ago.
Most players could be improved on in any team, however only Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal have accumulated more Premier League points than us since Howe took over. I would therefore suggest the players you mentioned aren't as bad as you think.
Something must be going on behind the scenes with Hall? Can’t be “managing his minutes” all the time. Attitude? Personal problems?
Howe doesn't fancy him imo and it's not the 1st time we've seen this. I think they'll sell him this January or the summer.
It's only odd if you've forgotten that Hall was pretty much frozen out until west ham home after Howes original subs had to come off injured.
Burn was targeted successfully again and again for months mate. It only improved when Hall came on vs West ham. BTW burn is ok at CB.. He's useless on the left. It's not fair on him I don't think.. He's going to end up looking daft.
Burn? Not at left back for me. He was repeatedly beaten by wingers that season, to the point where it started to look cruel to keep putting him out there. At CB yeah, he's a solid option.
