Burnley v Newcastle United - Official Buildup/Matchday Thread

Good point. Good changes at HT, but Cabella should have started. Well done lads

 

1-1 final score

 

ft 1-1

 

Good point in the end and much better second half. God to see some fight in them and not rolling over.

 

**** point, they're a poor side and it showed second half. If Cabella starts that game then we go home with 3 points.

Final ball was poor all game.

 

On the whole I thought 2 points lost. When are we ever going to deliver a decent dead ball kick? Our free kicks and corners are diabolical and it was summed up in the last minute when Abeid couldn't even get the ball in play from a corner,

 

You just have to love the way one game can be interpreted in so many different ways.

 

To be honest that is simply inexcusable at Prem level. How can these pros not be able to deliver from a dead ball FFS!

 

Good point given their form but did feel they were there for the taking. We were docile first half. Pardew again changed the game with tactical switches but really through getting into them. They had clearly had it laid out that it was not good enough.

 

Half way to safety.

 

Given the team put out and the injuries I would take a point but a bit disappointed after encouraging second half performance.

Cabella promising, Tiote grew into game as it progressed and nice to see Cisse score.

 

The tactics first half were utter ****e. It's all well and good sitting deep and countering away at West Ham, home to Liverpool etc but against one of the poorest teams in the league we should be looking to get at them from the first whistle and dominating possession.

It's no surprise that when Pardew was forced to set us up like that be ause we were losing we looked the better team.

Tiote offers nothing on the ball, his range of passing is awful. Needs to get it and shift it much quicker than he does.

 

for the players we didnt have available im happyish with a point but december is going to be tough a big slide is coming

 

Watching the highlights, christ someone needs to reel that **** saylor in. Bombing forward, not getting back and then staying upfront for far too long , damn near abandoning the rest of the defence, trying to glory hunt a goal which never looked like happening. If he does that against chelsea we will be in real trouble.

 

Sounds like Colo will hopefully be back for the Chelsea match.

 

Two points dropped

 

Think it might have been because we were the ones chasing the game.

 

We were drawing at this point mate. He is so unaware of what is going on around him it often makes painful viewing.

 

Having been at the game, it was clear to see that once we scored the only team who looked like they were going to score was us. If you noticed Ings who looked impressive was having to go around chasing the ball, usually a sign of a team on the back foot.

 

Mate I'm only going on what I saw the highlights and everytime I saw Saylor he was in the final third, milling about up there trying to grab a goal. Now that is great to want to do that but by the time he would get back he was sucking air. Like you say we looked like the only team who wanted to win the game, what if Saylor doing that cost us a point? He is too gung-ho, blood rushing to the head type of defender that I worry about/hate.
