Case for the defence

[Albert's Chip Shop]

Last 4 games….

Clean sheets- 4
Goals scored- 10

not many teams will lock out AC Milan at their place and Man City.

slices of humble pie eaten- lots

Injury problems are mounting up and Newcastle are getting tough draws in the cups making life more and more difficult.

It's nice that they're getting clean sheets and they'll have to keep it up.

The other positive there is that it gives some of our squad players a chance like Tino last night who looked outstanding. I think Hall would come good too.

Which is the exact skill set some on here have demanded in place of Burn.

It's not the same as attacking from full back .. he's a very good player burns days are numbered

That's a stretch

That's like saying you want a LB who can attack, so play him at CF then complain he doesn't score

"We want a LB that ATTACKS!!"

It's a complete strawman argument

 

[Fox Mulder]

They'll be after burns arse the minute Newcastle sign a fancy player they're attracted to.

Unfortunately Hall doesn't wear a hair band or something so they don't want to shag him.

I said skill set for that reason mate, fully expect him to play left back but the whole thing was disjointed last night, Targett, Hall, Dummet, all play that position and it looked mental first half.

I really don't think he looked comfortable in the left midfield slot done last night but as I said previously nobody looked good that first half so to pick on him alone coz he was subbed is harsh.

Confused the hell out of City though... They didn't make a huge number of chances despite their possession stats!
