He's been incredible, he's just absolutely at his limit and he's starting to get a bit Steve Bruce in his obstinance which I think is just stupid. You have two right wingers, don't put two left wingers on. Burn's been amazing, he can't pass, he's not top end, he's slow as ****, move on.
It was an insipid 1st half....did well, got the lead and then ****ed up trying to be cute once again.. It won't surprise me if we lose to psv.
Yes it was. We then go in the lead and the pattern repeats. We sit back, 11 men behind the ball so their defenders move up past the half way line as they know Big Nick has no pace and we have 11 men behind the ball. It's not ****ing rocket science...... Put a pacey player and tell him to sit between half way line so any out balls can be fought! It also means that the opposition has to leave 2 defenders back to cover and so we then have the man advantage when defending...
We didn't sit back, Murphy very nearly made it 1-3. And their keeper made some good saves too before they equalised.
Burn needs replacing but he's going nowhere.... They did in the last 10... They tried for the 3rd, but eventually tried to shut up shop.. The manual says that's what you do, but unfortunately Newcastle are incapable, so they should just play their game until the end perhaps.
