Newcastle United v Burnley match thread

Do we not practice free kicks in training?

Every one we get anywhere near the opposition's penalty area seems to end up going over the bar

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:24 pm

I can't watch this till the end of the season. Something needs to change.

Our biggest issue is our midfield. Miles off Premier League standard I think. Defence and attack suffers as a result. A long winter ahead I fear.

We’ll do well to finish anything but bottom this season

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:25 pm

Worst bit of this is Newcastle are absolutely abysmal. It’s gonna be a long winter.

Another hopeful lump from Westwood

Such stylish play

Get McNeil wide left where he belongs. No crosses coming in. We need to score not lose 1-0

I’ve been trying to stay positive, but this is sh!t

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:26 pm

We look poor this half but the problem is we have given them something to hold onto and none of our bench options have goals I them

We’re so bad at direct free kicks. The last one I can remember us scoring is Brady against Chelsea and that was about five years ago.

Defour scored a couple during his time, including that stunner at OT, but yes it's a part of our game we've been lacking in for far too long.

They look more likely to score than we do

Most of our squad don't have goals in them.

Can see Kevin long coming on up top today

How has Almiron not been booked?? He's committed at least 5 cynical fouls

cockneyclaret · Post by **cockneyclaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:29 pm

We'll never score here, can't see anything in attack

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:29 pm

How many fouls have they committed? Tierney doesn’t seem interested and a couple have been naughty.

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:29 pm

You're right Newcastle are poor , but we are clueless . Pass sideways , back and then lump it .

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:29 pm

Nice elbow in the face from Almerion,

Yet again, nothing!

Sheedyclaret · Post by **Sheedyclaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:30 pm

Its been poor for months, no surprises seriously lacking in quality

That's what is so annoying, they are a poor side, but we've gifted them the lead, and currently we don't appear to have any hope of equalising.

Wood is crap again today alas

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:30 pm

Roberts coming on for Lowton

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:31 pm

Not the lack of effort. And there is some skill
But its just the tactics …same very week… its like doing something and expecting a different result.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:31 pm

Roberts for Lowton?

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:31 pm

The saddest part of this is that I feel a sense of urgency/panic/need to win from Newcastle.

I don’t from us.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:33 pm

We are going down.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:33 pm

How much are we missing Tony Loughlin on the touchline? We’ve gone backwards ever since he left.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:33 pm

As bad as I have seen all season and can't really look for subs to improve it

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:34 pm

Feels a bit hopeless right now.

Shades of John Ward leaving Adrian Heath?

I hate to say this … but this performance has relegation written all over it.

Bringing on a defender to keep the goal difference down

Newcastle want it. We don't.

And we are worse

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:35 pm

Bizarre substitution. Smacks of panic.

brexit · Post by **brexit** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:35 pm

This is not a midfield problem it is a mentality problem we have proved this team can beat any team in the PL but they don't seem to have a plan - I will be the first to see it - Dyche needs to go

The most annoying thing is everytime we start to progress forward, we suddenly stop, turn and play it backwards. It then ends up being lumped and lost. Come on lads, desperately need these points.

And we’ve been doing it for 3 years…

Are we even trying to chase the game? All Newcastle. They look like scoring again.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:38 pm

In a must not lose game, we’re treating this with all the intensity of the Carabao Cup.

Absolutely horrific.

Tread Warily · Post by **Tread Warily** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:38 pm

We are absolutely atrocious, Is Wood even on the pitch?

diamondpocket · Post by **diamondpocket** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 4:39 pm

Shambolic & absolutely clueless going forward - get it wide and pump it in or pump it long.
2nd balls, forget that, our 2 central midfielders are 25 yards away from the box yet St Max still flies past them

4-4-2 has gone Sean - we're going down with these tactics!
How to destroy a young player, in Dwight, masterclass. Look at that first season when he came in and kept us up. Let's watch the videos and see what he did when he hadn't been coached by Dyche. Look at him!
