XI
If you had to create a combined eleven from the last two seasons who would feature?
For me, it would be
Manger : VK
Pope
Robberts
Beyer
THB
Mee (LB)
Cork
Cullen
Zaroury
Brownhill
Cornet
Jay

Re: XI
Weird question because we’re playing in a completely different way. But realistically VK would happily have pope, Tarks, Mee, Collins, cornet and maybe McNeil back…

Manager: Kompany.
Mee vs THB is a concession to the style of football we are playing right now, but as a pure defender he's better than THB by yards - and I can absolutely see the argument for Collins ahead of either. Cullen likewise is ahead of Brownhill or Westwood because of how he suits Kompany’s style. Whilst Pope isn't as good a footballer as Muric, he's clearly so far the better keeper that he has to be selected.
Tarkowski, Cornet, McNeil and Wood though would all absolutely fit this team and this style and would improve it in those positions - there are some short memories when it comes to them. And the first reserve striker is Weghorst.

Cullen would have moved the ball on,whilst McNeil was thinking about,would have Tarks on the bench ,& bring Pope on after Muric had created 3 of our goals just to shore up the defence.claretspice wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 6:47 pmPope

Benson is better and anybody leaving him out is watching a different game to the rest of us.
If anything you'd have Cornet up front.

If you're picking Pope and Tarkowski, chose Dyche as the manager. You can't have it both ways.

Don't agree about Tarkowski though. Tarks was a good enough footballer to play this way if surrounded by players also capable of doing so and encouraged to do so. That's what he was known for at Brentford before he came to Burnley.

In this current side, Pope wipes the floor with muric. Popes “imagined” poor footwork is no reason to keep out the best keeper in the PL. The vast majority (95%+) of Murics play is a sideways pass so to suggest he’s a match winner because of his passing is bizarre. Pope can match that AND seize the ball in his own 6 yard box.
And Tarks is so far ahead of THB it’s ridiculous. The only question mark here is Mee or Beyer.
There will undoubtedly be those who struggle to separate, and to those I say pick either Tarks and Mee, or THB and Beyer.

Re: XI
Nick Pope and Chris Wood both started in a 0-3 Premier League win for the team who are 3rd in the league, I'm really unsure why they're being totally written off by some. Which other Newcastle players do they not think would get in our team?

Re: XI
Chris wood started because Wilson was out injured. Don’t try to convince anyone on this message board he started because he’s a great footballer because we all know he isn’t.
He scored because he was given a free hit at goal, not because he carved a chance from nothing, or because he used skill/guile/pace to get himself into a scoring position.

Re: XI
There's a bit of a gap in my mind between a player who literally wouldn't know what to do if he was playing in the Championship and a player who plays in a dominant win for a team competing at the top of the Premier League. It was his third start and he's played in 15 of their 16 games. And they're third in the league above us.bobinho wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:58 pmChris wood started because Wilson was out injured.

It's not just Muric's passing in this system, it's his ability to control the football in tight spaces and remain calm. I used to have mini heart attacks when the ball was played back to Pope, he'd take 3 touches just to get it under control.bobinho wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:40 pmBut before I go….Yes you can.

I'm sorry but Pope cannot pass the football anywhere near the same as Muric.
Re: XI
He can definitely Ping a ball.
For me i would have Pope in a heartbeat instead Muric. I am hoping though Muric might improve his catching and cming out for high balls. Tarks would be more than useful v Sheff U for example.

I think he'd know exactly what was happening, and would just head for the 6 yard box in order to score an absolute hat full from all the penalty box chances we create.bobinho wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:45 pmI very much enjoy your reasoned and considered contributions to this board, really I do.

He quite literally wouldn’t know what was going on, where it was happening or why he was on the pitch. And neither would we.
I also think Wood is generally misunderstood amongst Burnley fans. I think we'd play more to his strengths now than we ever did under Dyche. Under Dyche we needed the centre forward to hold the ball up and create then platform for our attacking moves cos we used long diagonals a lot. That didn't entirely suit Wood because that wasn't the strongest function of his game.
Now, we don't necessarily need a centre forward to play with his back to goal, or get involved especially in our link game. We need someone to make intelligent runs and use their physicality to occupy defenders and create the space for others to play through the thirds, and who can then get on the end of moves in the 6 yard box. Those are exactly the strengths of Wood so he'd fit in just fine.
Even if you think he was used by Dyche as in a jurassic role - although I don't think that's fair, personally- that certainly doesn't make him a dinosaur himself. His goalscoring record, at PL and Championship level, is outstanding.
