Re: Clarets Vs Newcastle

Too many small, light-weight, naive players throughout the team. Trafford has made some good saves but his distribution is poor to say the least, backfour doing ok but no protection, Berge playing well but Cullen and Brownhill being overrun, Ramsey totally naive to lose the ball for their goal, Kolo...

Al-Dakhil was unlucky there with the ball bouncing around but he has a lot to learn at this level. He has to stay on his feet more and stop committing himself 99% of the time.
He shouldn’t be playing at right back...he is a centre back, end of story.
