Burnley v Newcastle - we clearly need Burnley to win

[rebel]

Burnley has drawn the last 5 at home,
Newcastle has won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 away from home.

[We Are Premier League]

Feels like a draw is on the cards, good result for both of them...

Yep, we will find out if Newcastle are feeling the pressure, a 'must win game for them'. Burnely aren't 'out of the woods just yet'.

Absolutely no pressure on Newcastle:

2 games in hand

3 points ahead

Playing much better than Fulham

And lets finally admit it - we are crap and deserve to be relegated

That's your opinion, which is fine. Lucky Roy Hodgson didn't think like that, I don't think Parker or the players are thinking like that. We had games in hand, we know what happened with the games in hand.

Like Bamford, I never thought Vydra would play in the top flight.

He's just scored.

I think Burnley kind of highlight where we went wrong squad depth wise. Look at the array of average strikers they have. That's not a disrespect to them. They know they probably aren't going to get the best in the business but know they need hard working, strong, athletic front men who don't necessarily have the best goals ratio but know if even one of them hits a stride, they'll score a few goals. Spread that out to Wood, Rodriguez, Barnes and Vydra, you have a lineup that will likely just about score enough to keep you in the league. Just highlights, and this is a positive comment on Parker, that clearly, the squad he received at start of season to now, was very imbalanced.

Yeeees

[The Cravenette]

Burnley 1 up. I know it's desperate but come on Burnley!

[Baszab]

If Newcastle lose all their remaining games we stay up

[The Cravenette]

I mean if neither us or Newcastle pick up any more points between now and the our last match, we probably both deserve to go down!

[itombomb]

Both teams actually trying to get players in the box, and getting to the byline as well. Who would have thought that could be successful tactically?

Appalling refereeing , player kicked on the back of the leg in pen area —- no free kick or pen
Player just a touch 2 mins later , near touch line                                 —- couldn't wait to give free kick
Just outside Newcastle pent area player a ncl player stands still Burnley player turns and touches the standing leg — free kick
( what's the defender supposed to do get out of his way to let him score)
The high kick clearance in Burnley pen area   When I was refereeing it was classes as dangerous play should be indirect free kick. ——- var involved and ref nothing at all given. Absolutely diabolical . Far too old now but makes me wish I never gave it up —— in 1974.

If Newcastle lose all their remaining games we stay up

Don't forget WBA

VAR can't check high kicks because result would have been an indirect free kick - not within VAR remit

I've been really impressed with Burnley's corners. Every single one is threatening

[Dodgin]

Lost count of Burnley corners
