Arriba Los Zorros Posted 11 January 2022 Share Posted 11 January 2022 37 minutes ago, Stadt said: He got a lot out of King and Wilson, together. Howe has been forced into going more direct because of the squad at his disposal. Wood is a great short-medium term signing. They don't have any midfielders that can consistently progress the ball up the pitch so with Trippier signing, looks as though they’re going to be more vertical. Trying to outplay anybody with their squad would be daft tbh. Wood, Wilson, Joelinton, Willock, ASM and Trippet lend themselves to getting the ball wide, being direct and causing trouble that way. Quite like Burnley, incidentally. Fair enough. Its impressive Howe has learned to adapt his style to personnel available if so Brendan take note... 1 hour ago, Unabomber said: I have always thought this but just can’t see it this season.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an Eddie Howe side play “good football”. He ditched all his principles to try and keep Bournemouth up and although he’s not been there long the only change I’ve seen from Newcastle has been intensity rather than style of play. I would say Wood isn’t your average target man though, I’d put him more in the “big lad with ability at his feet” camp than someone you’re just going to lump it to.

I was assuming they played good football because of their leaky defence!! Re Wood he's used as a big targett man lump for Burnley isn't he?

trabuch Posted 12 January 2022 Share Posted 12 January 2022 I doubt anyone at Burnley seriously thought that release clause would be met. But it was there to keep the player happy. Newcastle chucking money around will push up release clauses in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 12 January 2022 Share Posted 12 January 2022 I get the feeling Burnley are living on borrowed time under investment has left them with an ageing squad with an average age of 30. They need a total rebuild, Dyche has worked miracles, but I wonder if he's getting to the point of having enough of working in that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wood generally scores 1 in 3 which is pretty good. Burnley have struggled this season hence less goals. If he can score 7-8 in the last 20 games it will be money well spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
