It is just fine margins – Dan Burn

Dan Burn has been a constant in the Newcastle United team since Eddie Howe signed him back in January 2022.

Since making his first Premier League start for Newcastle United in a 1-0 win over Aston Villa on 13 February 2022, Dan Burn has now started 91 PL matches for NUFC, named only four times on the bench in the league.

Wednesday night sees Dan Burn and Newcastle United facing Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

Dan Burn declaring ‘Once we do put a complete performance together, I think we will be flying.’ Here’s hoping that performance comes on Wednesday at St James’ Park.

Dan Burn speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club:

“Since the gaffer has come in, we have had a style of play that we go for and it has worked well for us.

“We just probably haven’t had that complete performance yet this season.

“I think we have been good in spells, which is a positive.

“Once we do put a complete performance together, I think we will be flying.

“The table is tight.

“You can see from our performance against Chelsea that everyone is putting the effort in and it is just fine margins.

“I think the season where we got to the Champions League was a surprise, with the total change in the way we played the season before.

“Once teams have played against you once or twice, they can obviously change the way they play. The thing is that you have got to constantly evolve the way you are playing – you can’t really stand still in this game.

“You can’t just keep rolling out the same thing constantly or else teams will sort of find out what you’re about.”
