Dan Burn drops brutally honest claim about Liverpool player that’s going to sting

Alexis Mac Allister will have to take at least some of the blame for Dan Burn’s opening goal against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

The Geordie’s header set the tone for the remainder of the encounter, with Newcastle proving the far more dominant, physical side.

In truth, the Reds were fortunate not to have been blown away on the scoreline after the cup winners fired 17 shots (six on target) to the former’s seven (two on target).

Matters were hardly helped by Mo Salah’s abnormally invisible showing at Wembley Stadium, though there were truly few Liverpool players who could leave London with their head held high.

You could forgive Alexis Mac Allister for grimacing a little if he caught goalscorer Burn’s post-match comments.

The defender – standing at 6’ 7” to the Argentine midfielder’s diminutive 5’ 9” – admitted he took advantage of his opponent’s failure to keep his eye on the ball.

“I knew that Alexis wasn’t looking at the ball, so I’d be able to get a good jump on him,” the 32-year-old told Sky Sports.

“As soon as I headed it, I knew it was in. It was just one of them.”

 

Arne Slot explains logic behind Mac Allister marking Burn

To be completely fair to our midfield technician, Arne Slot isn’t blameless for how ruthlessly Newcastle exposed this chink in our armour on Sunday afternoon.

The classy Liverpool boss did justify his rationale behind his tactics, which left Mac Allister open to being dominated by a far more physically imposing player.

“I can explain. We play zonal so we have five players zonally close to our goal, so if the ball falls there it is always one of the five stronger players that are going to attack that ball,” the Dutchman was quoted by the club’s official website.

“And we have three players that man-mark and Macca is one of them. Normally a player like Dan Burn or another one runs to the zone because normally… I think he’s an exception to that because I have never seen in my life a player from that far away heading a ball with so much force into the far corner.”

To be clear, we’re not opposed to zonal marking per se. However, surely it should have been made clear from the off that any potential situation pitting our World Cup winner against Dan Burn, a veritable behemoth of a man, would be far from ideal.

Zonal marking must still be predicated on the understanding that certain combinations of players can result in a total mismatch.

In Liverpool’s case, it was one that was brutally exposed, paving the way for Newcastle to snatch another trophy from our grasp.

    NEWCASTLE pulled off a stunning 2-1 Carabao Cup final victory over Wembley at Liverpool to win their first domestic trophy in 70 years.

    And given the Magpies‘ dismal record in cup competitions spanning decades, few gave them much of a chance at all of overcoming the Premier League leaders at Wembley.

    Dan Burn netted a headed goal as the Wealdstone Raider predicted[/caption]

    Few, that is, except 59-year-old Gordon Hill, better known as the Wealdstone Raider.

    The non-league superfan was seen donning a Newcastle shirt as he was interviewed ahead of the big match.

    And when asked what the score would be, he said: “2-1 Newcastle.”

    He was then asked who the first goalscorer would be and incredible responded: “You know what, I think Dan Burn to celebrate the England call-up.

    “Well done for that Dan, you deserve it. Header, boom, straight in there.”

    And on 45 minutes, Burn did exactly what the Wealdstone Raider said he would do.

    Attacking a corner, the defender got to the ball first and coolly headed into Caoimhin Kelleher’s bottom right hand corner.

    Burn, who has just been called up to the England squad for the first time, has scored just seven goals in his four seasons on Tyneside.

    And this goal was his first of the current season.

    Alexander Isak would then add a second goal after half time before Federico Chiesa pulled one back late on to make the final score exactly the 2-1 Toon victory that the Wealdstone Raider had predicted.

    After the match, boss Eddie Howe joked that Dan Burn hadn’t shown any signs of making a goalscoring contribution during their set piece drills in training.

    He commented: “We worked consistently for two weeks on set plays just for this game and if you had seen us in practice you would have said we had no chance.

    “We couldn’t believe Dan Burn scored – he didn’t train like that! He was a colossus for us.”

    And fans were just as surprised that the prediction had come true, with many left wondering where the Wealdstone Raider’s knowledge of future events had come from.

    One posted on X: “Wealdstone raider turned mystic Meg”

    Another wrote: “Get the Wealdstone Raider to give us his lottery numbers. Blimey.”

    And a third commented: “someone had a vision”
