Newcastle’s Dan Burn on not over extending when defending/blocking shots as to cover “his half” of the goal: ✅Avoid shots through legs ✅Give the GK the near post ✅Block far post shots ✅Smaller steps make it easier to adjust or change direction

Good that I know I was right and Rooney also clarified it Twitter blamed Ramsdale for the goal

Awesome clip to back it up

Awesome clip to prove a point Great analysis of the details

@IpManFreyy I just remembered a discussion we had regarding Gabriel's defending in these situations

@SebC__ reminds me of your cucurella tweets

I disagree with him. If you wanna avoid this all together, you just go body to body with the attacker. They won't be able to generate the power and momemtum to even get the shot off. This could work if you can't get close. But as a defender your job is to get close to stop shots
