Newcastle United have been incredible at the back this season and they've mastered the dark arts along the way. Eddie Howe's side have surpassed any early season expectations but have looked somewhat flat and sluggish in the Premier League of late - drawing four of their last five games.
It's to be expected given the emotional and physical effort to reach the Carabao Cup final. Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Fabian Schar, Nick Pope and Dan Burn have been monstrous as a back five unit and they deserve all the plaudits they've been getting this season.
However, there is one area that the Magpies can improve in and that's with an attacking option at left-back. Burn as we know is a centre-half by trade and has been almost impeccable playing out of position at full-back.
