Newcastle at best when 'us against world' - Burn

Dan Burn, the England defender for Newcastle United, returned from his post-World Cup break to a club undergoing significant changes. Manager Eddie Howe had left, and several other influential figures, including Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon, had also departed. New head coach Matthias Jaissle had brought in six new staff members, while Burn himself had been getting to know six new teammates.

Despite the uncertainty, Burn remains focused on leading Newcastle back to European football as the club's new captain. He believes that when a team plays "us against the world," they perform at their best, a mentality that has previously served them well. Burn is eager to embrace the new challenges and help the younger players adapt to the changes.

He acknowledges the team's potential and expresses his desire for them to tap into their previous intensity and dominance, even though the Premier League has altered the playing field. The new-look Newcastle United will face Liverpool at St James' Park, marking the first public appearance of the team's new lineup.
