Now I know I will probably gets loads of abuse for this, maybe that's fair. But all I'd say is hear me our with the points I make in my video before you say anything.

Whether you think I'm talking absolute nonsense or making a valid point. I hope you enjoy! UTB.
 

Given decent crosses he was good last season so I don’t doubt he will be this, but he does need decent crosses and we only have one or two players that can do them (occasionally)
 
I'm going to sit here for 5mins and mark this thread out of 10 on the Ryan Leonard scale.

Agree 100%, we need to lay off the lad, the service is non existent atm so no wonder he’s struggling. Hopefully the penalty for the sweaty socks will give him a much needed boost. If anyone could get the winner v whu please god let it be him.

I agree that the service had been lacking but he’s not without blame, against Fulham he had a few good chances and fluffed them and they were chances that any striker in the prem should be taking

Have you watched Kane trying to score lately ?

True, like the lad on the video said that game is very fresh in the memory still. Crucial misses at this level but other than that game he’s been feeding off scraps.
 
Oft said to miss chances at this level-criminal and inevitably leads to losing. With our style we need to try and get in front and hold onto the lead. McDisgrace looks like he's got boots on wrong feet and runs like someone that can't run never mind take chances.

To mention him in the same breath as Kane is outrageous, one is a genuine world class talent the other would look seriously look at home playing for Scunny.

If we play anything like we did against Chelsea then he won't have a sniff! We live in hope though.

Baldock sadly looks as if he lost a lot of confidence. I noticed especially against City that he overhit it, or took too long to cross it (probably due to him and lack of confidence). In terms of our left side, it looks like everyone has managed to keep them quiet, whoever plays there. That includes, the left sided midfielder too.

I do agree with that, but it was only one game. It was only two real clear cut chances too. If he has those kind of chances consistently for the next 5 games, and still no goals, then I'll hold my hands up and know I got it wrong. Considering the style and delivery we have at the moment, I don't think that's going to happen...

Maybe for a top 6 side but not for an average premier league team. That's why we bought him for less than £20 million and not +£60 million. At this level to have one chance and get a goal from it is going to require either incredible scouting, or loads of money. In terms of his play, him and Burke seem to be our only outlets his season, McBurnie with his heading ability, Burke with his pace and passing.
 
That last game for Scotland though he looked like a defender knocking the ball back to the keeper.
I'm happy with where I sit on this; he does not have the confidence to be playing up front, he should come on where we're comfortable (if such a thing will happen this season) or we're holding a lead and need that extra height in defence.
 
He needs things doing to him, but I'm not saying what things as they're bleeding evil, and if someone finds him drunk ont floor in town and does em to him, I'll feel awful.
 
That’s why i get annoyed at Utd. The door to the vip area looks like a regular house door.
 
The problem with McBurnie is he was bought here to score goals as we needed good strikers for our first prem campaign in years.

Moose showed quality with his goals and we were looking hot as but once McBurnie started playing we seemed to lose our brilliant style of play which gave us goals. We seemed to love crossing it high and the long direct ball really came in.

I just think he was a waste of money and has cost us getting better players in.
 
Until the left side of defense and midfield are sorted out I don't think it's fair to criticise any of our attackers. I know McBurnie's ball control looks poor at times but he needs to be on the end of a few decent centres pulled back from the by line, the type we used to see in the rise from league 1 and through the championship. Of course we're up against better defences now, and with both Fleck (playing well) and O'Connell missing I don't know when better service will return.
