Mcburnie this Mcburnie that …

[Kryten]

The difference is one came on a free, low wages and comes across as a decent bloke

The other came for £20m, on big wages and comes across as a tosser

As an independent view on McB, he’s had a hand full of good games in nearly 3 seasons

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Time to cut losses imo

Fair comment to be honest.

 

[SB_90]

yes he had no service but i dont see what he has done recently that postive from a forward point of view. because everything ive praised mcburnie for recently, is the same as i would CM or CB. all his positives would be regular starter. but work rate & closing down isnt enough for a striker

you cant help but feel its like sticking Basham or Egan upfront with sharp. because you know he work hard & be important in winning headers

 

[Barney]

This fanbase at times man. Whole side was shite, in my opinion a shit team selection too. Berge should have started. But McBurnie's from Leeds, so he's the reason that Millwall scored obviously

 

[wavy-blade]

He did a hell of a lot more than billy sharp today that’s for sure

Heckys seems to like playing him in the hoof ball away games which isn’t his game

He will never succeed here if we just hoof the ball up to him Hecky seems to be another manager doing the exact same

Did he score?

 

[Mike325]

One defeat and off day and people winge.

Were more than capable of smashing forest onto nexton

I'll bet you didzy and McBurnies wages are not dissimilar. Not making excuses for him but McBurnies not had a run of games since we signed him, plus even my nan could see him partnering sharp is fucking stupid. Stick Jebbo with him a true pressing forward with pace, be a different outcome.

If you put motorised boots on McBurnie he’d still be shite

You could try dangling a carrot in front

 

[BobblesBlade]

Funny how the scoreline reads 1-0 to Millwall. Funny how McBurnie plays full game. He is just not what we want as a striker.

 

[Kelso]

It wasn’t Mcburnie’s fault , but he didn’t help his cause with his performance today.

 

[DIRTY HARRY]

But this post is all about the attention seeking wum Chingo.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

If we don't win some people must have a scapegoat.

Problem is, we don't have a huge amount of options and he is an "asset" we need to do something or we will be lacking

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Unfortunately he’s not showed much for 20 mil player and there was a fair few slung in the box today

 

[Benitachel]

The truth of it is that McBurnie is just a very poor centre forward. Nothing to do with the service of other players. Look at his record whilst playing for us. At 18 million quid Swansea we’re laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Bladeloyal]

The kid is average at best

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

It was an even game, like mid week the Ref turned shirty at the end a bit but really it's just been swings and round abouts.
We got away with one mid week, today it was their turn,, so it's heads down chaps and lets just jolly well get on with it ....

 

[spongebobblade]

Made my day? I do nothing but praise the players

Just not true. On Tuesday you said Norwood was “stinking the place out” and that Goode should never play for us again.

 

[Blad]

Norwood was stinking the place out the other night don’t you agree? You can give an opinion on how someone is playing without it being a slagging and actually hating the player and not thinking he’s good enough, you understand this don’t you? I’m a big Norwood fan but he didn’t play well the other night I think everyone agrees on that.

As for Goode, again I’ve not slagged him and actually said he was the player we were looking for, a big brute. But that tackle the other night was reckless and just plain stupid and was a needless red card and without the injury time winner would have cost us all 3 points. Soon as he got the red I said he shouldn’t play for us again in the heat of the moment, that is not slagging his ability but more his temperament. But as it stands right now for me I’d only use him as back up because he can’t be trusted to not make stupid rash challenges going by his debut.

Nobody gives a flying fuck where he’s from, what a ridiculous notion and entirely typical of the bullshit put forward by some one here to excuse his consistently poor performances.

The criticism he receives is entirely down to his very limited footballing ability and more so, his lack of effort.
Whenever he plays we have next to no goal threat and the likes of you and others will remark how poor Sharp was too, in order to detract the attention away from McBurnie. What you don't seem to see is that a striker like Sharp needs a strike partner who is mobile and creates space, whilst occupying the attention of some of the oppositions defence. Look how we played with MGW and Sharp partnership, high energy fast movement creates space, which Sharp can exploit.

Like it or not McBurnie rarely breaks out of a jog, hardly ever runs off the shoulder of a defender or takes the ball on the half turn, I really wouldn’t be surprised to see pigeons landing on him mid game, he’s so fucking immobile. You could partner him with Harry Kane and you’d be saying ‘Well what did Kane do all game?’

Then we have the old defensive headers line, as people clutch at straws to find some benefit in selecting him? Well we all saw some great long throws put into their six yard box this afternoon and McBurnie didn’t get his head on one and I’m afraid it’s in their penalty area where he needs to prove his worth.

By all accounts McBurnie is a very pleasant, lovely lad, but is also easily led and gravitates toward disruptive influences. I think we have all seen the consequences of his poor judgement due to his off field dilemmas. It seems to me, that since his huge transfer fee and improved contract, that he’s taken his eye off his career as a footballer. I don’t think his lifestyle choices give him the base from which to be anywhere near the top of his profession, exactly like Mousett, who incidentally, was rightly condemned.

I’ll openly admit I never wanted us to sign him, but anyone who says, hand on heart, that he is fit or gives absolutely everything he possibly can every time he pulls on a Sheffield United shirt, must have their eyes painted on. I can guarantee that his career is only going in one direction and tbh I don’t think he’ll really care

 

[Tom Bott]

Hmm maybe if we hadn't tinkered with the midfield it might have been a different story

Anyone notice the ice pack on MGW leg after the Blackburn game ?

 

[Grumps]

Yes I cannot disagree with that one bit, I just would like to see Mctits do well in a Blades shirt as you can see he hasnt given up.

Has he started?

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Many differing opinions on McB but for me the main problem is that he can’t kick the ball properly, head it properly or run properly and is completely and utterly shite.

 

[Nagima]

So while some people think fans are being to harsh in criticising some of our big money transfers. I prefer to keep a balanced view.
Brewster and Berge have finally shown some bit of improvement. Brewster still has a long way to go. A couple of good games doesn't mean that they are the level of performance required. I evaluate what is happening over the season and seasons. McBurnie just has not performed for the club. For what ever reason.

The one point I will make is how long do we think a player should be at a club before we should expect consistent performances at a decent level. Because with all three it is 2 to 3 years. Yes i know that there has been some injuries but for some reason when they have played can we say they have been consistently at the level required.?

If that’s your answer to “I do nothing but praise the players” God help them when you really slag them off then.

Heckys seems to like playing him in the hoof ball away games which isn’t his game

He will never succeed here if we just hoof the ball up to him Hecky seems to be another manager doing the exact same

Playing the post, not the poster here. That is utter bollocks.

What stinking the place out is too harsh? Blimey, fair enough in that case literally anything negative towards a player would be slagging them in your eyes, get a grip soft lad.

I don’t slag the players, there is a few players I don’t think they are good enough but they do a job from time to time so even though I don’t think they are good enough I don’t slag them or even say who they are, if I give an opinion on players on a certain game it’s just an opinion on that specific game and not them as a player in general, ill give you an example, thought Foderingham was a bit shakey today, not watched it back but thought he could have come for the cross, fumbled a shot to which they nearly scored from, see that’s the sort of thing you would take as slagging, it’s not it’s just my opinion on todays game, Foderingham has been amazing for us and looking like a great signing for us. See I can give a opinion but still love the player, bit like Norwood stinking the place out the other night, love the bloke though.

But with your boy McB yeah hands up I slag him, because he’s beyond shite, useless. His fanboys on here don’t take it well though. Chin up eh your boy is bound to score at some point so I’ll wait for your posts wanking him off.

Why ‘my boy’? Have I said I’m a McB fan or does that just suit your argument to include that? You keep altering it from “I only praise players” to “I don’t slag them off”. There’s a difference and you know it.
But hey if it suits your argument and makes you feel better you go for it

I think “stinking the place out” is a bit more than an opinion, it’s a hysterical overreaction.

Charlie Goode has played 175 league games, that was his first red card. It was stupid, he’s said that. I think he’ll learn from it, you’d prefer to write him off, which might appear like a hysterical overreaction. Each to his own.

It’s not an over reaction at all, we all talk differently, someone stinking the place out is me saying he is playing poorly, he was wasn’t he? Think the majority thought he was poor and should have been subbed, it’s an opinion on a game but if he is poor again I will say exactly that instead of saying it how is normally say it like stinking the place out as that seems very harsh lol.

As for Goode I have not written him off but he has shown he can lose the head, we are resting players so we don’t have a weakened side on the pitch, can we trust Goode not to lose the head again and leave us with a weakened side, I.e ten men? Who knows it’s risky as we chase the play offs so personally I think he should be used as back up, tbh I think Hecky has him down as back up anyway, he looks a decent enough player so I’m sure he will do a good job if he can calm it down.

Blimey this is hard work to get it across, I stick up for the players, Brewster, Berge, Mousett, McGoldrick etc etc you know players that have gone through tough times and proper slagged to fuck on here, I’ve always stuck up for them and praised them from way back. BUT when it’s match day I will give an opinion on the match, it’s not slagging and yes it’s not praise at times if that makes you happy, Berge is the best player at the club, love him and I’ve always said it, but you know the next game if he is playing poorly I will say in that particular game he is playing poorly and maybe wants hooking, that’s just my opinion on the game, it’s not slagging him, but if you want to stick to that’s not praise, fair enough have that point.

I assumed you were a McB fanboy because you got your fanny in a twist for some reason.
