McBurnie yesterday

[Yogi]

Showed real signs of life tonight looked instinctive and dangerous at times making good runs in the 6 yard box. More of that will do nicely.

Agree been very good,awkward, good movement couple of efforts on goal only a very good save prevented his first goal since 1986

You’re going to need to go into witness protection with this POV round these parts

I’ve been disappointed with him last year but he’s done what’s required of him tonight and it would be churlish to deny it.

 

[Drunk blade]

Best I've seen him play in a while to be fair, why he doesn't just belt the first chance is beyond me tho, 8 yards out, loads of time, smash the ball and there's a 90% chance you score

Good effort with the 2nd drew a great save from Sunderlands keeper who was excellent all night

 

[Bristol Blade]

His best performance since the first Premier League season. Cracking save by their keeper to deny him a goal.

More of that Oli Mc

 

[shorehamview]

Credit to him, he wasn’t shite tonight by a long way. Could have scored too. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope after all?

 

[LewishamBlade]

More like it Oliver. So unlucky not to get one tonight. It’s coming, and when it does they’ll need a new roof on Kop.

Hopefully keep people off his back for absolutely no reason, until Saturday anyway.

 

[Headshrinker]

Yeah, he was good today. Still can't score goals though. Hopefully it will come soon.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Now that’s the OliMcB I remember who started that first season for us, played well when he come on and very unlucky not to score

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

two reasonable attempts, both missed, nearly cost us a goal and a stupid booking.....again. better than usual, but still a liability imo. Not a moaner, but really not a £20 million asset to the team.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Looks hungry, strong, agile. Just needs minutes and a goal and we'll be away. GLTTL

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Doesn't matter what he does, same fucking dead heads will be on spouting the same fucking bullshit. Football fans with an agenda, they know fuck all about football but they'll bore you fucking shitless with their inane, worthless opinions.

don't think blocking the keeper was a stupid booking at all, his distribution was excellent.

I would argue his booking was intentional. He immediately laughed about it and stopped a potentially quick break against us.

Like I've said on another thread, I hope his new role isn't to come on for the last 10 and just shithouse, simply because I think he is better than that.

 

[Iceybabey]

Looked hungry out there today, fair play to the lad.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Not a fan of the mocking chants towards him. I don't think we have many strikers who could have got that shot off he did which led to two corners in injury time + taking a yellow to waste time and win a key header that then brought a foul.

 

[CPB]

Not getting carried away but tonight was a little glimpse of a mcburnie we should see more.
Made himself a handful, got on the end of balls he nearly shouldn't do and nearly scored. He looked a bit like the mcburnie of Swansea 3 years ago. Nearly. Certainly should be no moans from tonight's performance.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Credit where credits due. He was good tonite looked at the races more of that an a few goals to boot an you may get more praise son, well done

 

[mattbianco1]

stupid booking

Joke, right?

That's what's called a clever/professional foul.

 

[bartman]

How did he nearly cost us a goal ? Also, he took one for the team with the booking as they were looking to. Reak.
Not a moaner ? If you say so

 

[lakedistblade]

Not a fan of the mocking chants towards him.

100% agree. It’s not bad emough we are the cursed Blades, coping with injuries and ref decisions but now our supporters are sledging our own player back 15 min from longterm injury . All very hilarious for those involved and farcically, pathetically, self defeating. Leave it until the match is over you daft twats.

 

[Sean Thornton]

No idea what all of that means. Oliver McBurnie found himself with a man six yards out, and left him stood all alone to score a goal. If you can't see that was the wrong decision then I don't know what else to say.

Your statement that players don’t mark the same opposition player at each set piece?

You’ve probably said too much already.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I'm struggling to think of a player I've ever wanted to succeed more tbh

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Maybe drop the 'Porter' song for me, get the Jesus Christ back up and running

 

[metalblade]

Now that's the Oli McBurnie what terrorised Championship defences for Swansea anyone moaning about him tonight is no Blade.

 

[BLADES1988]

Looked a threat, was winding their lot up, did a shithouse foul. You'll do for me you big streak of piss. Now just gerra bluddeh goyal

 

[Vass Borbokis]

Played well tonight. Well done Oli.
First shot was stuck under his feet. In hindsight should have took another touch then hit it but clearly just wanted to get a shot away.

Second attempt was a good one which the keeper got down to really well.
Also very close to getting on the end of a cross from the left (think it was from Lowe) by making the correct run at the right time which he's been guilty of not doing previously.
Definite signs of improvement, hopefully that'll keep happening if he can actually stay fit.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I was at a wedding that day (not mine) and had the commentary on the radio in one earphone during the service. It was hard to hear it properly but I remember hearing Deano ‘scoring’ and telling my dad that we’d won.

You musta bin double disappointed to hear the truth cos of the opponents like?
