Mcburnie is such a fucking liability, he was never going to win the header and left his man unmarked 6 yards out, school boy stuff

Mistake 1 - bringing McBurnie on to defend.
Mistake 2 - Fleck turned his back on it / neshed it (pic 1)
Mistake 3 - an attack minded player trying to defend.

I hate him

 

[blade too long]

all part of the learning curve ...lots of new faces trying to find some rythym and rhyme

still a good away point yes might have been 3 but we ledon a clanger from them

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If we so desperately wanted an extra defensive header to deal with all the set pieces we planned to give them...... how about bringing a fucking DEFENDER on and going to a back 4? Even if it was Gordon...

3 mistakes in there, not just McBurnie's.

1 - Not managing to get anywhere near stopping the cross from a short corner. I haven't seen it back but I thought at the time we were slow to get two men out there.
2 - Egan losing his man so easily.
3 - McBurnie going for a ball he was never going to get.

Stopping a cross from a short corner is basic defending and would have prevented 2 & 3 ever being an issue.

I agree with Egan also, he was in prime position for the initial header but slow to react and left grasping at thin air.


Also wasn't offside as some have said, can see in bottom left hand corner of 2nd pic one of our players grappling with a Boro player.

McBurnie stays put, he heads it clear. Mind you, there's no saying the inept cunt wouldn't have missed it completely or glanced it past Wes into the top corner himself.

If McBurnie stays with his man the rest is irrelevant, its the type of defending you'd expect from a school kid playing his first game.

I don't disagree with you, but could it not also be argued that if we marked up properly for the short corner and made them pass across the pitch instead of allowing the cross then the rest would be irrelevant?

The other bits happen, leaving a man on his own stood 6 yards out is just ridiculous, it's an under 10s mistake

Ffs the scorer was McKnobs man - he left him free - if McKnob keeps getting on the pitch , somone can have my ST.
In my 55 years i have never known one player cause me enough disgust to put me off attending

 

[Davalon]

Seeing that makes it looks worse than in real time

It's not that he is crap it's because when fit they can not wait to get the wanker on the bloody pitch. All that talent on the bench more than enough to take all the points and we end with McBurnie on the bloody pitch. Some say he came on to defend well he made a right bollocks of that . He certainly did not come on to score. one every decade is more than you could wish for from him.

I remember when my dad got up and walked out of Bramall Lane when Peter Withe returned and ran out again in a United shirt. Sat the entire match listening on the radio in Cantors car park.

 

[Katzenjammer]

If anything, I'm more pissed off with their first goal. Multiple missed opportunities to close them down on the left before the ball was even played into our box, and RND (who I'm a huge admirer of) was a mere spectator in that instance.

That said, fuck McBurnie, I'm sick of the sight of him. He "plays" like somebody who has only ever heard football described but never seen it.

You forgot about LunnyCunt?

Mistake 1 - McBurnie's mum and dad meeting.
Mistake 2 - McBurnie's mum and dad getting it on.
Mistake 3 - McBurnie.

To summarise, McBurnie is the sole reason we conceded the equaliser.

Well that's not quite true. Hecky is the reason as if had been half competent today, McBurnie is never on the pitch to fuck up. I'll praise Hecky for jobs well done. Today he's fucked up. Again. Poor management decisions today have cost us.

Next time I'll make sure to put a wink emoji at the end of my post.

Give you a reason to boo him. Not seen this analysis on any other goals we’ve contended?

Baldock was too busy hugging Watmore to move up. How he keeps getting away with basically hugging attackers is beyond me.

 

[JohnDenver]

McBurnie often defends as a spare man with a licence to simply attack the ball.

Looks like a misunderstanding of roles here.

What new faces? Other than Ahmedhocvic it's players we've had for last season and beyond, so that's not really an excuse for today.

agreed. The mix up looks like Egan and ahmedhodzic who both seem to leave the goal scorer when at least one of them should be marking him.

Mcburnie is taking up a free role to attack the ball as it looks to me.

Logic and not ‘hilariously’ altering his name? It’ll never catch on.

Mistake 1 - bringing McBurnie on to defend.
Mistake 2 - Fleck turned his back on it / neshed it (pic 1)
Mistake 3 - an attack minded player trying to defend.

Mistake 4 - Having three defenders and two wing backs on the field but needing McBurnie to mark the guy who’s already scored one goal in the game.

I’m no McBurnie fan and yes he contributed little to nothing again, but he’s there to assist in defence as needed.

The fact that their goal scorer was unmarked on both of their goals is criminal.
