The problem is he'll win the aerial duel and the ball will just land at the opposition's feet.

Therefore it wouldn't surprise me if teams allowed him to win it and not fully challenge.
 
By the way, are people still of the view that it doesn’t matter if the forwards don’t score and we shouldn’t regard it as their job to score, or have people now come to their senses and realised the rest of the team carried the forwards last season?

Yeah but if we were not scoring from midfield and wing back then you would be moaning at them players and saying if it wasn't for the strikers blah blah. It's a team game and we got goals from most positions except the CB's to say the team carried the strikers is laughable. McBurnies off field antics haven't helped him but he has been one of the scapegoats United fans love to have. The abuse he gets is way over the top and unwarranted and that is not supporting United, far from it.

Well in that scenario the strikers would be doing their jobs.

As for McBurnie, he really needs to be dropped/rested, call it what you will. He’s in a slump (and wasn’t that good to begin with) and there are others more deserving of a start imho.
 



Disappointed with the abuse he's getting, I know people are upset and in some cases angry but while he's wearing the striped shirt I think we should support him only my opinion mind.
He’s working hard, and nowt is coming off for him. Just seen on Twitter that awful shef u YouTuber getting into it with people about him.

Really hope McB gets through this as there’s def a player there
 
He’s been one of our better players this season he’s done everything bar score
The ones slagging him off aren't exactly people with opinions that can be taken in any way seriously. Best to just hear it, smell it, be mildly discomfited by it for a few seconds & then let it harmlessly dissipate into nothingness like a pungent fart.
 
I want to agree with Didzy as hes a professional footballer who plays in the same team as McBurnie, so you’d think he’d be well placed to offer his view...

But loads of people on here say he’s shit so I guess they must be right.

Yes, I’m stunned that a teammate of McBurnie’s is praising him in the club’s social media posts.
 
Mcburnie is an odd one

he’s sometimes and 8/9 out of 10 and sometimes a 5. To be expected since he’s still fairly young. Abusing him is so counterproductive it’s unreal - in what world is it gonna make him play any better.

But he’s scored against decent sides (man u, Leicester, Spurs & Chelsea). Proving he can do the business against good opponents. But he does need to score more - no point pretending otherwise.

We can carry one maybe two strikers that aren’t prolific and need a ton of chances to score - but we can’t have a 6 of them.

it really is as simple as he needs to take his chances when they come.
 
Has Wilder done an interview today, or have I missed something?
 
Hes missed one sitter all season IMO the header against leeds
I had a conversation on WhatsApp about the latest craze.."clear cut chances". Using a bar of 0.3 xG as a "clear cut chance" McBurnie has missed four and the frustrating thing is that none of these has resulted in a brilliant save (ie the PSxG was lower than the xG)
  • Header vs Fulham* 0.40 xG
  • Left footed shot against Liverpool* 0.32 xG
  • Right footed shot against West Ham 0.38 xG (nb not the shot off the bar, that was 0.28 xG)
  • Left footed shot against West Brom 0.47 xG
*The Fulham header and the Liverpool shot were probably offside and would therefore have been disallowed by VAR.
 
Though this was interesting

and certainly matches my eye test. Decent in the air, not a good finisher.

imo if we are playing him it needs to be with someone else who can actually finish. Maybe that’s Brewster in time who knows

Im no XG nerd but I’m not sure there accurate XG the leftfooted shot was near the edge of the area and the keeeper had everything covered no way was that an XG of 0.5 not a chance
