Mcburnie

[dc_blade]

Very promising again today. He’s better with the ball at his feet than he is with it being lumped up to him. Showed some nice touches and brought midfield into play.

 

[bromtom]

Fantastic today, definite improvement in his strength, as seen on the Inside Shirecliffe video, he's doing some weight work obviously.

Some good passes, good hold up, ran after everything and pressed.

 

[Upton_Blade]

I've said this before but McB will be a great addition eventually.

Not everyone can adapt to the level above straight away. Some will and some will take a bit longer whilst some never will.

He suffers, IMO, due to how well the Mousse is doing but people forget that The Mousse (even with limited game time) has played in the Prem for the last couple of years.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Looked a better bet today than Grealish.

 

[The Hobott]

Great today. First time he's looked like his transfer fee. Looking forward to more of it.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Said it several times now, but we play in a very particular way. I think we should expect a lot of the players we sign to take a good few months to settle in. If any hit the ground running then it’s a bonus and even more reason to bring some in during Jan for next year.

 

[Kevin Arnott]

I thought he looked thoughtful, skilful in the areas he played and well up for both the shirt and the battle

 

[SwissBlade]

He was class today when he came on

 

[Maidenhead]

My mate said to me today that he will grow into Mcgoldrick's replacement.

I believe him

 

[Snowman]

My mate said to me today that he will grow into Mcgoldrick's replacement.

I believe him

 

[Akinbiyi]

My mate said to me today that he will grow into Mcgoldrick's replacement.

I believe him

Agreed. To an extent

 

[Blade56]

Wanted him over maupey, then thought we had made a mistake but today he looked like he did when he played against us, fast and dangerous

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Been critical in the past but credit where credits due.....looked like a decent buy today

 

[E1Blade]

I’ve been the Moose biggest fan so far this season but today I thought McBurnie did more for us. Praying for a Didzy goal for Xmas

 

[Rusty view]

Did a good job. Chased balls down. Looked pacey. Impressed by him whien he csme on.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I've not been entirely convinced by McBurnie up to now, but he was very good today. He dropped deeper to help out off the ball more so than he has in previous games, and he started his runs away from the defence, instead of shoulder to shoulder, dragging players out of position.

If he can learn to link up and hold up the way Didsy can then he could become a goal scoring Didsy for us, and that would be some player.

 

[McGrath]

He looked a different player when he came on to his previous performances. Maybe it's just taken him time to understand Uniteds system. I was impressed!

Well done him, well done the coaches.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Dare I say he looked more 'Didsyesque' today in that he was more mobile, good with the ball at his feet and intelligently pressed.

Suppose we'll have to find another scapegoat...

 

[DronnieBlade]

OK.

Reality check.

I can’t ignore the fact that his first contribution in today’s game was to win a battle, then control the football, then complete a good pass across the pitch.

A first, as it turns out. Bravo,.

If you would prefer to delude yourself that this level of competency was continued to ANY extent thereafter ................

[CarlMcBlade]

The price tag seems to be weighing him down a little bit. If we’d paid £8/10M we’d probably be happy with his progress.

Oven is broke.Has been for a while.

Make of that what you almost certainly will .

I wouldn’t be.

He’s the fork to our bowl of soup.

 

[Houston_Blade]

From Deadbat report:

McBurnie featured in a number of moves with his hold up and clever link play and he sent two crosses just away from United’s incoming players.

Sums it up pretty well for me. A solid 7.5/10 during his time on the pitch.

Some wanted Che Adams instead of him !! Mcburnie will be a star.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Some wanted Che Adams instead of him !! Mcburnie will be a star.

Both have a lot to prove for me, unless the yellow chicken or whatever he calls himself these days says

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Looked much better than Wesley who cost more.

 

[haich1889]

how the hell are we so negative about our players after a game like that?. Wilder wept

Here here, woman behind me went off on one big time cos Norwood gave the ball away in 1st half. She was still hammering him 20 mins later & he ant put a foot wrong since.
I just don't get how anyone can take any negatives from any part of this season so far. Best league position since 1973 brilliant football & still folk aren't happy

I officially despair

 

[SWB]
