McBurnie

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Sadly, I've noticed this type of thing before re injuries and mind games with United. An example is having an injured player do the press conference as the interviewed player to imply they're playing and no mention of an injury but then the player in question doesn't play. Now, it could be that they've got injured after the press conference, but I'm sceptical of that. McBurnie was one of the players I recall was missing after doing a press conference, to be honest I can't remember anymore but not sure.

Anel last week.

Anel last week.

Not sure Arsenal will be too bothered if he plays or not to be honest

 

[Booker4]

Anel last week.

Did Hecky say he did it on the Friday not sure now. Either way he was injured and did the press conference.

It carnt be… everyone said Ramsdale was a bad egg?

 

[Captain Obvious]

“Stick a few past him”! Is he winding us up?! He’ll barely get a kick. You have to laugh at his confidence, given how easy the opposition team will find it against him.

Anel last week.

You seeing him again?

I thought it was obvious Captain…….

I still wonder how McBurnie missed that opportunity against Man Utd.

For some reason I thought he was offside but I have watched nothing back.

Archer was offside if I recall correctly. Think it would have been ruled out

Snatched at it, which he has a tendency to do, especially in a drought. Hopefully gets a few more from somewhere to settle him down, he can finish I'm sure of that.

Yeah it looked like someone was offside but did a Man Utd player touch it first to play him them on?

Looks onside actually? This is where I thought the offside was.




Was Oli off from the archer rebound?

Both onside here. Top Manchester defender playing them on.

Think so...unless the ball went laterally from Archer's foot. Difficult to tell. If Archer's touch is better there we're 1-0 up.

I thought he was offside, Archer played it forward and McBurnie was in front of him in an offside position. Should still have been in the back of the net, you never know what VAR would have made of it.

I messaged neutrals watching on TV who said they thought it was onside. So I was annoyed. Your second picture suggests it would have been offside, I think.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

You’re suggesting there’s logic to VAR decisions?

Oli Mac out. Not trained, going for a scan'

Wise move of Hecky's to leave him on the pitch while injured.

 

[Deadbat]

If its took a week to send him for a scan? It was a hamstring wasn't it? Not a whack where swelling occurs and you have to wait.

I'm guessing we won't see him for a while like Anel...at least till after next break.

Groin injury.

Couldn’t make a sub ahead of the scheduled time presumably.

 

[Deadbat]

Groin injury.

Aye right. That many easy to get confused.

Still not sure why you'd need to wait?

It wasn't an impact injury so 4 or 5 days to get a scan?

I expect the 'be out for a while' next week joining Anel, Egan, Bash, Davies etc as ones we won't see for ages.

McBurnie has been one of few plusses this season but once again is constantly crocked so you can see why the club might not give him a new deal. He barely plays a run of games ever. Been the same every season. However I'd still keep him over lots of others out of contract.

With him out will be desperate stuff with the strikers we have left. None are anywhere near this level in terms of physicality, ball retention, strength and know how.

I'd play one up top on Saturday and tell Brewster/Archer they have a half each to just run around.

Getting pretty dire isnt it with all the gaps in the squad.

Saving him for wolves

Agreed, if Mcb is definitely out, than 4-5-1 becomes our only viable option really.

 

[wavy-blade]

Mcinjured yet again ffs

That scanner is earning its money. If that breaks down we are truly scuppered.
