McBurnie

[DronnieBlade]

Heckys recent “I will push him and push him” comments reveal an awful lot more than many will be capable of understanding .

So much better with him on the pitch.

 

[Houso]

He was outstanding and should have had an assist if Anel had put his head rather than foot on that cross.

 

[T-Blade]

Made a massive difference

 

[HarryHaslam]

Never been his biggest fan but he was excellent when he came in and we looked much better.

 

[Wireblade]

Such a difference. Can see he and Archer being a decent partnership

 

[FriethBlade]

Yep classic big man fast man partnership

 

[Gin&Juice]

Traore and Mcburnie with Archer behind at home. Osula needs a loan out, Jebbison is streets ahead.

 

[Mad Mick]

Night and day when McBurnie came on we looked like a premiership side.

 

[Wireblade]

I thought the City defence looked scared of him. When Osula was on they attacked everything but they kept dropping off McB and giving him space to bring the ball down. Maybe helped by us chasing the game at that point and having more players around him.

 

[1987]

As I said on the other thread he looked a totally different proposition to who we had on before. Maybe more of an actual premier league player you could say. We need him this season, him and Archer could be a great pairing

 

[Gin&Juice]

If we can get McAtee back we suddenly can afford to be more expansive at home and if away we can have 3 cm that can carry the ball with Archer and McBurnie to add an attacking threat.

Bar Larouci, thought our defense is once again our strong point.

Didn’t expect this after Palace. But let’s push on!

Trusty, Davies, Archer and a couple others to get some mins against Lincoln.

as many on here know im not a mcburnie fan but have to give him great credit today played very well when he came on and the cross for anel was unbelievable really showed the difference between him and osula who really needs to go out on loan to the championship think it will be mcburnie and archer for everton

 

[Berkshire Blade]

It will be him and another up top once he's fit imo

That ball to Anel was fantastic

 

[Stevo]

Thought he was great

Exactly what I was going to write.

Think McBurnie is pretty limited but he made a massive difference to us. The Man City defenders really didn’t like playing against him.

 

[Hamandcheese]

Please just stay fit, Oli

Will surprise plenty this season if he does

Everything happened for us after he came on

 

[Camden Blade]

McBurnie is actually an intelligent player. Some of his play today was sublime. Just needs to curb the 'antics'.

The ball in for Anel isn't much like anything we've seen from him before and he looked class chesting it down and holding it up. Daft as it sounds I reckon the Prem suited him better before, with centre halves more ball players and less physical he gets a bit more room. Him and Archer up front, decent couple of subs to come on, midfield looking more balanced, we at least look like a side.

 

[blader]

Just has to start if he’s fit. Paula’s work rate is incredibly admirable but currently is nowhere near the quality required.

McBurnie changed everything and the ball stuck up the end of the pitch, even more important when we have 15% possession. Wrap the lad in cotton wool!

 

[Disco_Blade]

McBurnie was awesome today.

Osula has done what he can when needed but the moment McB game on it changed things completely.

Great to see him back!

Onwards!

 

[moody1889]

Get McBurnies contract sorted McBurnie and Archer up top will be a force

McBurnie made a big difference when he came on we looked like we could score.

Now if we can do that to the worlds best team we shouldn't fear anyone else.

 

[bakeblade]

Night and day when McBurnie came on we looked like a premiership side.

I thought he should have come on at least 10 minutes earlier

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

I agree that he was excellent when he came on but it was also a different game at that point as we were attacking and we had midfielders supporting the strikers when we had the ball. Osula outnumbered and rarely supported

 

[100% part time blade]

Today was the epitome of the argument that a striker can play well and make a huge positive difference to a team performance (and almost result) without really getting anywhere near scoring himself.

 

[Revolution]

Matched the number of good games he had last time we were in this division at the first attempt.

Nice cameo. Hopefully he can do it from the start next time out.

 

[Blade56]

Thought he was great

I’d agree with that

 

[Keen Blade]

McBurnie showed us where Osula's development actually is
