Osula or McBurnie to start against Chelsea?

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

'Meanwhile, Pochettino also confirmed during his news conference on Friday that Spain goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is out until at least late December with a knee injury. Sanchez's absence opens the door for Serbia international Djordje Petrovic, signed in the summer from New England Revolution, to start in his place.'

No pace to get out from the back.

Far too easy for the Chelsea defense.

People who opted for the walk around Mcburnie =

Don't Forget The Maths – Oliver McBurnie

Data Scientist Ed Morris: If Oli McBurnie returns to the starting line-up against Chelsea he offers much more than just goals in the red and white.

Who's bothered about the goals... He offering nothing in any department at the moment

Mcburnie was truly wank today, absolutely useless

Yet they were ones in shoutbox saying he had a good first half.

For me he was totally wrong player to play against Chelsea. He was half off the pace of the game and the one chance he had to be johnny on the spot to knock it in he was miles away.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Team lacking a couple of key cogs.
Someone to hang onto the ball in midfield like maybe Berge, and someone to knock it in the net like N’diaye.

 

[BobblesBlade]

McBurnie starting laughable. Being replaced by Norwood extremely laughable

Wilder for Hecky. What’s was the point.

Fleck Norwood starting next week.

 

[HarryHaslam]

He’s an extremely poor player I don’t care what anyone says

 

[Bladesman]

Hindsight suggests sticking with Will and bring Oli on later.

 

[Pintor75]

He’s an extremely poor player I don’t care what I've nothing against him as a person, but I've said to anyone who'll listen, he's not and never will be a footballer, akwardness is all he offers

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

Maybe just me then but I thought he had a good first half, with the balls he received. Nice hold up play and some excellent passing

 

[Bladezz]

Don’t think it matters against Silva who was outstanding again.

 

[straight_outta_compton]

I honestly would try to cash in mcburnie in Jan transfer window (to rangers?) and give osula a good run.

What's happened to jebbo? Injury or contract issues?

 

[AWetFlannel]

McBurnie was poor, Osula was worse. The lad is showing he's not ready.

He did a couple of decent controls and lay offs. But let’s be honest it’s nothing special just bog standard play for any centre forward. But for every one he controls and lays off there is 5 that he just gives to the opposition, some under no pressure at all and he will just give it away straight to an opposition player. His fans completely disregard these as though they never happen and will just concentrate on the one or two passes or lay offs that come off. Same goes for headers, he won a couple of headers/flick ons but for everyone he wins he loses 5, most of the time he doesn’t bother even jumping for the header he will just bump into the defender trying to win a free kick with no attempt to win the ball. There is a lot of people who want us to evolve, progress as a team and club by getting rid of the likes of Norwood/Fleck etc but want this big lump leading our attack. Baffles me no end.

Could rangers not offer him a pre contract in Jan and have him for free 5 month later?

I’m neither a fan or a hater. Just thought that he did ok and is a different level to Osula, who I would love to succeed but needs a season in the Championship to gain some experience

 

[Lowen]

If Osula could do what McBurnie can he would start every week without question. McBurnie is the only striker at the club who can hold the ball up and compete in the air which does provide a lot for the team. That being said though we cannot continue playing without pace upfront, especially away from home where the only chances we will create are on the counter. Even at home that will still be the case in many games.

Signing a striker who can hold the ball up, is good in the air and has pace would be completely transformative for this team and is basically a must in this division, we’re the only side that doesn’t have that type of player.

 

[Slim Man]

So we’re back to hating Mcburnie again? Right. Just trying to keep up

 

[SwissBlade]

Good first half. Nothing from him second

 

[HarryHaslam]

Hate? Just people posting their honest opinions on a footballer that plays for their team. Just like they do for every player and just like you do on players.

 

[Cheesebored]

I don't know of anyone that hates Mcburnie. He's not very good that's all. Anyone that has the audacity to question his contribution is accused of scapegoating him. Now that's weird.

 

[Keen Blade]

McBurnie , Traore , Brewster , Jebbison , Osula.
Not one of whom is a regularly fit , intelligent , fully developed quality striker upon whom we can rely.
Our recruitment of strikers has been unfortunate.

 

[AWetFlannel]

I’m neither a fan or a hater. Just thought that he did ok and is a different level to Osula, who I would love to succeed but needs a season in the Championship to gain some experience

And before that he needs a season in league 1 where he actually gets a few starts. The lad miles off it unfortunately, literally not in the same league as Mcburnie (a good championship striker).

I think Mcburnie actually gets of lightly compared to the grief that Lundstram gave in the last 6 months of his contract.

The effort and desire that Mcburnie put out on the pitch today was unacceptable and disgraceful to the Sheffield United shirt.

 

[Varkanoid]

Yeah but we also need one that scores goals. Bogle laid it for him on a plate with the cross in the 6 yard box and he stood there not anticipating what was coming. Then threw his hands in the air realising what he missed.

Its not that we hate McBurnie he just isnt good enough for what we need.

McBurnie , Traore , Brewster , Jebbison , Osula.

Which is strange when not so long ago we were top heavy with strikers.

He's truly shite

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Chelsea fans think Silva is past it and can't handle anyone with an ounce of pace, an immobile cart horse like McBurnie is his bread and butter. He has a role to play but starting him today was a weird one.

 

[Guesty]

We still haven't won with McBurnie on the pitch all season.
