If McBurnie had Miller's goal to games ratio, he would have 3-4 goals already and we wouldn't be having this debate. In short, your comparison is pish poor.

Taylor1996 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 I thought he had a good 2nd half against Chelsea. Almost Scored. As far as Kenny Miller goes. Him, Naismith, Steven Fletcher and even Chris Martin were the victims of of us playing one up top. All of them wouldn't thrived in a duo.

I think he's referring more to the abuse Kenny Miller used to get on here in the early part of his international career. I remember it really annoying me and feeling it was a bit unfair no matter what his ability was like at the time. Much the same as the way McBurnie is talked about now, although it is starting to appear that the negative comments might be right but you never know....................................

I believe he is comparing McBurnie to Miller in terms of ability. I do agree that McBurnie is getting an unfair amount of abuse (from myself included!). He really shouldn't be getting called up based on his current form and therefore some of the blame lies with Clarke. If he does play at any point over the next two games then he really needs to show something otherwise the abuse will continue on football forums until such time as (quite rightly) he is dropped.

Even I wouldn't pick McBurnie on current form and I'm his biggest fan on here. Only problem is he is our only option to Dykes unless we completely change our game plan. Adams and Nisbet won't win the ball in the air often enough for us to continue hoofing it up the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him play for Sheffield Utd. Based on Scotland performances, he doesn't win very much in the air and therefore if that is his sole contribution we are far better playing someone who has other attributes to offer. I would though like to see Dykes and Adams both start and see how that looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 There's a clip doing the rounds on Twitter of McBurnie being sent flying by a Chelsea defender (Rudiger, I think) that's probably going to be this year's 'Alan Hutton falling on his face' meme.

You need players that you can trust, and McBurnie has more than earned his stripes, by playing 33 matches for Scotlsnd, from youth level. As opposed to to Adams who has sneaked in the backdoor. What makes it worse is he's scored 11 goals in 77 Southampton matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine they will want him out the door and off the wage bill might be tricky ask though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen most of their matches this season, fhey've been incredibly unlucky with injuries and whatnot. Why? He'll easily get into double figures in the Championship. His previous season in that league, he got 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor1996 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 And as far as the video that's going around. We don't know the context. For all we know the phone guy was following McBurnie for 10 minutes, badgering him. Everyone has a breaking point. Completely non story.
