Yet there will still be some that have McBurnie in their squad 23. Don't know what you're on about he glided across that field tonight like a baby deer with brain damage pumped full of ketamine -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Another 3/10 display for McBurnie and 0 goals or assists? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54948356 But according to[mention=79846]G51[/mention] assists and goals aren't important and expected for strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 he scored seven times. in sixty-two games.How many assists?Remember King Kenny scored 30 in 102games, not a brilliant ratio but saw him with a lot of assists 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember King Kenny scored 30 in 102games, not a brilliant ratio but saw him with a lot of assists i have no idea, but given he had about half the number of assists as he had goals in his career (54 assists compared to 110 goals) and he had zero assists in 21 games for england at major tournaments, it's safe to say it wasn't a lot! i don't think they recorded assists when dalglish was playing. point is, judging mcburnie on the basis of how many goals he scores is stupid, because that's not his job! if you want to judge someone on their goal return, judge the guy whos job is actually putting the ball in the back of the net (hint: this isn't always the striker) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let pretend that the world is flat and there's some kind of logic behind this shite and look at goals added then. This idea that although McBurnie plays furthest forward and contributes absolutely nothing that miraculously this allows the team to score goals. The McBurnie results. Scotland 0 v 1 Costa Rica Hungary 0 v 1 Scotland Peru 2 v 0 Scotland Mexico 1 v 0 Scotland Israel 2 v 1 Scotland Scotland 1 v 3 Portugal Kazakhstan 3 v 0 Scotland Scotland 1 v 2 Russia Cyprus 1 v 2 Scotland Scotland 0 v 0 Israel Scotland 1 v 0 Slovakia Scotland 1 v 0 Czech Rep Serbia 1 v 1 Scotland Slovakia 1 v 0 Scotland Israel 1 v 0 Scotland Played 15 Goals scored 9 Goals per game 0.6 McBurnie goals 0 Assists 0. lyndon dykes doesn't even play furthest forward for scotland, never mind oli mcburnie. and of those 15 games, mcburnie was actually on the pitch for 731 minutes, which is what, 8 games? aren't you the guy who told me last week that kemar roofe was shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 McBurnie played pretty well generally yesterday, but he's extremely low on confidence in front of goal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 @G51.You genuinely seem like a decent poster but I really think a forward (which McBurnie is) should have a least one goal or one assist in 15 games.He's not good enough I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the two games in October when they played together, Fraser's average position was further forward than Dykes - quite a bit further forward in the Slovakia game. Scotland 1-0 Czechia: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1457176/MatchReport/International-UEFA-Nations-League-B-2020-2021-Scotland-Czech-Republic Scotland 1-0 Slovakia: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1457175/MatchReport/International-UEFA-Nations-League-B-2020-2021-Scotland-Slovakia It's an interesting feature of the change we make with Fraser over Christie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ball is out wide with a chance to swing it in dykes will be the furthest forward. Looking to get on the end of it and score. Which is not his only job on the pitch. But its certainly the most important one. Same goes for mcburnie, but he can't do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
