If you go in hard with "What a load of rubbish. SB" rather than "I disagree because of x, y and z", you've surely got to expect a bit back when it turns out the opinion you rubbished matched that of the manager ?

I think it's a bit of predetermined narrative, your view on Burgess

FB


There is clear evidence from last season that he is vulnerable on the deck, balls over his shoulder on the turn and when pressurised into a pass.

He did well the other day but in my opinion he's not the player Edmundson is and over the course of a number of matches I think that would be proven.

Nice try though, I bet you had a right chuckle over that one. I especially like people using initials as an attempted dig, seems to happen a lot now and it's rather pathetic.

Did mostly okay, but as usual got to tight to his man a few times and gave away silly fouls. I think once Keogh is fit he will drop out of the regular squad to be honest.

A number of other posters said essentially the same thing but haven't been called out.

The original poster said Burgess had a left foot and thus it would be better distribution, we don't know that is why McKenna made the change (as far as I have seen) so you can't confirm that the original opinion matched the managers. He McKenna comes out and says he has better distribution then I will have been totally at odds with the managers opinion.

There was evidence about another player you didn't accept. But I guess that's different as shoes on the other foot with this.

Oh and BTW, initials... It's a form of flattery

Once again that's not true though is it.

The majority of the evidence that was posted showed Celina was a productive attacking force, both from the published assists data and the data that Joe posted.

It's was opinions and feelings that were saying he wasn't.

Surely the way Burgess played is all the evidence you need?

Maybe get behind the player rather than writing him off?

Shows how little we know, and why the manager thankfully makes the decisions.

No, he just said Burgess to come in for Edmundson and made a negative comment about Edmundson. Why McKenna chose him is irrelevant, you rubbished an opinion (Burgess in for Edmundson), so if you go in hard, expect to take some flak if it backfires. Perhaps other posters didn't go in so hard, or don't have a history of telling people their opinions are rubbish? I don't know, it doesn't make it right however many people did the same thing.

I am glad nothing further has happened yet with the power plant, and very happy to be wrong, so far. I've been a bit paranoid over nuclear war/accidents since the war broke out, as i've alluded to in previous posts.

Not sure what specifically you are referring to about the pandemic. Is it the Omicron predictions I disagreed with where hundreds of thousands were going to be hospitalised, or was it Chris Whitty I disagreed with when he said everything we know about Omicron is bad news (just before Omicron ended the pandemic phase of covid)

I miss the days when all the 'I'm not right wing, I'm not even political' trolls got weird obsessions about me.

I say 'miss'. I mean 'I don't at all miss those days but I still wonder what it is they get out of it'.

Could not wait to dive in for the ball when the forward was in front of him and back to goal, gave away far to many free kicks for me. Doesn't seem able to know when it's likely he ll get the ball or not, not first choice. When he keeps it really simple he's most effective.

So you base all your opinions off a sample size of one? That's not how to make an evidence based opinion, especially when you have a larger sample size which highlights the points I was making.

I've repeatedly said he did well yesterday but that doesn't change my underlying opinion about him or the fact I think Edmundson is better. It's not having a go at Burgess, simply saying I think he has weaknesses and is a decent reserve who will hopefully do very well for us this season but I don't think he's in Edmundson's class. This isn't a difficult opinion to understand.

Out of interest, do you like pickles?

"Felt he had negatives".

Different from providing evidence to show he had negatives. Would have loved to have seen heatmaps showing he didn't track back or kilometres run per match showing he was lazy but I don't remember seeing that evidence. I do remember a lot of feelings though and perhaps that is fine and I shouldn't look for evidence and perhaps I will embrace that in the future.

If the above was posted I would be interested in seeing it as the debate them moves on to whether an attacking midfielder should be doing those things.

Phenomenology.
 Literally, phenomenology is the study of “phenomena”: appearances of things, or things as they appear in our experience, or the ways we experience things, thus the meanings things have in our experience. Phenomenology studies conscious experience as experienced from the subjective or first person point of view.

Probably nonsense though!

I think this is the key SB. It's peoples feelings and their own opinions. The tracking back for example could vary itself between posters. Do they expect an AM to track back to our own box or just track and follow a particular player.

I don't personally remember seeing many call him lazy specifically. But I still stand by he had areas to improve off the ball which KM also picked up on and mentioned.

But personally... your thoughts on burgess are no different to many others and something I personally share with you. But the reason I've brought in the celina discussions is that you were so intent on people providing evidence when this is just a site for people to share their thoughts as you have here without the pressing need to become KM and to provide documentation to defend your personal beliefs.
