Well, it is a fact that Burey didn’t score, so…Still at it, hanging in there with your theory
I never said Voglsammer scoring would have been a piece of piss, but watching a keeper coming at Burey like a steam train, it would be natural that supporters watching this unfold, would expect to see Burey square it to Voglsammer, who they can also see has made the run to be up there with Burey, should the young lad see him, and make that pass to him!And if your man Vlog never scored from the pass that you pressume was a piece of piss it would still be the wrong decision?
Naturally, had Burey squared that ball before the keeper was almost on him, we (including myself), would have applauded the lad for being intelligent and canny with his decision to play Voglsammer in! Had the German slotted the ball home, we’d have all been waxing lyrical about some lovely forward play that would have undoubtedly won us the match! Had the German missed the goal, well then I would have been spitting feathers at him instead!
I don’t know how easy or not it would have been for Burey to have made that pass under that situation. I’m not him. The lad has talent, but as a professional footballer, is it inconceivable to expect him to use his weaker foot to make an accurate pass to, or in the vicinity of Voglsammer? Possibly. We will only know if he’s put in a similar situation like that, in the future.One more time- How easy is it or how does a right footer pass to a player on his left whilst moving at speed and with a keeper coming at you like a steam train ? I ask again cause you haven't answered which is strange cause you seem to know what players should be doing at all times ( when we haven't won )
Agree with you about his last touch. You said in another post on another thread that you thought “a striker would have instinctively put the ball over the oncoming keeper.” Maybe there wasn’t enough of a gap between Burey and the oncoming keeper to allow him to do that?I believe he took the correct decision but what prevented him scoring was his last touch was a tad to heavy and to near the keeper. However, i'm still not saying that he would have scored cause it's not as simple as that or when sat at home.
Isn’t that the same for the likes of Afobe or Bradshaw? The knives come out for them often, but the only way they silence their critics is by scoring goals. Burey is going to have to forget about the boo boys, keep his head down and try and improve with each game. A lot of his criticism is that he doesn’t track back and defend - that if he doesn’t have the ball, he isn’t interested. That’s not what Wall supporters want to see. They want to see a player giving effort. He doesn’t have to be the most skilful in the team, but if he gives 110%, then we know he’s playing his heart out and for us!I actually think the player should be loaned out or sold. The knives are out for him now and unless he scores and/ or assists in each appearance he's on a hiding to nothing.
