WakefieldVillan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Apologies if I have missed it in the thread, but what are the correct lyrics we use in the super John McGinn chant? Is it... We've got McGinn, super John McGinn, I just don't think you'll understand, he's Stevey Bruce's man??, he's better than Zidane, we've got super John McGinn ?? Only seen the highlights, but sounds like he had another good game, looks to be playing further forward and nice to see him grab himself a goal, cracking signing and an absolute steal for the money we paid!

I think that's where the top midfielders are at now too, though. Pogba, Vidal, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Goretzka, Casemiro, Verratti, Modric - they've all got a broad skill set that makes them dangerous in different phases of play.

It goes without saying that he's better than Zidane at this point. Dean Smith's Bestie, better than Messi maybe. Then again, I think that understates him still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 He's in great form right now (seems to have gone up a notch since Smith took over), watching him is like watching Milner in his time here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 16 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said: You're talking about toning down his intensity which will affect his game, he's doing just fine, nitpicking over the picking up of yellow cards is needless IMO. I think I’m talking about him becoming a bit smarter, which he will need to do if he wants to progress to a higher level. One booking every 2.5 games - it’s quite a record and surely not one any manager could possibly be happy with. I’d be amazed if Dean Smith wasn't trying to temper this aspect of his game. Unlike most things on VT these days, this can’t even be blamed on Steve Bruce. He’s picked up 2 under Smith. I think he was a brilliant signing, he hit the ground running and has been good value for an awful lot of the points we have picked up this season. But he was suspended for the Norwich game and we lost. I’d rather he had been playing. In my view he is one of the best midfield signings in a very long time and he takes me back to far happier times for Villa in the 1990s and earlier. But that doesn’t exempt him from any criticism or wanting him to get even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowly catching on but whatever will be will be as with all chants. If we are correcting them “ empty seats my lord” - when we are at home - could do with being thrown in the waste bin lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gone now so any negative comments seem like wasted energy. Agree. There are a few things where it’s relevant to bring him up, or make a comparison, but an awful lot more times where it’s surely now superfluous. Also, whilst we can all find faults to a greater or lesser extent, it’s simply not true to paint him as an idiot or a malign force who only did harm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The way McgInn plays, he'll pick up bookings. I'd rather take the risk of him getting booked than dampen the way he plays tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do like a chant that crams 'to be honest' in at the end. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
