JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Please don't give us this hope again, and then revert to shite John. This is what you are capable of. A leader by actions ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Very good. He can't play a 2 but can absolutely very much dominate in a 3. I think with Gerrard in charge and his preferred use of a midfield 3 we should see a lot more good performances from McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Good first 10 great last 10 minutes. If he didn't spend 70 minutes blowing he'd be a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVilla10 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Been saying it for time now, there’s a player there if he’s used correctly. If he had a Bissouma behind him we’d be flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He was good today but he's so one footed and when he and Nakamba play there is very little balance when on the ball. Its very easy to play against them when the tempo is low. McGinn has the ability to drive forward and pick a great pass but I sometimes wonder how good he could be if he had more confidence and ability with his weaker foot.

sidcow Posted November 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2021 Played really well today. Nearly but not quite back to his best. I reckon Gerrard will be the absolute making of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Sgame he has never played leftback as these days the only position suitable for rampaging players is the full back position. He could be our left sided Cancelo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 He was much improved because he cut out his Barry Bannan Hollywood balls. His through balls were much more deadly because they were used as a surprise tactic. Misplacing five yard passes is nothing to do with being played out of position it’s sloppiness and a lack of care and attention on the ball. I counted 7/8 simple 10 yard forward passes which set us on the front foot whereas previously he was looking for the killer pass. Brilliant.

Tomaszk Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Wake up call for him on fitness. Couldn't even celebrate our goal. Mostly solid performance. Be surprised if he doesn't play every PL minute he's fit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 He was superb first half, good second half (because I think he was tired from all the work in the first) - but we've seen games like this from him before. We know he's capable of it, he needs to do it consistently. He deserves plaudits and credit for yesterday and now he needs to build on it and kick on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I like how he was used a playmaker, he clearly has that in his locker and it's a shame Smith never used that side of his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he's played 3 games in a few days - 2 Scotland games and yesterday, and in all of them he's been perpetual motion, pretty much. But yeah he was shattered by the end. That, though is what gets players fitter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Was he twerking for the first goal on the half way line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobs Posted November 21, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2021 Still seemed to be moving pretty quick leading up to second goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Super JM yesterday bravo! I've noticed that since our return to the PL, although a lot of his goals have been typically McGinn crackers, a lot have been in defeats! That must be really annoying for him! :s And in fact the only one I can think of right now in a win was in the 7-2 and even that was a bit of a fluke as there was quite a big deflection off a Liverpool player. I hope for him that his next league goal is a match winner ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 He defo played within himself at times ( in a good way ) 15 yard passes became 10 yard passes . And then occasionally he put in unbelievable balls. That one on the right wing when he battled to get it away from their left wing back for about 5 seconds before playing a reverse pass 30 ft in the air to our left wing. I am sure Gerrard will be able to help him become slightly less rampaging and slighty more effective which lets face it will make him a brilliant player full stop for us . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many people on here even know what " twerking " is mate lmao. For the decent.... For the filthy animals... Let's hope he wasn't doing this. Let's also hope I don't get banned.
