Xela Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 2 minutes ago, IrishVilla10 said: Or good enough to play a role in an area we’ve struggled in for 3+ seasons. Other fans love Mcginn because he throws himself about the pitch and does the odd turn, Saturday was a perfect example of it. I'm thinking if we do strengthen the midfield like Gerrard wants, then Kamara and new CM will play behind McGinn. An advanced role would suit him better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not exciting or foreign enough. We just need a scapegoat all the time. The guy is a good player and great lad. Seems a sensible choice for captain tbh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean? You already think we will have a poor season or that McGinn was a poor choice? If not then scapegoat for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Captain McGinn can prove everyone wrong. 2 seasons ago we wanted to stay in the league. This season we want top 8. Have you seen enough from Mcginn in the last two seasons to suggest he’s good enough to take us there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xela Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 Steve Clarke did say the more responsibility he gave McGinn, the better he performed. Some people thrive on the added pressure. Tough for Mings though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a sensible choice for captain tbh. Is it possible to criticise a player without them being called a scapegoat on here. Mcginn receives praise and criticism, I think he’s very limited and the opposite of how Gerrard says he wants us to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MotoMkali Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 He's probably our 2nd worst midfielder in competition for rotation spots (Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey and Sanson are all better imo) and he's guaranteed to start every week. Ridiculous. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn has many qualities, and should be used as part of a squad. But would you build the team around him, as Gerrard has already stated that he planned to do? I wouldn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
