HanoiVillan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's gone very, very sour and I think if we could get him out the door for money we should. We won't, but we should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's a real shame that a player who has been such a big part of our good memories over the past few years is being given enough rope to hang himself in a formation that doesn't work for him. I actually thought it would get to the point where the fans would cheer his substitution if it happened today so maybe it's better that it didn't. That would've been a bit of a sour taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted August 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2022 I dont hate McGinn, its really hard to hate him for his contribution since joining the club. I just dont think he is good enough and we all said at the start of the season he is the player we should be replacing Now the manager I hate, he has turned the fans against McGinn by his bullshit and making him captain when he should be a squad player. He has already ballsed up other morale in the squad and he should be the one the anger is aimed at not McGinn 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As club captain, understanding the bigger picture and leading the rest of the team? Another bad appointment by Gerrard and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just to “shake up” the team.

Chicago Villan 1974 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 He is a headless chicken ! Doesn’t even move like a footballer. Runs like he has a turd in his drawers. Captain ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 He was struggling to keep up at around the 55-60min mark. Seems to be the 1st player to get tired in the team. Then gerrard takes luiz off instead... Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If he was any good, a team like West Ham would be coming in for him. That no one has even had a sniff for a couple of seasons now, speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Caught out again yesterday only for Digne and Konsa to bail him out. The midfield is the problem because Gerrard would rather sacrifice Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never been the same since he did his ligaments v Southampton in December 2019. Easy to forget start of the season he score 3 in his first 7 games so still had the knack of getting into the box and finishing off moves. When did he last do that for us? He only scores 1-2 a season now and they tend to be strikes from outside the box. So he's not in the team for scoring goals anymore like probably Ramsey has been and he's simply not good enough in the defensive aspects. We have to give Kamara-Luiz a run of 5-6 starts together unless we're signing a new CM in next few days. McGinn I'm afraid is just getting in the way now to progress.

The Inspiration Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The fact he isn’t doing post match interviews is a joke tbh. Utterly shocking appointment as captain and rightly or wrongly his rep will go down the shitter as one of gerrards men. Complete mess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'd genuinely like to know what Gerrard sees in him. Obviously he's done a lot of good for us over the years but it's extremely weird seeing Gerrard start him week in week out when he's one of the worst performers, and even hauling off Luiz who was controlling the midfield instead of McGinn. It makes no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense. Gerrard was all action and over the pitch. I just think that's the type of midfielder he likes, covering every single blade of grass chasing the ball all over the pitch rather than just holding position strategically and circulating the ball. Plus McGinn was probably a decent guy in dressing room so I don't think there's anything more to it than that. We should've just given Martinez the armband tbh if Gerrard decided he wanted fresh voice as captain which is his right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGinn hadn't been named captain, he'd still be playing full 90 every game just like he did under Steven last season. That's the main problem, not that he's captain, that he's starting (and normally finishing) every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I've never seen a player just aimlessly jog or amble around like McGinn does. Couldn't give a toss or cannot run, either way it is inconceivable this oaf gets games, never mind starts them. He's a liability. Get rid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
