AVTuco Posted August 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2022 Please Stevie have mercy on McGinn ... he doesn't want to be captain, it's not him. He's lost, and it affects his performances too. Give it back to Tyrone Stevie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 he isn't going to tell the press "I think the gaffer's tactics are out of order and it's causing us to lose time and time again" though is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The reality is he's been pretty bad for a long time now. There were odd flashes last season, but he basically hasn't been consistently good since the start of 20/21 and it's too long. Really he should be dropped with the medium-term goal of selling him, but unaccountably Gerrard chose to make him captain so now we have to suffer his terrible performances every single game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) My thoughts on McGinn on exactly the same as those I held for El Ghazi. Huge part of our turnaround and guys we should always have fond memories of. Neither are good enough for the PL. Id prefer If McGinn left now so like AEG we can remember the good times, I’d hate for it to turn sour because he is one of the good guys, but if he continues to be a guaranteed starter I fear it will only end in uncomfortably.

KentVillan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Not nice to see people turning on him like this. Has been a brilliant player for us these last few years, but he has massive technical deficiencies and has hit a ceiling. Plus I think his tendency to put on weight in the off season is starting to catch up with him as he ages. We probably wouldn’t be having these conversations if he was being used sensibly as a squad player. Or if we’d cashed in on him when his stock was high (always difficult to sell a popular player though). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) One thing I realise watching him is the reason he is always using his body to shield the ball is that his touch isn’t good enough to create space for the pass. He gets the ball, gets it stuck under his feet, and then he goes into shielding mode, desperately looking around for someone to pass to. A really good CM is aware of who he wants to pass to as he receives the ball, puts it into space with his first touch and then passes with his second touch. Ideally being able to do this off either foot. I wouldn’t be surprised if other teams specifically target him with their press, because you know he’s going to take several touches and that’s when you can crowd a player and close off all the passing angles. Maybe he benefited from having Grealish here, who was often being patrolled by two or three players and gave McGinn a bit more time and space on the ball. When he’s facing the opposition goal and has a bit of space, he is often a very good passer. Edited August 31, 2022 by KentVillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
