Mantis Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I really hope Gerrard has finally learned now that there's simply no place for him as a starter anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 That’s the fourth game in a row he’s been subbed. It seems to be getting earlier and earlier too; now just drop him completely please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yeah, it really sad. He's been a great player for us in his time here but to hear a huge cheer when he's getting subbed off must be hard to take. Don't know if it's the system, the position he's been asked to play, confidence or what. There is a player in there and a Premier League Player at that but he's fallen off a cliff face. I hope he finds his mojo because it would be sad for his Villa career to end like this, but he badly needs to be dropped right now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 A loan to Rangers/ Celtic might do him good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I didn't think he played badly, an improvement on his poor form of late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 needs to be dropped, for me he's 4th or 5th choice, hopefully Gerrard now sees it. Im not convinced he does tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKat Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Repeating sentiments but he can't play in the same role as JJ at the same time. If McGinn starts it's with the remit that he spends all his energy in 60 mins to be replaced by JJ or vice versa. Experimental lineup today but I want to see him back to his best and shifting people around to accommodate him is fine as long as players in better form aren't missing out. I'd like to see him come off the bench and earn his place back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He’s getting to the Hourihane stage of his time at Villa now. Saying that, theres nothing wrong with bringing his energy off the bench in certain games when needed. We all love him but its a bit sad when the crowd start to cheer when he’s called off. He must feel like he has imposter syndrome starting as captain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He's never hsd to fight for his place here. I think if he had to really fight for it, we would see a different animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adman Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Just now, rodders0223 said: He made 13 passes in an hour he was an abomination I don't think anyone played badly. What were the passing stats for everyone else in that hour? We didn't really have the ball. He made some very good blocks and interceptions and the midfield looked like it actually functioned.

HeyAnty Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I actually think McGinn has been over played the past 3 years. Think it’s catching up with him which isn’t surprising given the high tempo he plays at. A few games coming off the bench will sort him out. Fans being very disrespectful to him have short memories. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I said in the match thread, he used to be a master at the long cross, but whoever he passes to now, they have to work hard to get on it and keep the ball. He's been a good servant in the past, never great but good. I'm just not sure what he actually does good now, he ain't scoring for shit either.

villanmac Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I think he can be incredible off the bench, it would give him some confidence too. He's played non stop for how long now, even those shite little games for Scotland he's been an ever present. Give him a break and a chance to reset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
