Popular Post WHY Posted February 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2023 Comfortably MOTM today, would be great to have SJM back to his best. He’s a great bloke off the pitch, got time for everyone. Shame a few idiots turned on him when he needed us most. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 8 minutes ago, Keyblade said: I love how he's become a solid dependable player who comes in and does an admirable job when called upon, instead of the undroppable lynchpin of our midfield that he was earlier this season. It suits him to a tee. To be fair Gerrard played him, it’s just that Gerrards tactics were terrible and rendered McGin as about as useful as a potato. We knew he could play, and Emery is allowing him to do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Has been very good since Emery came in. Has almost cut out the Hollywood balls that aimlessly drift out . He’s now more selective with his forward passes and that makes them unpredictable for the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Different player since he had his hair shaved - he has three distinct lumps on the back of his head - it's all down to them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 He's a lot more considerate and deliberate with his passing under Emery. It seemed like under Gerrard he was constantly trying to play the Hollywood pass, resulting in giving possession away more often than not. Maybe he felt under pressure to produce that bit of magic Gerrard constantly needed, in lieu of having any managerial ability. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Fair play, his best game since as far as I can remember... I think Emery is getting a response from McGinn, he should be improving his game under a quality manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 He really was class today though. A very very good squad player IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 He has played alot of football since he came back from his bad ankle injury. Played every game for Scotland i think and always nearly all the game. The last 3 months have been the first time he hasnt been an automatic first choice and there hasnt been internationals. Might have done him good to relax a little and learn about what Emery wants from him rather than game/ rest/ game / rest. Back to how he was in the first 2 or 3 games under Gerrard. Playing a little within himself which makes him not play the hollywood balls and instead takes more care. Far better player like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably under instruction to switch play it’s probably the reason every manager loves him , he does what’s asked of him wether that’s right or wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
