KAZZAM Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Things are good we are winning and all are playing well. However he really should be scoring some goals now. Douglas putting him to shame in that department and he plays even deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 McGinn was pretty solid today but he was better in the previous couple of matches... Outshone by Luiz and Ramsey today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll come, but if he’s impacting the match without scoring it’s all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Luiz drops deep but his average position is quite high up the pitch higher than Mcginn in both of the previous matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) The biggest compliment you can pay McGinn is that we haven't missed Kamara. I think he has been excellent the last few games both in the more attacking role and in the deeper role filling in for Kamara. Great to see him back to something like his best.

wilko154 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 McGinn was very good again today, looks to be back to his best. Seems to have trimmed down a bit, and his fitness seems to have improved. Doing everything he used to do for us, turning on the ball, battling with opposition players. He's done really well filling in for Kamara. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 What is McGinn's best, most natural position? I've noticed he's played wide quite a lot of times in the middle line of a 4-3-3. But when we play a 4-2-3-1 with Kamara back, assuming it's Ramsay on the left of the 3, who's best for the right side of the 3: Buendía or McGinn?

bannedfromHandV Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 So good to see SJM back, showing solid consistency now for the first time at this level I think, cannot wait for him to belt in a goal soon, hope it comes at VP. My man of the match yesterday, absolutely bullied their entire midfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 As good as kamara has been mcginn has made sure we haven't missed him. Emery is getting the best out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 He does seem like Captain material now too, which was mental at one point under Gerrard. So glad he's back to his best, so vital to that midfield now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 He's a lot better as the deepest man in attack. Whenever he played even slightly further ahead of Luiz he basically decided to stand on our strikers toes and cramp the attack. Playing deeper let's him do some turns and use his vision to pick passes. Glad emery has reduced the number of really long passes so he's focused on shorter quicker passes.

His passing accuracy in the last 4 games is above 80% for each of those games; he hasn't hit that too often under us, usually averages around mid 70%, which is poor for a central midfielder. Unsurprisingly its helping him and the team play better. Compare that to the constant Hollywood balls he was doing under the previous manager, which 9 times out of 10 just gave the ball back to the opposition. I've been impressed with his receptiveness to Emery's methods. I knew there wouldn't be an issue in terms of the manager change, he's too good a pro for that, but i wasn't sure he had it in him to basically go against everything he's shown in his time here so far and play a more considered game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz rightfully has more licence to get forward than mcginn in emerys system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
