abdulaziz1 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 He was unbelievable today. Fantastic performance. A lot to take from this match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 He was on good form today for sure. In typical McGinn fashion, SJM could be Sublime John McGinn or Sloppy John McGinn. He’s just as capable of passing the ball out of play as he is threading the perfect curling through ball. His pressing, energy and attacking threat is great to see, I can forgive his occasional lack of focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thought he was off it for the first 5 minutes, then he was everywhere and the best midfielder on the pitch in very accomplished company. He energy and endeavour was excellent. I just watched his post match interview, he is very focused and more mature, I think he is going to have a big season.

Stevo985 Posted September 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2021 He was great today. Final ball left a little to be desired at times but fantastic energy. First half we won so many turnovers in the midfield and he was a big reason for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Played well today, and created a golden chance for Watkins out of nothing by winning the ball back and playing him in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 73% accuracy today but 4 key passes and numerous turnovers - although twatwell defended well for Chelsea with his whistle the knob. If he can operate around the 80-82% accuracy then his game becomes even more dangerous. I wanted him to nut twatwell at the end too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Said so many times and il say it again that one main reason McGinn failed was because everything ran through the traitor that left the club. McGinn couldn't himself breathe and find and room to shine and I felt he was very restricted because it was Give Grealish the ball. That's no longer a thing and were now seeing McGinn return to the player we seen when Grealish was in fact out of the team which is fantastic. I hope he keeps on rising, maybe City will end up paying 100 mill for him down the line lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Says all the right things. Great attitude toward our club as always. Pleased he’s finally getting back to his best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Much better yesterday - he needs to show that level of effort every game. We've got more options in CM now with Sanson back, Jacob and Carney both pushing for a first team place, and I think the increased pressure from the competition has been good for him.

foreveryoung Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 That's a disgrace, shoulda let a few of the Villa fans get hold of them. I would have been extremely embarrassed and would have had to say something if that was our fans and I was in the crowd with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about football that makes grown men behave like this? The guy sound about 50 years old. I remember when the corner was being taken on the other side a guy was just doing the rocket polisher gesture over and over and it's like...why man? It's just a game of football. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will sound snobby but its class and upbringing, probably born to awful parents in an absolute shit tip and just never learnt how to be a proper human being.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Can someone give me a quick run down of what Scottish " sectarianism " or whatever entails? What were the chants about? I only heard rocket polisher. I knew there was a Celtic/Rangers thing but not much else about these kinds of things with Scotland.

McGinn was called a "Fenian word removed" because of his association with Celtic, which is a religious slur against Irish Catholics in Scotland.
