It's just that his flaws get's highlighted more under such a rookie of a manager. McGinn will never be better than a squad player. Question is just how long it will take for the club to realize it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see them more involved though. Nakamba can't pass a ball. Sanson was the best presser in the French league basically and Luiz has played CDM the last 3 seasons. Get some players who can actually pass and move on the pitch and maybe will possession be even. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that about Sanson. But I'm not sure we get the best out of Luiz as a CDM. Although neither are going to be worse than McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I genuinely thought this season McGinn would be an impact sub and would be happy with that quality coming off the bench. However, with the armband entrusted to him, he’s going to play every game. Nothing against McGinn but giving him the captaincy was an atrocious decision.

M_Afro Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The thing is. With our chosen formation and especially away from home John (and JJ) should only play as one of the 10’s. We need a solid midfield, ie Bouba and two more and then one of Phil/Emi, one of John/JJ and Ollie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Making him captain probably the biggest red flag gerrard has provided. Whether he plays or not it makes gerrard look like a fool 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 He keeps persisting with McGinn and JJ in a 3 It DOES NOT WORK! They are the worst in Europe for pass completion! No wonder our midfield gets cut through like a hot knife through butter. Gerrard is just stubborn! Should be Boubs and Luiz at the bare minimum! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shadow of himself at the moment. 3 or 4 games on bench, coming on later, might actually do him power of good. Been this way for over two years....one decent game in ten. Completely out of his depth in the PL, should be a squad player for Villa at best. McGinn is holding us back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 giving the captaincy to one of the worst players in our squad. just madness. i dont see any way back from it, i think this is going to be a millstone around Gerrard's neck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Don't disagree MaVilla Never thought he was as good as some on here thought 2 years ago, but hes not as bad as some of the knowitalls are implying now. For me the only good midfielder at the club is Kamara, JJ probably will be, as will Tim, the rest are all a bit meh to me. SG never recruited one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks to turn with the hip or play the big switch. Once both those options aren't available he plays a negative or sideways pass. Love the guy for everything he has done but we desperately need to move on. Go watch the highlights of our promotion season. If it wasn't for the face you wouldn't even know you were looking at the same player. He is a shell of that player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 For where we want to be (challenging for top 6/8) he's a squad player, yet bizarrely we've decided to build our team around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
