I havent said that ive aaid take accountability and ownership by stepping up and improving. Not being consistently shit like he has been I did say shaming... poor word choice on my behalf tbh. On the accountability point, stepping up and improving is clearly what he should be doing, but he's out of form and playing poorly, if he could just flick a switch and be back in form then we wouldn't be complaining about him starting or even being the captain surely?

sne Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Feel sorry for him. He's awful atm. Quote The 27-year-old newly-appointed skipper had fewer touches than Emiliano Martínez (24 v 60), made just eight accurate passes, failed to win any of his duels (0/2) and lost possession of the ball every 2.4 touches, before finally being hooked by the manager in the 65th minute. In fact, the side finally scored their equaliser less than ten minutes after McGinn was subbed off for Coutinho, proving that the tactical change was a success. It will be disappointing for Gerrard considering the Villa boss made the decision to put his confidence and trust into the player to lead by example when he gave the captain’s armband to the midfielder at the beginning of this season, as McGinn was one of the worst performers in the team over the course of the game. https://www.footballfancast.com/aston-villa-news/aston-villa-john-mcginn-steven-gerrard-premier-league-performance-opinion-review-avfc-mcfc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I honestly can’t think of one notable performance since we got promoted, but he is maybe the energy you want to bring on with 15 minutes to go, as a squad player.

Needs a rest. Needs taking out to the team. In bad form.... No this is standard McGinn he's not fooling anyone anymore with 5 minutes of shawbuckling tackles and forward passes. He's not going enough and that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scores in a period which makes you think he score more. So he could score 2-3 and be a very good asset in the PL fantasy. That be kept in mind and we forget most of the season where he doesn’t score at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal away when we won 3 - 0. I'm sure there's more but such is the drop in form it's hard to remember. Maybe that missed easy chance against Ukraine done more harm than expected . Whatever the reason, it's a crying shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I see no reason to expect him to be anything but shit off the bench too. You need somebody with composure to see a game out, or pace and skill to try and win a game. He's neither. Offers very little or nothing and I'd rather one of the kids were playing. We need to face facts: this guy is not good enough for this league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) That pass completion stat has been the most ridiculously obvious stat affecting the whole team for too long ffs.
