TheMightyVillans Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Still can't believe he is our captain. Gerrard has made many terrible decisions but this is one of his worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 On Sunday he apparently completed 10 passes in 70 minutes of football. That is mental for a central midfielder and indicative of one of the biggest issues with him which is relying on moments - which are becoming fewer and fewer by the week - and not actually being involved in games for the duration of them. Love the guy but his shortcomings are becoming harder than ever for the team to work around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcginn is a nice bloke, cant fault that, but he is currently stealing a living as a premier league midfielder! I struggle to see what he is offering, as a midfielder you need to pass the ball.... 10 passes in 70 mins is criminal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see passes completed and passes attempted per 90 for the whole squad this season. I reckon it could be damning for McGinn (moreso having a low attempted number as it would prove how little he offers himself as an option for a pass).

So... 41 for Mings (Highest) 34 for Young (3rd highest) 18 for Watkins (highest among the front 3) ... where was McGinn during all that possession/passing down our left? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No midfielders at all in the top 3. It's a damning indictment on the current coaching setup. I get McGinn isn't playing well but it seems a lot of our players are falling victim to our complete lack of tactics EDIT: I misread and thought that was the top 3 but my point still stands. Not one of our midfielders, whether they be attacking or defensive is thriving in the current system. In fact every single one of them is regressing at a rapid rate.

osmark86 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 The worst part is that we've seen McGinn do so much better in the PL. His regression is just sad right now. Gerrard is not helping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJM Posted October 20, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2022 Obviously, as my name suggests, I'm a bit biased...but is there a case to be made that Gerrard is the problem, and that along with the rest of the team, he'd be a different player under a better manager? All I'm saying is that he's been absolutely brilliant for Scotland, and there's no way he'd be phoning it in for Villa - the man, if nothing else, gives everything he's got. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
