Made In Aston Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 13 hours ago, alexvilla4 said: The role suited him well and gave us better balance. We just need him to find his shooting boots again! As the fact he can go both ways and shoot off either foot helps make him more unpredictable when he is driving at a defence A rare bad first touch prevented him from scoring yesterday. Very frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Shock horror. Man with pace, ball carrying ability and work rate plays well on left of front 3. Honestly, I’ve been saying it for ages, he needs to play further forward. I think McGinn does too but there probably isn’t room. Where does McGinn do his best work for Scotland? Leave him out there, play Luiz and Kamara as the two, Bailey on the right and you have balance, pace and work ethic. It’s a no brainer for me.

Really good assist. Did really well to set up the move which led to his chance to. In a counter attacking team, his ability to nick the ball in those sorts of situations would be a great asset. And although he did fluff the chance, I think it wasn't the greatest pass from Watkins (needed to be a bit ahead of him) and he can finish Still doesn't give us enough width in that position I'd say, which against teams that sit back will be an issue Edited September 4, 2022 by one_ian_taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 He needs to be given more of a licence to get forward. He's wasted by having to defend the space behind Digne. I still think he'd be best as the box to box 8 and McGinn goes to the bench. Luiz and Kamara take on more of the defensive responsibility along with our RB (Ash or Cash). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It wasn't his best game but I was really impressed with his awareness for the goal. So many much more experienced players wouldn't have been composed enough to stop playing until the next phase of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The kind of player who would excel under a decent manager. If he didn't, I'm sure he would get a rest and some coaching to bring him up to the level we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I could see him getting a red card if it wasn't for the substitution. Still as a tendency to look lost at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
