Couldn’t agree more. He offers absolutely nothing. He’s not good defensively, he not good going forward, he doesn’t win headers and his set pieces are as bad as I’ve ever seen. And I think the worst thing of all. I think he thinks he’s Fernandinho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Jesus. The dude never has any options when he receives the ball. So he is forced to go back. When players actually come short and want to play football he is central to everything we do. Probably our 4th most important player behind Mings, Martinez and Buendia. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Started our only effective forays forward, really, but was largely left to be trampled by the much larger and more aggressive Newcastle midfield. McGinn is his biggest problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 not his best game, certainly... but not helped by McGinn passing straight to Newcastle players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn is his biggest problem. Exactly. Was there a single time mcginn even came short for Luiz in that game and then did anything with the ball? It can't always be buendia or ramsey coming short. You get predictable. He actually defended well. They didn't really have any opportunities aside from a couple of saint maximan dribbles and basically no one in the division can stop him anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2022 . Our midfield looks terrible in this system be a bit unfair to single him out for any criticism but ....why does he continue to take free kicks when he hasn't scored one in 4 years, it's so frustrating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to consistently make good runs, or come short for him. As he's very good at playing short football or playing balls over the top. We just don't play to his strengths really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to pass the ball round the back and kick it long. Luiz offers nothing exceptional to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not sure if anyone has thought about this but we do have a 23yr old and 20yr old in the 3 in the middle. I think McGinn needs the biggest kick up the arse tbh because his passing has been woeful. He's running around like Trezeguet atm without doing an awful lot. Both Luiz and Ramsey are well behind McGinn as far as development go yet both are performing better than him currently imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think hes ever scored a free kick, and hasn't scored at all for a number of years. Can only assume he nails them in training? Given that a direct free kick decided today's game, we could really do with getting this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Getting a bit sick of waiting for him to reach his potential. What is he actually good at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I am not entirely sure what he is good at eg what position he may have flourish in. I know one thing he isn't certainly a defensive midfielder. To me right now he is the Brazil Steve Sidwell. Jack of all trades, master of none. Generic midfield central. Also he can't take a decent free kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
