AndyM3000 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Both him and McGinn have dropped off since Kamara got injured. They are both having to do different roles to what we want them doing and this is what happens. We are hampering two players now, it's not worth it IMO. Slot Tim in next to Luiz and see if it improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Poor performance, haven’t been too many of those from Dougie…. but… form is temporary, class is permanent and he has it in abundance. He will return and hopefully fired up to perform and overcome what is quite a big challenge for him now… and I back him to overcome it and become even better. I’m not going to lose faith in and turn on the players that are a massive part of our success and progress so far… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 Well at least he'll be like a new signing next season once Kamara is back. Misses him big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get it. I ask this genuinely. Have you been drinking tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are supporters… let’s actually support our (better) players and those that have brought us all this way… N not be shitty, petty, fickle and entitled like other fanbases… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing McGinn and Luiz on their own just doesn't work imo. Thought McGinn was very good in that RM slot protecting Konsa and moving into the pockets when we had the ball. He also knows he's only got one way to play from that RM slot, it's easier for him to use his body to battle and turn into space. He can't be doing that in front of our own CBs, it's way too risky. Likewise I haven't seen Luiz get into the box since Kamara was injured, he used to arrive on the edge and even attack the 6 yard box before and get some goals. Hasn't done that for ages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, both have been completely restricted since the loss of Kamara. Tielemans goes along way to help plug the gaps in the middle as the addition CM but without him both McGinn and Luiz look too stretched. I just think playing Rodgers, Diaby and Bailey restricts the central midfield from imposing themselves on the game. We become too maverick instead of being a more solid and balanced midfield.

I think he's been off it since the international break personally, not really any further back than that. He's still had a good few individual performances in 2024 in line with what he was doing earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd agree, with Dougie and McGinn in there, we need one more to try and get some sort of control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
