It's like he knew he's good, was playing with his co** hanging out and he was waving it about telling everyone I'm the man. Class.

AVFCDAN Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Something happened during lockdown that totally changed his confidence, the way he's playing at the moment he's basically first on the teamsheet. Its looking good that the spine of our team are also first on the team sheet, Mings/Luiz/Grealish/Watkins closely followed by McGinn and Konsa. We're finally getting some stability even with these signings that are coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 We saw him get a couple of goals last season. I’d like to think he could get 5-8 this year, as he grows in confidence. In no way disrespecting what McGinn brings to us, I’d love to see him next to a box to box player like Nabby Keita (as an example) with Jack in attacking central role ahead of him.

Move him to midfield Right back who can attack? Make him a winger Winger who can score goals? Make him a striker I know players can occasionally move positions. But usually if a player is playing well in a position, there's a reason for it And then, when a manager plays someone out of position they complain about him trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Douglas Luiz is a DM, and that's it. He and Grealish and maybe McGinn can be a hell of a midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Some times the hot next player ends up being a flop. With Luiz he has exceeded my expectations. A different kind of player to Casemiro but I think he could be as valuable eventually. Edited September 16, 2020 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this. You could see he had bags of talent from his first few minutes v Spurs. Some players just have something about them and he was one of them. That’s why I was so surprised he got written off throughout the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Box to Box only has to be better than Hourihane. I'm not even sure we can afford a DM better than Douglas at the moment. We can't. There can only be a handful better than him in world football, and we ain't getting that lucky twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should remain a no.6 for this season and we should plan the team around that. He could certainly do a job to a high standard as a no.8/10, but why mess with him? You've only just got him going. Some people just want to watch the world burn.gif 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
