I counted at least 5 times he passed the ball straight to the opposition in dangerous areas, i have feeling it was more than that though.Again not trying to take anything away from the good things he did. I too, noticed him throwing himself in a few challenges, one on the sideline, fortunately this time, it wasn't in a dangerous area, but it was reckless and desperate, its a shame, he hasn't got the strength/muscle to do it with composure.....His passing is good, when no one is near him. A few times he gathered balls in our area, where is was more luck than judgment....but I have no qualms with the quality on the ball, he comes out the area with. Him and John Mcginn are more suited to higher, up the pitch....no one will convince me otherwise. However, he is 23, anything can happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 14, 2021 Does anyone speak Portuguese? There's something going on on his instagram - he's currently live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 He’s been called up to the Brazil squad again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Best midfielder at the club easily. (Jack's a forward!). One plays for Brazil the other plays for Scotland. Class class player. Get a casemiro type next to him and he'll go up a level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Poor result but I think Luiz was very good today. What we need next to him next season is a strong technical player who can keep hold of the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Probably was the best of our midfield but our midfield was shocking in the second half. Maybe he needs a strong DM alongside him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 last 2 games has been better, needs better around him. Would start Nakamba next to him the next game as at least somebody close will want the ball even if its just to give back to Mings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Always rated him, class player. This is a reason I'm a little negative about the last third of the season, he has far from been at his best, along with a few other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I still like him but he is making some really weird passes and decisions lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes short receives the pass and then never has anything on except playing a difficult ball or passing it back. And defensively McGinn never tracks his runner so Luiz is often overwhelmed.

Movement, passing, vision, anticipating danger, passing the ball and then moving to receive another pass (watch McGinn he rarely does this if ever) , he's very good at intercepting the ball too. He actually can play for the full 90 minutes ,McGinn usually blows out after 30/35 (watch today's game again). I like McGinn he's a great guy good banter but he is definitely not the best midfielder at the club - Douglas Luiz is. As I said he's a first 11 Brazilian player and McGinn plays for Scotland. Only attributes I'd take of McGinn over Luiz are his tenacity and shooting. However because he lacks the stamina to produce or pace himself for 90 minutes his tenacity is wasted as he can't use this beyond a half. Nothing personal Im just commenting on his footballing ability. Even Allan ghosted behind him and left him for dead the other day. Allan! I'm bloody quicker than Allan and I'm 15 stone full of Donner kebabs and pizzas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 What I love most about his interceptions is he already reads the game and the next move to make before he does it and so his interception is usually a 1 touch pass forward instead of simply getting his foot to the ball or trapping it. Very valuable for how we play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been his biggest fan but he needs a kick up the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I do genuinely think if he wasn’t Brazilian, half of you wouldn’t rate him anywhere near as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 He's been pretty average, but he seems pretty alone in that midfield. Barkley is Barkley and McGinn has been fecking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
