Tomaszk Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, Rolta said: McGinn is quick. Have a look at the extended highlights from Monday—there's a moment that shows exactly how quick he is. This McGinn Twilight Zone thing doesn't make sense. As for Traoré, I don't think he really tried to run today. He was pretty leisurely. That's not a dig—I just don't think we really needed to go up the gears at all tonight. I agree McGinn is quick. It's great because the opposition never think he's going to be as quick or strong as he is. Still catching them out after a season. I was just highlighting it as I kept reading in reports and in various places he will bring "pace" to the Villa attack. Never thought that was the case, hoping to be proven wrong. He's nowhere near as fast as Watkins, and when you think of a forward, especially a winger with "pace" you're expecting some real wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 He scored? On his debut? But I thought he was supposed to be shit... At least the legion of naysayers on here, who are all apparently HUGE closeted Lyon fans, said he's useless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted September 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 Still agree that Lange should be sacked for signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not that it matters but honestly cannot tell if it was a shot or a misplaced cross, the body shape gives no clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Didn’t get out of second gear but still looked quality! I thought the goal was a cross especially after the celebrations and laugh with Lansbury but going to believe it was a superb shot if anybody asks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 At least we know he's not a donkey. He's a lot more delicate a footballer than I imagined from watching the YouTubes and listening to you lot. Good in tight spaces. And obviously physically he's all there. Bearing in mind he was playing against Bristol B team, he looks fit enough to play Premier League football, too. He'll come off the bench on Monday and he has me excited for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just echoing others but it wasn’t a pass in front of goal, it was a pass into the back of the net on his weaker foot. Bertrand didn’t get out of fist gear tonight.....he’s going to be very important to us this season.....especially if we can get someone like Sarr in on the opposite flank.

Genuine question Guess those who care about what actually took place does. If it was an intended shot his performance was automatically a lot more impressive by that action alone. If it wasn't, which I suspect, the hype around the shot is completely unwarranted. But the truth don't matter to everyone. Nothing new there.

Not sure if you've seen the clip of all his touches in one of Lyon's game earlier in the thread but it gave a completely different impression than the highlights videos. Really lived up that today.

useless Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 He definitely meant that goal before he shoots he clearly looks directly where the ball ends up going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But facts don't matter to everyone. Nothing new there. To me, it was quite clearly a side foot ball across the area. Not going for goal. But, it does show what can happen when you try to put the ball into dangerous areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of opposition accounted for, he was one of our better players and just generally looked a step above most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are making judgements just like you are but they're not being arses about it unlike someone else... Nothing new there.

Keyblade Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Guess we need to wait to hear from him if he meant it or not. It's a good thing his overall performance was good too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
