In fact, who else even has an original song? "We've got McG...." sorry I can't do it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate, we need Elon Musk to bank roll us. Edited October 6, 2022 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone coming off the bench or being substituted in almost every game, for a struggling side it’s pretty good.

Decent enough numbers considering he almost always has the same old dysfunctional midfield behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Oh and also, if we had better finishers, he'd have had a few more assists last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Gerrard will look silly if Buendia wins us the game and then drops him again. He's in full reputation preservation mode now. For that reason, it'll be Ings and Watkins I think. Edited October 6, 2022 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The problem with Buendia is he always looks shit when he starts and is normally knackered by about 60 minutes. Seems a much better player when coming on against tired opposition and having more space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia needs to start now, he will add more in attack and defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On match days is where it counts, mccginn obviously plays yhe same energy in training so gets picked as others naturally in a non competitive environment are holding back to not get injured and save fatigue. That's why skillfully players will look great as it's their skill not intensity in training and yhe one or two who go full on look good. Sort midfield out with complimentary players and we improve.
