foreveryoung Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Not happy about this. McGinn shouldn't even be in the starting 11. Looks like he will be guaranteed almost every game now, an he really ain't good enough anymore. Wouldn't have batted a eyelid if he was sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I defo see him as one of the leaders, it's more his seemingly his guaranteed starting place this indicates which people are more worried about IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted July 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2022 Wonder if this has more to do with where Gerrard believes the captain should play 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Ashley young??? Are you bloody kidding me? Either tyrone has voluntary behind the scenes said he doesnt want to be considered as captain or gerrard really didnt think he was a good captain. You dont put bloody ashley young ahead of him.

Period Gerrard’s quote about him suggests it’s to give him time to focus on his game. As for Young being club captain - from what I gather he’s a top guy in and around the training ground, especially with the academy players so makes sense he has a role at the club more than just playing staff. it’s an odd decision for sure but not convinced it should be a stick to beat Gerrard with!

Popular Post avfc1982am Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 F****** terrible decision. The weakest link becomes the main man. I want McGinn replaced not given more responsibility ffs. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejs1111 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I agree with the sentiment here. SJM is a great character in the clubhouse by all accounts but I never thought of him as leadership material. Perhaps SG is hopeful making him Captain will help him raise his game. The real disappointing thing is: SJM will once again this season be a nailed on 1st11 when in reality AVFC need to be upgrading in this position. SJM needs competition not an armband. This also probably removes the possibility of AVFC signing another top class no8 this window. Also prolly means our hope of Kamara/JJ/Luiz midfield 3 is likely not going to happen either. Just a strange decision that frankly I don't agree with at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Puzzling. Theoretically this makes McGinn undroppable. On the whole I like him but he shouldn’t be an automatic starter. I would have gone for Emi Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Young is barely going to feature this year, but to I guess show him some respect Gerrard wanted to give him the Club Captain role. He'll pretty much be a coach with us more than a player I reckon, but I agree I think Ty should've at the very least been our Club Captain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it points to the fact that Young will eventually end up in a coaching role at the club when he hangs up his boots. I don't mind him being the club captain. But I am in shock about McGinn. FFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Class response from Mings, big fan of that attitude. McGinn shouldnt be captain, he’s the class clown. Maybe he can thrive and be much better on the pitch with the added responsibility but I would have given it to Martinez personally. If he throws in 5 stinkers in a row, Gerrard will have to drop him, captain or not, as it will be his arse on the line. Not many better captains in modern era football than Gerrard himself, so you’d like to think he’s had a good talk with McGinn about what’s expected. Feels like the wrong choice but lets see how we start the season.. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I don’t like it but I also don’t think it matters too much, or will really affect the line ups. Henderson and Milner at Liverpool, for example usually wear the armband. They’ve not been full time fixtures in the team for a while. Maybe it will mean we can drop McGinn without throwing him off his game now and it will be a positive for the squad. Let’s see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Did just think to myself though, Jordan Henderson is the Captain at Liverpool, and he isn't really a starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he became captain when he was a starter and just continued in the role as his playing time has reduced. But could well be wrong on that.
