MaVilla Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 My worry isn't that we may need to replace him, as in he needs to have competition and the actual chance to be on the bench. My worry is that he seems to be one of the undroppables...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Needs too much time and space to pass the ball effectively forwards. Sometimes lacks spatial awareness. Works hard but gets bumped and levered off the ball. Better defensively at least yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that he seems to be one of the undroppables...... He is because we don’t have anyone better. I like McGinn. I actually want to see him in the side next year with a better defensive midfielder behind him and either Grealish or a new 10 in front. He’s been poor at times this year, no question, and yes, he does need competition, but I still think his energy, drive and all round attitude is going to be key for this team and squad moving forward.

McGinn is just a hard worker who likes giving the ball away. Douglas ran that game yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion, I think Luiz has had a poor season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say Luiz has been poor since the covid breakout. Since project restart up until covid stuff he'd been excellent. 7-8/10 every game. Yesterday he was excellent. Edit I totally agree with you about a dominant CDM type. Edited May 2, 2021 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanson is his direct competition but needs a pre-season to get up to speed.

CVByrne Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I don't see where he fits in next season if we sign the DM we've been in desperate need of. Luiz/Sanson are much better passers of the ball and so would be the partner for new signing. McGinn has to be pushed further forward and given the role he's best suited for. He needs to improve and if he gets the goals he'll be doing the job right. I still feel we need a Jack style player at 10 and not a McGinn style player.

villa4europe Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Debating if mcginn or Luiz is the better player tells you everything you need to know about our midfield... Both are 6/10 players on a good day this calendar year, they're a massive problem for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Unfortunately Johns passing is a liability at the moment. Needs to spend extra hours on the training pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I thought he was great especially in the first half. Very committed played some wonderful passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Best game for McGinn against Everton this season but let's be honest we could count the good games he's had this season on one hand. Still think it's all a struggle for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I think there would be a lot of clubs in for him if we decide to sell him. With regard to his passing he doesnt go for the simple short pass he tries a an aggressive passes that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post useless Posted May 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2021 He's better than most of the midfielders that people are suggesting that we buy. Berge and Billing to name two, if people aren't pleased with McGinn it wouldn't take long before they got fed up of those two. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
