Used his body really well, was strong with and without the ball and drove us forward so well. Man of the match by a mile and, most critically, he played so well for the whole 90 mins. None of the above has been evident enough all season. His inconsistency has been frustrating this season but today he showed how good he can be. Controlled our play and tempo a lot today as well. Really good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 He needs to continue against Southampton now, he's the definition of consistently inconsistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) When Stevie G first came in McGinn improved incredibly with the ball. He kept it simple was up at 89/90% possession and still had 2/3 key passes per game. Then he inexplicably went back to the Hollywood pass at all costs which was costing us games. When McGinn keeps it ticking over he is dangerous for the opposition because his through balls then are deadly as they catch them off guard. long may it continue.

wilko154 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 His best game in weeks, and it's no coincidence that it was the game he played in the middle of the park and didn't have to cover for his full back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was linked to the team losing shape and McGinn basically being asked to play deep on the right next to Konsa while the full backs charged forward… with the full backs sitting more against Brighton he could play his ‘normal’ game.

MaVilla Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 just re-watching the Southampton game, McGinn does have a lot of positives to his game for sure, but i 100% stand by the statement that if Gerrard wants to play possession football at some point in his tenure, McGinn is just not capable of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was a great team effort so feels stupid to complain about individuals, but McGinn was a lot less impressive than against Brighton. Not even close to the same energy.

One thing that can always be said is no matter how good/bad he's playing he always gives 100%. It's that work rate that's got him to where he is as opposed to natural ability I would say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Superb performance today. He dominated the midfield with Dougie. Some of his passes into Coutinho were sublime. His tackling was devastating for Leeds could have had a couple of goals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
