Failing to impose himself in these games. I'd say 'rested' rather than dropped tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Was fantastic during the back end of last season. Needs to rediscover that form because he's quite a way off at the mo. Not overly worried about him but needs to buck up asap if we are to have a good season. We need all our senior players stepping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Seems to be playing a different role to last season, playing further forward which I know some people think is his strength but really his strength is being an all round box to box man - play him too high or too deep and his game is severely limited, he’s barely been involved in anything all season which is really unlike him Edited September 22, 2023 by david-avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Don’t remember him being involved at all yesterday. It just isn’t good enough. He should have been the one putting a rocket up everyone’s arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero7 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Seems to be playing within himself, not sure what the answer is but every time he’s asked to play in a different role he struggles to adapt for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Reminds me a bit of this time last season. Being beaten for strength and passes not coming off. Its a dip in form . Will come good again. As he has proven twice before when his form has dipped for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hopefully gets a rest against everton. Think he needs a recharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Definitely tired, been playing games all over the place lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Needs a rest. Really bad first half from him. Couldn’t keep the ball and passes were nowhere. Got a little more lively after the first Digne incident but even from his own account, not his best recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I love McGinn but I can’t be the only one thinking he isn’t the answer as captain. I don’t even think he’s the long term answer in midfield. I’d look to improve and it does hurt to say that as you can’t help but love the guy. But starting and captaining a team gunning for Europe? I’m not so sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been in great form so far but he was absolutely immense at times in the run in, he’ll get back to levels soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe out of form or tired but nothing more at this stage imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero7 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I think he’s tired. I saw a very slow laboured track back first half that wasn’t actually a track back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not intricate enough to hold down an attacking role long term IMO, and I love the guy as much as anyone. He'll still get plenty of minutes mind.

Tayls Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 McGinn is tired. He’s played a lot of games recently and pretty much carries Scotland. Once he is recharged he’ll be a boss again. You’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like discussions about players and just wanna praise them, don't come on here. Some of us believe certain players do/may have limitations, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's not done in a hateful way.
