birdman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I just want to see Luiz start with McGinn coming off the bench. Just once to satisfy my curiosity. Incidently I thought John got better as the game went on but I still think he could benefit from bench time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I think the only questions have been on whether he can play as a DM, or why he was being played there. Most people who've watched him know he has serious talent and discipline to go with it. Him and Kamara could be something special. McGinn needs dropping and so does Ramsey based on current form and fitness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes well he stopped doing John mcginn things and stayed passing and keeping the ball movement quickly instead of hesitating for an hour trying to stick his arse out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Get him that new contract ASAP! We are going to regret it if we let him go. We have to get him in that side, at least until we sign a new midfielder (who is, hopefully, superior to our current crop). McGinn… I can’t be arsed to say anything Can we buy a new captain?

trillvillan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Didn't he already sign the contract extension? Plus an option at an additional year through 2025? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the ball drops at the end. Yesterday it sailed high over the keeper but landed pretty close to the bottom of the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Excellent performance from Dougie yesterday. Harshly done on their goal too as he had his heel stood on in the build up. We do look so much better with him on the pitch, he's composed, can pass with both feet, always shows for the ball and is the most intelligent of our midfielders. Even if he isn't the future, picking McGinn and Ramsey over him is a piss take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done a job for us for years out of position and now he has to sit on the bench watching the likes of McGinn play infront of him. Its his time to play as an 8 week in week out. God knows he’s earned it. Also think with him on the pitch, it will unlock Better performances from Coutinho and the like. Someone who can pass and link play- come on Gerrard open your eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Actually tries to provide kamara with an option and does well at keeping possession. Must really piss Gerrard off when he does that. Absolutely has to start if we actually want a chance of winning on the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
