Reckon McGinn was told by DS to play a different way this season, not to get too far forwards so that he could strengthen defensive midfield. Ideally we'd have a midfield whereby if McGinn went on one of his inspired runs then someone else covers; that's the way midfields should work. But we're not there.
I think Danny was played because DS had fallen into the "experienced" trap. No other reason. In the event, Danny showed that currently he isn't the player he was.
It worries me we're chopping and changing rather than sticking to a system and working on improving it. When DS took over from Bruce we started to get a recognisable system, with the benefits that implied; players knew what to do on the pitch. We seem to have lost that somewhat.
