The Super John McGinn Thread

[sirdennis]

I thought he was terrific tonight his best game by far since he came back from injury. On another day he may have got a goal as he made one or two breaks where if the pass was better he would have been clean through.

Best game since promotion for me, seriously.

Yep, great to see and actually quite relieved to see the spark back....was getting a bit concerned that he just hasn't looked anything like the player he was before his injury, although he didnt actually start the Prem too well before his injury tbf. Much more like it tonight...and fitness levels certainly back...brilliant to see.

Love it.
Stupidly myself and junior 1 were on our feet when he did that ..
Cult hero in our house.

As you'd expect, John McGinn has been called up for Scotland's games this October.

That clip of SJM had me smiling. I was a bit worried when he flew into that tackle he got booked for though. I had visions of that injury he picked up that cost him most of last season.

Standing ovation.

That Maradona turn was absolute filth.

SJM watching that replay of him sliding the ball through for Jack.. "Stroke" of genius

 

[sirdennis]

How good was he tonight ?

How good was he tonight ?

Top form! Cracking goal and a great assist for Jack.

Although if you watch back and even on MOTD Liverpool should of had a penalty because of his challenge and because he didn’t follow the man he was marking he was at fault for their first goal and ball watched and dispossessed for their second.
I think he was asked to play a different role tonight as he defended and stayed pretty deep, His overall performance made up for his mistakes put some quality balls in the box but that’s me over analysing.
I’m just enjoying the result!

 

[Wurzel]

Looks like he is back to his best, and I was wrong, he is Premiership quality. Well done SJM, I am delighted.

 

[The Fear]

Agree Wurzel.

I was half worried that his level might be being a top championship player - and as I said a week or so back, that is not a bad level to be at. I thought the last game (Fulham) he was all of a sudden clicking, best performance since our promotion I said at the time. And then last night, looks like he has the fitness and now the full belief. He must be buzzing.

"The Scotland national team has confirmed five of its playing squad and backroom staff are to self-isolate for 14 days following a positive Covid-19 test result."

But SJM has tested negative...

 

[sirdennis]

Seems like more and more footballers are testing positive for Covid.

I worry the season will descend into chaos and suspension.

 

[Claret & Blue Blood]

Seems like Liverpool players are now hiding behind Villa personas to hide their embarrassment

 

[Villa 4 Ever]

SJM is going to have a blinder for Scotland, I know he was having a cheeky look at Cash after Fulham but I'm sure he's keen to win Jack back

I worry the season will descend into chaos and suspension.

Projections I saw a while back estimated that ICUs will be exhausted again by the end of November so I would suggest that a two month shutdown of, well, everything really, could be on so that may well involve football too.
