Win today and the first time we have won our first 4 games in the top flight since 1930/31 I think

After struggling a bit before he was injured last season and certainly on his return, he's getting back to his best. Thought he was terrific tonight, capped off with a great turn to lay off the pass for Barclay's winner.

Form is temporary, class is permanent an all that.
You can apply that to Aston Villa FC too

Another outstanding performance from McGinn tonight. One minor nit picking, he needs to work on that right foot. Other than that he was superb again today. Bargain of the century

Gotta love the way he uses his body to protect the ball. It's like he doesn't have to worry about controlling the ball, it's always under control so he can focus on fending off his man with his body.

I didn't see the game as I was house viewing, I seen reports he was our worst player, was that true ?

I’m not an expert
I don’t understand what’s gone wrong. He’s struggled to regain fitness since coming back from injury. I’m not seeing a player who can cover every blade of grass in this league based on a higher pedigree of player anytime soon.
So he needs to work on his game and become a more intelligent player rather than a Bruce Willis character in the midfield.
He wanted us to bring in better quality which we’ve done, for me he has to make a sacrifice and become a player that fits a system for others to flourish. We’ll need his energy at points, but do the basics, give us some shape and when the confidence is back he can go marauding forwards looking for a winner.

I was watching it with my Gabby. She has McGinn in her fantasy football team. After about 20 minutes she asked why McGinn wasn't playing. He was invisible.

McGinn's got the love again.

I was saying before the Arse match that he needed to develop a relationship/understanding with Barkley. Hopefully this is a sign that he's no longer the third-wheel in the Grealish-Barkley relationship

Ah yes, that's a phrase I haven't heard in many years! Gotta keep up with my Brummie slang so thanks for the reminder! I called someone a pillock the other day, actually made me laugh just saying it (the American recipient laughed too as he didn't have a clue what a pillock was).

With me it's Black Country slang. I called someone a yampy twat the other week. My wife who is a northerner had never heard the phrase and couldn't stop laughing, or should I say loffin.
