On the same page as you. Tell Cash to play right back and right back only, and tell SJM to own that right hand side of midfield.
McGinn is poor playing so deep, we know he’s a sloppy passer of the ball and his defensive radar isn’t always working for me.
He’s an all action player, he needs to be higher up being the next level of pressing after the forwards. He’s wasted sitting on the toes of the right back then looking up with the ball closer to our goal than the oppos, he’s also a bit suspect there too.
McGinn on current form looks worth what we paid for him.
Just look at the difference when he plays for Scotland.
I personally think we the two number 10’s stifles his game. We’re building a team for two players who are practically identical as to how they play the game and where they play, except one is not far off world class and the other marmite (I personally think he’s decent).
SJM and Ramsey are there to make up the shape.
He seems to play much better for Scotland.
I know some like to criticise him but I think he usually puts in a 6 or a 7 out of 10 performance, he’s very rarely the worst player or the one to blame for any results. The fact no one is commenting on his thread I think would back that view - he just ticks along with the job. If we want to push for a top 6 finish he’d perhaps have to make way for someone else, I think that’s always been the case, but we’re a long way off that at the moment, and if we sign a top quality defensive midfielder that might make the whole midfield look better, including McGinn.5 weeks since anyone posted about SJM, has he become just part of the furniture? He no long influences games enough to even get a mention .
Should he still be playing 90 mins week after week?
I know some think he's better high up the pitch but that is never going to happen, now we are trying to shoehorn Coutinho Buendia Ings and Watkins into the same side.
I think he's played well enough lately but against Palace, he was ok and hence me thought what the point in him doing 90 every single game. He's take for granted and vis versa
