McGinn is not a defensive midfielder and is not a ball player. He’s at his best when he’s got the licence to fly forward. Last season he was the victim of the turmoil when Grealish left and then Deano. If he’s played in his best position then he’ll be a huge asset for us again.
I wouldnt be shocked to see a surprise on the first day of the season, but think its more likely to be Mings benched for Chambers. I really can’t see both Mings and McGinn dropped straight away.
After Emi (GK) i bet his name is first on team sheet every week - and that is just not right with the mixture of midfielders / attackers we have now.He simply is not good or consistent enough to warrant a guaranteed 1st team starting spot. Maybe a spot of bench time might get him back to the levels he once was
Announced as captain. From a seniority perspective makes some sense, but I'd expect hope his position to be under threat.
Martinez is vice captain, Ashley Young is club captain.Wonder what this means for Mings?
