Seems to be taking an unnecessary touch too often of late, although he wasn't alone with that in Saturday.

Or grow a bigger arse.
Not passing the ball directly to the opposition right outside our penalty area would also help. He was guilty of that several times on Saturday.
No way. McGinn is great and has to stay.
