McGinn looks a different player when he doesn’t have to sit. I really hope we play three in midfielders from now on and obsess with having a ten.We will have to switch/swap Ings and Watkins to make this work but I think it will be worth it.

I really hope we play three in midfielders from now on and obsess with having a ten.We will have to switch/swap Ings and Watkins to make this work but I think it will be worth it.As I've said before, Smith wants midfielders who can sit, pass, tackle, play and score. Hence his apparent lack of interest in a world-class DMF.McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Sanson, Chukwuemeka and Buendia can do all these things (although, based on tonight, MacPhee needs to help Ramsey and Luiz in shooting practice).Marv is a tactical player, brought in to shut things down ... which is why I was surprised to see him come on tonight.
He's so good at so many things, but his distribution is often terrible. It's why he plays for us rather than one of the c*nt teams.

He looked much better today, becacuse he got to do more driving forward than when he's asked to sit with Luiz in that two in front of the back four. Passing isn't his thing though really is it?
He got booked for winning the ball. An abysmal decision by a wank referee.
He was one of quitea few real positives for me yesterday.Tenacious in the tackle and work rate off the scale.Any side or fan would want him in their starting XI.
