Has McGinn done a post match interview yet? I don’t recall one. I don’t even know if he wants to be captain. It certainly hasn’t elevated his game.
Thought this myself. He defo seems to be ducking at the minute
John McGinn defends Steven Gerrard after Aston Villa lose to Arsenal.
McGinn the Captain has spoken
"We were standoffish in the first half. Douglas scored a great goal and we were right back in it and then we make the same mistakes over and over again and we were punished.
It is about us as players taking responsibility and being more streetwise. We need to start getting results and we are all aware of it.
It would be a bigger problem if the effort wasn’t there. But we seem to be weak when we score a goal. It is something we need to improve if we are to take the club where we want to.
If you don’t perform you get criticism and you can either go into your shell and worry or you can puff your chest out and try to do something about it. It is not going to turn overnight.
It has nothing to do with the manager. Players are put out to do jobs and if we don’t perform those jobs it is our responsibility. Arsenal were in a similar position last season and stuck with it and got it right"
