If we keep playing the system we have been, 3 midfielders, Dendonker or Nakamba as the 6, Kamara or Luiz as the 7 and McGinn or Ramey as the 8. In other words, Dendonker and Kamara behind McGinn with him getting licence to break forward more. The ideal 3 in front as Coutinho, Watkins, Bailey.

On the evidence this season Buendia has been far better off the bench than when he's started, for me.

True, but he's only started twice.

I know, clearly a small sample size.

Great bloke but we will never have a decent footballing team with him in it.
No, that problem is somewhere else not with McGinn.

fantastic footballer for us just having a sticky patch this season - we need to support him and he will return to his best form

For £2.5m, he's been an absolute bargain and a very good player for us and still is.

He's not a very good player for us though, currently. What was the last good game he had, Crystal Palace last season?

You don't like him, we get it.

I know that having a go at other posters is your favourite pastime on here, but how about having a go at answering the question instead?

I just don't get the continuous jumping on posters who like the bloke. I think he's been an excellent signing for us and I like him a lot. Isn't that a valid enough opinion?

Where has anybody been jumped on? If you like him, then great. I just asked when he last had a great game. The last I can recall is Palace away last season.
