Ian, McGinn has been thrown into positions where Unai doesn't play to his strengths but it's been more poor games than months. It's not a difficult job as we only have one centre forward but Unai should know by now what are and aren't Watkins' strengths. To expect Watkins to deliver when we play to his weaknesses, I may have mentioned them once or twice over the years, is totally pointless.
Like all managers/coaches, you have to get the best out of what you have. You can't constantly buy your way out of trouble or poor performances. Plenty of others manage to do it and the majority would love to have Watkins in their team. Unai needs a reset more than the players. There's a Brazilian expression that sums it up, 'who doesn't have a dog hunts with a cat'.
