Quote from: Percy McCarthy on August 07, 2022, 03:08:41 PMWe could give them a chance by asking them to play in midfield. Seems unfair for instance to play them as full-backs then moan that they don’t score or create. But I do agree about McGinn. He’s been shit since before SG, since the championship IMO. But still, you wouldn’t ask Big Emi to play off the striker for half the game then moan that he’s let a few goals in.That was McGinn and Ramsey's heat maps for yesterday (our half is on the right, Bournemouth on the left), pretty much exactly where you'd expect to see your left and right sided midfielders.

Really. He isn’t better than what we already have imo
Trouble with our 2 strikers is that they both lack what the other has. Ings can't run, literally he's slower than a 38 year old Barry, but he can finish. But with no pace, he's jot making any runs that stretch the opposition, so becomes static. Our midfield has no one to hit, as he's making no space, and he's not a target man. In contrast Watkins will run all day, but has lost all ability to control or pass, or make a run that actually does something. Neither are good enough, and until that changes we can't move forward. Likewise with midfield, McGinn and Ramsey are not a pair that dovetail. One or the other, with a much stronger, better passing alternative.
You know what, Davis would probably be more use in the way Steven Me wants to play.
