McGree

[Billy69_uk]

Given his recent performances under Carrick, has anyone changed their mind about McGree ?

I think he is finding his groove in a system that suites his style, and he is undoubtedly a very decent player.

Long may it continue, he has a huge part to play in our future success.

I always said he had the talent we just weren’t seeing I’m delighted he’s starting to show it now though. Just needs that finish now.

Thought he was average last night - link up play second half was a lot better than the first, but needs to do a little bit more imo.

New position? New tactics? Give him the benefit of the doubt. He is a decent player definitely.

Was good Saturday - just poor finishing
Have been underwhelmed with him since his arrival, but hopefully Saturday is a sign of things to come from him

I've always liked him but he was exceptional last night. Best player on the park for me.

We're really playing to his strengths now - good control, vision and passing. He linked up nearly every attacking move last night, moving the ball quickly, playing the correct pass and keeping the pace up.

Now he's our only player missing for the 4 week break I wonder how that will work with others having that time under Carrick's training?
And if Australia do really well he may miss the next League game

No. Consistently said he is a good player. And he is.

 

[Quicksilvera]

Very good player.

 

[iamborome]

Sometimes looks very clumsy...a very one footed player.

I can't see the squad training for 4 weeks solid. Possibly a week off, week training and repeat.

So is the majority of our team, it’s rare to find a genuinely 2 footed player.

 

[allied_assault]

Has excellent awareness and vision

 

[NoloBoro]

No…he’s a decent player, always thought he was. He’s going to be important to us. When we strengthen we’ll see even more from him.

Technically is probably our best midfielder, one of the few that actually looks forwards when receiving the ball. Much better going forwards then doing the defensive side of things so looks good when we play good against poor teams but leaves us exposed against stronger teams. Poor finisher and gives the ball away too often.

In summary, he's not bad. Better offensively than defensively but not good enough offensively to play so far forward. Hopefully we can bring someone in to play that position and he can be the backup. Even more hopefully, he just improves the areas where he is weak and he becomes that better player. He's technically good enough so you'd hope a bit of good coaching can improve those mental and physical attributes.

Lets see him do it for more than two games and needs to finish more of the chances he gets. Was very good apart from that on Tuesday.

Denmark France Tunisia in their group hmm maybe

Tough opener v the holders in France.

 

[TeaCider]

Can't see Australia getting out of the group, so I don't think it'll be a problem.

Be good if they did though.
