Honestly think that’s a massive understatement Fringo. Thinks he’s looked outstanding. Villa look really good and McGinn and Grealish are absolutely running the show. McGinn looking really incisive. Tackling hard and his passing has been superb. That’s me obviously cursed him for the second half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBlueScot Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The BBC's live text of the game seems to imply McGinn's running the show: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45191565 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Charlie Mulgrew with a brace tonight. He’s probably scored more goals in 2018 than any other Scotland player which is ridiculous 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hanley strolled through the match v Preston (with Mould upfront). Rhodes didn't really get any chances. Two goals for Mulgrew for Blackburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Very impressed by McGinn tonight. Real tigerish display and good touch on occasions. Well worth a squad place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one that might be worth watching this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating from a Celtic pov, although he probably wouldn't have walked straight into the team like he has at Villa. Early days but it looks like he's made the right move.

Given the level of performance Brown has been putting in, then I don't think it would be long until he was in the team. I'm glad he never signed for Celtic anyway, more chance of him getting picked up by an EPL side at Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shot wildly wide near the end but early on he looked really dangerous. Seems to have perfected his crossing now too - hung a few nicely in the air which the other players unfortunately failed to capitalise on. Also had a really neat take down and drilled shot.

No he wasn't 😂 he canny beat a man and certainly canny cross, not consistently anyway. 1 hour ago, PASTA Mick said: No point talking to Kirky about Forrest.

mrniaboc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Harper starting up front for Malaga again tonight. Really interested to see how he does this season. Burke on the bench yet again. I wish West Brom would just give him a chance in the championship. There's no-one brilliant keeping him out of that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, I remember this exact feeling at the start of last season looking at the Liverpool team sheet and not even seeing Robertson on the bench. I hope Burke can take his chance the same way when he gets it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting a game at Liverpool in the top half of the EPL is alot different to not getting a game for west brom in the championship. Burke didn't get much game time last season as well. It is a bit worrying that he isn't playing, I would prefer if he went somewhere where he will get played every week. He's 21 now and needs first team football.

If it's still open I could see him going to the old firm or even Aberdeen, Hearts or Hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
