Johnston was constantly being ruffed up (and he ended up on the floor on a number of occasions) so yes, he definitely has to get on a weight program as well as a nutritional diet. Ideally he'd be built like Shaquri, but i think he compensates well for his slightness. 5 minutes ago, The_Dark_Knight said: It's always the same with Scottish players. When we play England at under 21 level our players are always waifs that look like they'd be swept away if a heavy gust picked up, whereas, the English kids are always muscle-bound. Isn't that more to do with the ethnicity of a lot of the English players though? 5 minutes ago, The_Dark_Knight said: John McGinn is playing OK tonight. Did you see he had the opportunity to go past a man in his own half? You could see him thinking about it, then he turned and passed back to his centreback. The crowd immediately applauded. I think our boy is learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It would just a behind closed doors friendly, probably just to give players game-time, etc. Man United:Romero, Smalling, Jones, Darmian, Sanchez, Matic, Gomes, Pereria, Mata, Greenwood. Sheffield United: Moore, Freeman, Stearman, Jagiekla, Bryan, Besic, Osborn, Bryan, Ravel, Sharp, Mossett and McBurnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Even the white lads are tanks. 4 minutes ago, Dave78 said: Did you see he had the opportunity to go past a man in his own half?

I did and he's definitely learning that you DON'T have to drive forward and attempt to beat your man every single time you receive the ball. I'd say that that's progress.

In general, but I think his passing is further up the pitch now or better protected if further back. Not quite as risky as it would have been this season based on last season as I think a few of us thought. His stats are starting to look better in this one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, they love him at Villa, probably second only to Grealish and he's the local hero. Probably explains why he was both Player's and Supporter's Player of the Year last season.

At the time he was sitting on less than a 70% pass success rate, but I was being sarcastic as it is a view on here that he can't pass, one I believed too.

It shows the assist as a key pass I go to who scored .com It gives a final rating for the players performance which probably takes into account other factors regarding passing, or the value of each pass.

If you want proof then do your research. The consensus around Celtic fans is that he is lightweight. Generally i don't take much notice of Old Firm fans as they aren't that educated. But they do watch him every week. If you want to pick holes in what I've said about nutritional then you must have facts to back it up. And yes, i did a course on nutrition. I think it's sad that you appear to be of those people that think knowledge, and a thirst for knowledge, is a bad thing and should be friend upon. What's even sadder is you wouldn't dare say that to my face. Typical ned keyboard warrior. I have a PhD in astrophysics. However, I also get things wrong quite often. As did Albert Einstein on many occasions, and admitted to it. Try it some time mate, it's liberating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disclosed that in order to build muscle mass you have to induce 0.8g-1g per kilogram that a person weighs, and I was accused of being a witch.

No. I'm a human being, not an always right machine. Am i always right here? I'd say that more times I've been right than wrong. I adore being wrong. It's divine. As it's a give you a chance to learn. I'm dealing with some oddballs, though. I mean, a guy said that i was a whack job for saying that in order to gain muscle a person has to consume between 0.8g - 1g of protein ech day per kg he weighs. Every single nutritionist will back that up. In every other forum that advice would be welcomed, but not here. Maybe nutrition isn't a big thing with people here...
