shotstopper 765 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I think Beale was the main man behind Gerrard and now that he's left for QPR the boat has sprung a leak. Gerrard out before the world cup and I won't be losing any sleep over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,478 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Making McGinn his main man is a strange one for me, he doesn't look like he has changed his style of play(shock) and McGinn is the complete opposite of what he wanted in his CMs here. Similar to Lundstram and how he struggled with the way he was used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly yeah, but his interviews in season 1 and 2 with us were really positive last season he really changed and is getting worse. Aged a bit too, maybe it's not for him.
