McGree

I thought McGree was very good today. Excellent play for the goal and got into some good positions. Sometimes he makes the wrong decision (like Tav!), sometimes his shooting is off (like Tav!) but today he always showed for the ball and never stopped (like…you know who!). He’s not the finished article yet but if he continues to play like he did today he will be an important player for us
 
Nothing wrong with his shooting today, hit it clean every time and the keeper made some impressive saves
Spot on Wilco! The keeper made some excellent saves and I think McGree had at least 4 of our 9 shots on target.
 
Carrick wouldn't have started him unless he saw something in training.
He'll work with him to sort his 1st touch out and possession.
McGree has been given a lifeline to kick-start his career and the opportunity to impress.
Hope he takes it.
I have more faith in him than Giles
Agree 100%.
Plus, Mcgree remember, has been playing as a number 10 in a totally different position and formation so let’s cut him some time to find his confidence and settle into this position.
I trust MC so help him in the same way he is helping Hackney.
If it doesn’t work then MC will do something else.
 
"lightweight" is the word that immediately springs to mind.

One thing that does go in his favour is he definitely offers something a bit different to our other midfielders.

So far though, has mainly flattered to deceive. Quite a frustrating player actually, has some good touches, gets into some good areas but his final ball or shot is usually either poorly executed or the wrong choice. Has a habit of hanging onto it for too long too.

You would think if anyone could get him playing well though it'd be a former midfielder of Carrick's pedigree.
Good post festa lad
 
I swear Boro fans would rather have a player that didn’t get into good positions to miss chances and get things slightly wrong than they would someone like McGree who was a constant threat yesterday.

It’s either that or the old “he didn’t score so he must have been crap” galaxy brain takes.
 
When he was one on one with the keeper he got pulled over and he hit his shot towards goal off balance.It also happened to Forss twice,they just seemed to have a free pass to push and shove our players in the box.
 
4 shots on target yesterday in the highlights of the game, not bad for "a midfielder that does nothing"

He's certainly better when he has the chance to attack.
