Riley McGree

I was critical earlier in the season as he seemed to be a luxury player who didn't do the requisite defensive work but he has increased his work rate without the ball. There's no question of his quality on it.
 
I must admit I didn’t think it would work with him in the left wing but I love how he’s got license to roam. Pops up in some great positions, often on the opposite wing. Unfortunately I think he’s just a yard too slow to be truely top class but doing a good job for us where we are at the moment.
 
At the start of the season I predicted he’d become as good as Tav and that we may be in a position where Tav is on the bench and we’d wish we’d sold him, hence I endorsed his sale.

Then a few weeks later when the season was going badly pear shaped I thought maybe I was wrong and that we were missing Tav more than I thought we would.

Now, I don’t know what to think. As good as he was for us, I don’t think there is a role for Tav in this side, so maybe it was the right call. I know Tav and McGree don’t play the same role but they do take up the same “spot” in the starting XI I’d say.

Only bit I disagree with is the distance...I'd say half a yard, but if he was that little bit quicker, he'd be at a top club and not with us 🤷🏽‍♂️
