The Aston Villa midfielder once again played poorly as Dean Smith’s charges returned to Villa Park empty handed.

A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to slate John McGinn’s performance in today’s Premier League defeat.
Dean Smith’s charges headed to Sheffield United but weren’t at the races as they slipped to a 2-0 loss.
McGinn was brilliant last term for Villa and began this season brightly but has flattered to deceive for the past few games, and against the Blades, he was largely anonymous.
In the battle of the two Scotland international midfielders, McGinn was very much second best against John Fleck, who scored twice to help Chris Wilder’s side to victory.
It seems as though many Villa fans are worried that the claret and blue lynchpin is in need of a rest – after all, he’s played every minute of every Villa league game this term.
Some others, meanwhile, want Smith to rejig his formation, with or without McGinn.
Here is some of the social media reaction to the £3million man‘s display:
Villa currently have 15 points from 17 Premier League games, having lost their last three in a row, and up next for Smith and co is their League Cup clash with Liverpool at Villa Park.
