John McGinn was in action for Aston Villa against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

Charlie Nicholas suggested on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News this past Saturday (17:23pm, February 16, 2019) a flaw in the game of Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn.

The former Celtic and Arsenal forward made the comments following Villa’s 2-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park in the Championship this past Saturday.

McGinn started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, and Nicholas suggested a flaw in the 24-year-old Scotland international’s game.

Nicholas said on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News this past Saturday (17:23pm, February 16, 2019): “He gets his head down too often and because of that he doesn’t see the big picture.”

Stats

McGinn joined Villa from Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Times to be worth £2.75 million.

According to WhoScored, the former St. Mirren star has made 30 appearances in the Championship for Villa so far this season, scoring two goals and providing seven assists in the process.

Villa, who are 10th in the Championship table at the moment with 44 points from 33 matches, will take on Stoke City away from home in the league on Saturday afternoon.
