Mcatee

Quoted from Mayaman

Crewe aside , he's not far wrong.   He often attempts more complicated things when a simple pass would be more effective.  Maybe that's because he should be playing with players of a higher standard.

It struck me watching his return against Donny that there were some subtle differences in his play - in particular dummying and leaving the ball for someone else - who in that game was invariably not there to receive it. Maybe he got some coaching back at Luton during his recovery that doesn’t suit our style or standard?
Have t seen the dummying so much recently - maybe Hurst ‘coached’ it out of him.

Quoted from monkeyboy

Now i love macca and really rate him as a player but it would seem our worse form is happening when he is playing.

Maybe they trying to play the game to suit macca rather than how we play without him?

He hasnt set the world on fire since he has been back and to me is very droppable at this moment in time.

Drop our only real game changer?

Good luck with your Motherwell application btw Ian.

It is absolutely criminal how our fans have suddenly turned on McAtee. He’s a gifted footballer who I’m sure will be a success at Luton and we should enjoy him for the time he’s here.

He’s spent most of this season either out of position or playing in a formation that relies heavily on him to be the one creative outlet.

It’s quite obvious he reads a lot of the stuff posted about him and it’s a shame that he’ll be reading all the comments about him on twitter about his performances this season.

I'd like to know who we have in reserve who is better than him, because I haven't seen him yet.

We are better as a collective, team, without him at the moment, even though he's the best individual.

This is a frustration I have. We have known since 2 days after our first game of the season that McAtee would be out for 3 months and then not our player by the end of the season so I would have liked to have seen someone who looks like replacing him around the place by now.

I totally agree with you mate.
I did not see the Swindon game but I have been really frustrated with some of the things posted about his attitude and desire.
He is clearly our best player, I would say Smith is second. He gets annoyed with the players around him because they are not, do not think, at his level.
I hope he has a good end to the season and good luck to him after that.

As John Moore would say......."crikey"

He is by far and away our best player and to leave him out would be stupid. It is not McAtee's fault that Hurst could not find a suitable striker to play along side him.

The needs of the team should always outweigh the ability of one individual.

What evidence have you got for that?
