Aston Villa suffered a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Friday evening and John McGinn was one of many players criticised by supporters on social media for his performance. The 26-year-old, who was given a rating of 3/10 by Birmingham Live, made two big mistakes that led to goals so fans weren’t happy.
Against Arsenal, McGinn played for 90 minutes, had 52 touches, completed 74.3% of his 35 passes, had one shot which failed to hit the target, made one interception, failed to create a chance, gave away one foul, failed to make a tackle and had three successful dribbles.
The Scottish international has made seven Premier League appearances this season, scoring two goals with one assist. McGinn has been a regular under Dean Smith and a great servant for Villa, but he’s now lost three league games on the bounce.
McGinn has racked up 119 appearances in all competitions since his 2018-move from Hibernian, scoring 15 goals with 20 assists. Questions are being asked whether he should be rest for Villa’s Premier League meeting with West Ham United on October 31. Smith won’t make any rash decisions, however.
