James McCarthy

[Toffe3m4n]

Good game from him today. Looked hungrier for the ball than what I've seen from him in recent times. Just wish he'd take more of a chance coming forward sometimes, reckon he has goals in him.

Love him. MOTM for me today. Incredible energy levels and he's always available for the pass.

Agreed, he was my MOTM as well, closely followed by Baines.

Just been walking down Priory Road when some ginger fella chased me for 60 yards. Thought he was gonna mug me but he ended up slide tackling me instead and it was James McCarthy.

Doesn't look great confidence wise with the goal to aim at, tbf. I think he's got to start adding this to his game. Martinez reckons it's all about confidence. If it made him more bold in attacking play I'd actually give him the armband.

Will happen in the coming years, of course.

But we won't be seeing this lad with the armband any time soon.

Which is sad because he's fecking boss.

Did a great job today! Lots of make-team-tick-work inbetween of some really top-class passes.

A latter day Bracewell in the making if he polishes up his passing,excellent purchase,consistently 7 to 8/10 every game IMHO.

Thought he was great today. I think he is restricted in his role a the moment on the team, he mops up in front of our defence and snuffs out attacks from the opposition. I agree with everybody in that he has to add more drive to his game but i feel the role Martinez has given him in the team makes it hard for him to score.
When we are chasing a game or like today playing against a team that has the bus parked in their own box he can drive forward more.
I saw where Martin O`Neill said that he needs to take games by the scruff of the neck and i think that will come in time. It was a great deal to get him for 13 million and he has shown to be one of the top young midfielders in the league a future captain.

to score goals you have to have an attempt. Has McCarthy ever had a dig at goal for us?

about 3 times today, all were blocked.

 

[Boss Lid]

Mmm, Jenny McCarthy, top muff !

It's no great shame he doesn't go for goal himself all the time either via shots or runs. It shows a great maturity, he understands his role is for the benefit of the team not himself... it's clear what Martinez said has alot of truth about it, the fact that staying at Accies playing regular league football from aged 16 has given him a fantastic undertsanding of the game. Future captain material is not a bad shout at all
