Yes totally agree, some fans expect players to be back to their best straight away after a long injury it probably takes a month or so, Bolasie is getting stuck too he had an aw full injury and we have to be careful with him for quite a while.
Back to his best? Hes been crap for years when he has not been 'injured'.
Klopp said about sturridge once " he needs to learn what is an injury and what is only pain."
Playing with a small knock is normal and the majority of footballers get on with it. Then there is a small minority who constantly rule themselves out and declare themselves unfit and unavailable for selection. My hamstring hurts oh its my knee got the flu my eggs were overcooked etc.
I suspect mccarthy is in this minority camp as someone else said he is a wage thief and needs to be got rid of .
