James McCarthy

[blueblue]

OK I did miss his first half as my painkillers for my slipped disc in my neck dozed me off , but 20 minutes in the 2nd half I had to ask my son was MaCarthy playing? then he was subbed?

What did your son say about how McCarthy played ?

What did your son say about how McCarthy played ?

He watched Lukaku in the Belguim game in the first half that's why that game sent me asleeplol

 

[Professor Toffee]

We have nothing to lose, payback is on offer, McCarthy could certainly set the tone for that.

Let's do the job, for Europe

 

[Mikeonlythebestwilldo]

McCarthy has spoken in the daily star ! More honesty like that Jamo will help you now

 

[Zatara]

So is barry so we have two doing Lee Carsley's job then?
Sorry but he has to improve back to his first seasons work rate!
RM was always reluctant to sub or drop him?

As yet we have no idea of the formation Koeman wants but it appears that he prefers hard running destroyers like McCarthy in defensive midfield than Barry or Gibsok types.

 

[BlueToff]

He was immense in that first half- once again playing in that holding role

 

[fareastblue]

Was he supposed to mark griezmann

 

[sageyefc]

No mans land for the first and no idea who's running behind him for the second. Ball watching is his biggest weakness

 

[ToffeeTim]

Get rid.

 

[sageyefc]

Crap

 

[Jozzy]

Has just gone off, like the whole Irish side he's had a poor second half. The difference of quality between the two squads is being shown.

 

[Bustard]

I remember when he signed and during his first season a lot of people on Red Cafe said we should have signed him (I think over Fellaini if I remember correctly) and he was a bargain for Everton. Seems like he's not rated very highly anymore

 

[chicoazul]

He's became an unfair boo boy as the final symbolising of Martinez.

Let Koeman work with him first you frenzied XFactor crowd titheads.

 

[blueblue]

McCarthy had an outstanding first half , the French upped the tempo in the second half and overran a hardworking but very limited Irish team.
Take no notice of those who criticise McCarthy as it will all be down to the manager anyway to decide what role he plays. I think he will be impressed.
