He's always been a class player , you don't play in a champions League semi final if your not a class player. He was once compared to the great Liam Brady ...

It was after the Derby defeat and his two sending offs that caused people to slate him

No doubt, he is a great Footballer

We always have played better with him.

The problem was that he did 2 stupid things in games against the Jerks and then everyone got on his back.

In my view, it was because of the unhealthy inetrest we've got in all things Jerks that caused people to concentrate on these mistakes, rather than realise he was such a classy player generally.

If we keep him fit, we could yet get up this season :ayatollah:

He has always been excellent for us, some people don't get him because he doesn't score and doesn't run around like a headless chicken. A unique player and massive for us.

to be honest I have been worried about mcphail because he's 32 or 33 even, and with this illness I feared the worse for his career, but hes doing great.

May I also point out, he doesnt do alot of running, or rely on pace, that might be a big factor in getting a few extra years out of him, as he wont lose much of his game

It was because under Jones we played 4-4-2 and he is too weak a player to play as central midfielder alongside a.n.other.
Malky's system suits his game a lot better As Macca has never been an up and down type central midfielder as he has never had the pace to do so.
Holding role just sitting is more his game. :ayatollah:
