It seems like John McGinn had a transformative experience with Unai Emery at Aston Villa. When Steven Gerrard was managing the team, McGinn found himself struggling with performance and even being benched. However, Emery’s thorough analysis of his playing history, particularly at Hibs and with the Scotland national team, helped him understand what might work best for McGinn.
Emery’s detailed approach, including examining McGinn’s statistics and preferred position, helped to identify why McGinn wasn’t performing well. McGinn attributes some of his success to the faith shown in him by Scotland manager Steve Clarke, who utilized him differently in the national team, allowing him to play a more attacking role.
This change in positioning and the confidence instilled by Emery and Clarke seems to have had a positive impact on McGinn’s performance at Aston Villa, leading to him regaining his place in the starting lineup and contributing more effectively to the team’s success.
