Aston Villa captain sends strong message ahead of Bournemouth test
Skipper John McGinn has urged Villa not to take their foot off the gas against Bournemouth tomorrow.
Unai Emery’s men host the Cherries on a 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions aiming to complete a week which has already seen them beat Fulham and Bologna.
But the visitors demonstrated their ability by inflicting a first defeat of the season on Arsenal last weekend and McGinn knows Villa will be tested.
He said: “We need to be at it. We watched them (Bournemouth) on the way back from Fulham when they beat Arsenal.
“They are a really good team who have caused us problems before. In this league you don’t get a break. You don’t get an easy team or an easy ride. Bournemouth are one of the teams in form at the minute and they will give us a tough game.”
