Riley McGree Scout Report

In analysing Riley McGree's current season at Middlesbrough, it's clear his style of play thrives on retaining possession and facilitating offensive playmaking from the left flank. His exceptional ball retention and near-perfect pass accuracy—both among the highest in the Championship—underscore his skill in maintaining control and dictating tempo. His vision is further evidenced by his high percentile in assists, making him a critical creative outlet. Despite this, McGree struggles with ball recovery and dribbling past opponents, areas in which he ranks quite low, posing limitations to his defensive contributions and offensive penetration. As a left winger who's adept at progressive passing, he's adept at carving out chances but somewhat lacks in converting them, reflected in his relatively low goal efficiency. Nevertheless, his versatility allows him to slot seamlessly into various midfield roles, offering tactical flexibility. This scout report highlights that, while McGree's shooting could be more clinical, his ability to operate as a linchpin in attack makes him indispensable, particularly in creating opportunities for teammates. His advanced positioning and frequent touches on the ball indicate a player deeply involved in Middlesbrough's strategic play, despite his low interception figures.
