Majoro’s future at City is in doubt with his contract expiring at the end of the current season and McCarthy feels the uncertainty about his future is causing the striker to put half-hearted performances.
“The reason Letsie was in the side is because he was the best striker I had over the three week period [of the international break].
“In training he was firing from all cylinders‚ so you can’t ignore the boy when he gives you that kind of commitment‚” McCarthy told TimesLive.
“Some people wait until it is two days before the game and then they come to life and expect to be in the side.
“But it doesn’t work like that and that’s why I have opted for Letsie instead of Major [Majoro] and Judas,” added McCarthy.
“I hope the Majoro issue can be sorted out quickly because I also want a clearer view of the players that I have at my disposal.
“I want players that are committed to the cause‚ to playing for the team‚ playing for me‚ playing for their teammates.
“Not half-hearted because he is uncertain if he is going to stay‚ is he going to go‚ it’s not good for the player either.
“So hopefully the chairman [John Comitis]‚ Majoro and his party can make a decision quickly,” concluded the City coach.
