pete0 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 His attitude has surprised me, he seems focused on making an impact in the prem which is great for us. As for being frustrating I dont know many wingers who play well for the full 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Fair play to him although reading that I get the impression if he isn't getting a game he could throw his toys out the pram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I agree. Todays performance summed up what I have never liked about him. Too inconsistent and cant be trusted. He certainly has some qualities but he shows them for 5% a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not having that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Offers absolutely zero protection to the back four. I don't rate him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not having that. Especially in the position we were in holding onto a lead. You dont need someone who wants the glory in that situation, you want someone to get involved. His lack of effort in the build up to their second goal is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 haha get in there.... what a difference a week makes. everyone wanked over him last week. dont get me wrong i thought he was poor also but to get the high and mighty saying they always thought he was shit pisses me off. give it a break lads.

Paddock Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wl Martinez seems to constantly wank over him so we best get used to it because he can't seem to do any wrong in his eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I don't even think the jury's still out on him. He's a 10 minute player over 90. He had no impact at all when he came on and people slagged Deulofeu off. Twice the player at 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they didn't (one or two aside), people acknowledged a brilliant goal (which it was) but still questioned his overall performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I still think he can do something for us. He will frustrate like these out and out run at em wingers do, but he can deliver. If not, well he cost fuck all so never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, well he cost fuck all so never mind. I agree with the first part (I do like him), but not the latter. He didn't disappoint yesterday in the way wingers do - he didn't try at all. He offered zero going forward and at a time when we needed him to help out defensively, because Arsenal were all over us, he didn't even bother tracking back. He was disgraceful tbh.

Newty82 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I guess we can all agree on us wanting him to do something, don't we? We really want him to be this player that we had heard about. If it comes down to attitude, we'll not a lot can be done. Why do these flair type players have attitude? Always seemed to be the way when playing school/local football...the ones with that bit of skill and flair were right cocks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 What I will say about McGeady is that we will prove to be a very useful player when we are trying to break down a packed defence. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's probably a fair assessment of him. He's the type of sub you want putting on when you need a goal or a defence unlocking.

MC11 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Can I just say other than the odd bit of Brilliance every 10 games I don't think he'll cut the mustard here. I've seen enough now to realise he just isn't that good. You put his work rate and effectiveness up against Mirallas and there's just no comparison. Decent enough squad player, but he'll never be a crucial first teamer. It's the inconsistency, going missing for the majority of his time on the field.

Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think it tells that McGeady was happy to sign for Wigan under Roberto. Squad player. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 he needs a little more time for me to rate him, but for now he's a bench guy, league and FA cup starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Plenty of technical ability but horrible at decision-making and his final ball. Probably too late in his career to expect any improvement in this area from him, but we'll see. Definitely a good guy off the bench, but frustrating to watch for 90 minutes.

Probably too late in his career to expect any improvement in this area from him, but we'll see. Definitely a good guy off the bench, but frustrating to watch for 90 minutes. I've been quietly impressed with the quality of his crosses into the box to be honest. What has surprised me is he seems to fuck up the easier, shorter passes in the build-up quite regularly, which is what has annoyed me the most about him so far.

MC11 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I seriously hope he doesn't start on Saturday. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thought he was useless today. Touch was poor, decision making was shite. The best bits of play were when he was heading in the wrong direction. He did well finding space for Naismith's goal but before that, he was absolute dross. I've never known an "attacking winger" to turn back or not beat a man as much as him. In the first half his touch lost us possession on far too many occasions.

I don't think he was that bad, and he was much better than what he showed last weekend, but I was still pretty disappointed with him. He showed more effort but there just wasn't anything at the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 He did well in my eyes. Great run and pass to set up naismith. Tracked back all game. People seem to forget who he was up against. He passed it well got stuck in and committed defenders. Mirallas played really well but didn't take on a player once. It's so hard to BeT a Chelsea defender one v one. I think both wide men played well the way they opened up the pitch by changing play.
