Aiden McGeady

[davek]

Completely agree. Apart from the goal he was gash against Leicester too.

He was easily our main threat against Leicester.

Good run and lay off for Naisy but that was about it. His final ball is generally atrocious, how many balls did he put in for lukaku? which is what he is there for. Decent off the bench for the last 10 but no more.

Loses the ball far too easily though, he may be an occasional threat but he's just as likely to put pressure on his team mates by giving possession away cheaply.

Easy target. Was very good yesterday and hopefully will only get better.
Like someone mentioned earlier, some players are immune to criticism and unfortunately for McGeady it looks like he has replaced Naismith as the boo boys favourite.

Wingers lose the ball. Twas ever thus.

Three games in one goal and a hand in two yesterday. It's unreasonable to say he isn't worth a place on the pitch. Very unreasonable.

Really? Looked like Coleman crossed it for the first goal and Baines did for the second to me.

Who cut the chelksi defence open with a perfect pass to Coleman?

Crack open the vaults on Coleman, some genius work there. 'Not worth the £60,000" etc etc.

Baines can do no wrong on this forum, or any Everton forum for that matter. Truth is he's a liability at the back and he no longer poses the attacking threat he used to. He was terrible again yesterday. I'd love to see Oviedo given a run in the side when he's fit again. I honestly think we looked a better, more balanced team when he played LB last season. We played all our best football with him there.

Obviously, I don't expect many on here to agree with me, after all Baines is golden boy and can do no wrong.

First goal - Mcgeady played in coleman who played in Mirallas; second goal mcgeady's run and pass plays in naismith.

Vintage GOT. I should vault all the experts who kept claiming "it's only pre-season"...

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I like McGeady. You can see the quality is there.

No one would be writing him off if his name was McGeadinho or McGeadiovic.

Erm, that's one assist then.

It was a good ball to Coleman but it wasn't magic, and it still goes down as one assist.

Just don't think that's quite true, mate.

A lot of people slated Deulofeu.

I never said it was magic, and I never said he got two assists. It was a very tidy bit of play to turn away from his marker and drive into vacated space and play a pass for the second goal.

I know it's all about workrate and tracking back for you. IMO - and his managers more importantly - it's all about chances created and taken. Three games in the lad has decent stats to justify the faith placed in him.

It's not all about work rate and tracking back, but that's half the game.

Were Chelsea any better than us in possession yesterday? Not in my opinion. But there's a reason they're title favourites and we aren't, because the whole team defends solidly as a unit.

Not one great team has had lazy players who weren't ridiculously talented, which McGeady isn't.
