Won more challanges than any other player on the pitch.....made 5 interceptions in play ..more than the rest of iris team put together...go back to sleep now
OK I did miss his first half as my painkillers for my slipped disc in my neck dozed me off , but 20 minutes in the 2nd half I had to ask my son was MaCarthy playing? then he was subbed?
 

Some ridiculous comments on here.

McCarthy is a top player when played at DM and not alongside someone like Barry or Whelan.

Even if some dont rate him as highly as others i cant understand the comments to sell him??? Its a squad game !!!
 
Yawn....
His position is a defensive midfielder...
Irish media are constantly making Keane comparisons and it's just wrong. At Everton his job is to break up moves then lay it off, it should be the same for Ireland but we are limited full stop. Who does he lay it off too? I think he will do a job under Koeman as a hard running destroyer. The best players are those who stick to what they are best at and I think Ron will help him find his way again. His performance against Italy stood out because he wasn't playing alongside Whelan, another defensive mid. He ran himself into the ground to protect the defence but crucially, to give the ball into the more creative players. There is certainly a place for him at Goodison.

Agreed from Dundalk!
 

We are neighbours! His first season wasn't a fluke, he's a good player but needs to be given the correct role.
I think he's a class act but direction required.
Barry will be a lesser influence this year and an attacking mid alongside would be the way forward
Ever go to Oriel?

Never been to the Oriel nor have I watched much local football to be honest. Big GAA fan but always been an Everton fanatic from a childhood and not really sure why! Born not manufactured I suppose.
