Is that not fatal?

I missed the last 15 minutes of the game but he wasnt as prominent in the 2nd half. He showed some nice bits of skill and worked hard though. Overall it was a very encouraging performance from him.If he continues like the way he played tonight we are gonna have a serious player on our hands

Not necessarily if you amputate in time

Pleasantly surprised he's started so well out there. Fair play to the guy. His career could well have turned gangerous without this kind of shot in the arm.

am I not right in saying that we want him to perform at this level when he comes up against the best Slovakia has to offer in the next couple of weeks?

Well if the 2 players u are talkin about are either the left back or left winger then they will prob be dropped after the roasting they were given last night

McGeady was voted 2nd best player in the game on Tuesday (Sovietsky Sport) behind the Brazilian Ari, who bagged 2 goals. The Slovakians weren't so bad but they came to get a draw and break quickly - like the International team, but Spartak were rampant in awful conditions and a pretty massive support on the night. McGeady is a firm favourite with the fans and talking to a few at the ground the other night they were really happy with his arrival. They'd lost a couple of good players (Pletikosa, Jiranek) and Karpin was under pressure, McGeady has really turned it around. Zenit will run away with the league, though getting into the knockout stage of the CL is what the locals want. Have to say though, horrific scenes at the stadium the other night. I was shocked to see stewards kicking lumps out of a fan lying unconscious on the ground, plus ticketing was a joke - people there put into whatever seats were free, and there were seriously dangerous crushes at the gates coming in. I hope they'll have it in order for the Ireland game (if they play it in the Luzhniki) but it's showing how crap the stadium is!

McGeady should start in the next Irish games, and let him wander from the right to left wings - he was brilliant on Tuesday.

Over Duff or Lawrence, no chance.

For years we have seen McGeady put in great performances for Celtic and it hasnt carried through to the green jersey. Whereas Duff and Lawrence have. I think he can be used as an impact sub, but he doesnt deserve a start over the other two above imo.

The ante is being upped for positions.

I would agree with you on his past performances for Ireland, though he seems to be playing with complete confidence at the moment. I was really surprised how he fitted in so well with the one touch game. For the Russian game I'd start him, it would be something that could pay dividends as the Russian defence is awful!

**Crosby87** · 30/09/2010, 12:18 PM

Now he is brilliant already!! LMFAO. This place is fun sometimes, A guy scores he is the second coming. No goals for a week and we should be trying to convince some Australian who plays on Mars to come over and replace him.
