Not sure but he set up the opening goal.
edit: the BBC report has it wrong, it was McCarthy who shot and the keeper parried it to Naismith
How did he play?

From what I saw, McGeady controlled the rebound from the goalie and laid it on for Naismith.
He played alright on the night. Probably will start against Liverpool. It's hard to say if he's match fit enough to play in such an encounter. Probably would seem a bit tame compared to some of the high profile derbies he's been involved in, it's more a matter if he can catch up with the pace of the game.
On now for Barkley
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
He's just cranked a beauty against the post. Cut in from the right onto his left foot inside the box and belted one off the far post. Good start.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
He's been taking way too much out of the ball since.

Were you expecting any different tho?we are all aware of his game at this stage the everton fans might not be tho!
I'm pointing it out for the benefit of those not watching.

Did he move central when they hooked barkley at half time for pienaar?
Sorry for the delay Mr Liamoo. It's a tough question to answer. His performance was a mix of great touches, some good passes and passages of play with some general sloppiness, over complication and ineffectiveness. Probably a touch more of the latter. 6.5/10.
He certainly played more centrally after the change but I wouldn't say he was switched to a central role.

Just say he lacked end product. Go on Stu, you know you want to.
Haha! I can't do it.

Despite much effort and graft, an impotent performance then?

Why not let the wee man speak for himself? he's not shy to give a fair appraisal of his efforts.
Getting up to full speed.
“I was obviously a little bit apprehensive at the start, a little bit nervous,” McGeady told evertontv. “In the first half I thought I did okay and the second half I probably let myself down a couple of times. But I kept going to the end and I’m just happy that we won.
“It was a great first game for me – not because I played great, because I didn’t – but because the team ultimately won and that’s the main thing.
“There were a few little things I was disappointed with. If I was on my game I know I wouldn’t have done those things, but I can’t be too harsh on myself because I need to bide my time and be patient. Hopefully in the coming months I can get up to full speed.”

A pity Duff is retired. He was like an oasis of calm in a chaotic world with his ability to retain possession and win free kicks. He was also an excellent crosser and could find gaps McGeady is incapable of seeing.
If I was an opposition fan, Duff would definitely be the Irish player that would have me screaming at the TV.

"Failing to take chances, however, has been a recurring theme of the 27-year-old's career whose return of just three goals from 63 internationals has left a succession of Irish managers, from Brian Kerr to Giovanni Trapattoni, scratching their heads in frustration.
If only this was their sole concern, but other shortcomings, namely his dubious decision-making and substandard crossing, have left him at a stage in his career where instead of reaching his peak, he is still trying to convince."
