Aiden McGeady

[KK77]

An average enough player imo. A very good move for him though and Roberto might be the manager to get more out of him if there is more there. Time will tell.

Few thoughts on McGeady's move for anyone interested.....

Good point about Martinez and Maloney.

“His situation is that he hasn’t done anything for six weeks,” adds Martinez. “That means he has been de-trained a little bit.

“But he has been working on his own and keeping himself fit so he has been getting a lot of benefit straight away. Every session you can see him getting sharper.

“Regaining his match fitness is going to be all-important. It’s a little bit too early to say but I see the mentality is right and he is ready to help the team straight away. Physically we are going to have to bide our time and assess every session how he develops.

“Every session makes a big difference and that is down to his personal natural fitness.”

In paper that he is starting tonight, 4/1 to score on his debut, very tempting!

Yes seen that, damn

[BonnieShels]

McGeady on for Oviedo.

[tricky_colour]

Quite début, managed to get a McGeady spin in though.

[geysir]

Afaics he got on the ball about 5 times and didn't fck up. On one occasion he breezed by one midfielder as if he wasn't there and laid on a good attacking move. He looked at home and to have the freshness of a 22 year old.

Sky's verdict.

Was busy but didn't threaten on debut

He did put in one of his vintage McGeady crosses though, all the time in the world and it barely lifted from the ground. It actually could have turned out dangerous though, as the first West Brom player seemed to misjudge it, but it drifted harmlessly wide as no Everton player had gambled at the back post.

Mcgeady looked like he was trying to win over the crowd early with a few unncessary flicks and tricks. He was involved but as usual when it mattered it came to nothing. He had a chance to play lukaku through on goal and he hit it too hard, and he had another chance to cross and his usual awful low doesnt get off the ground. I can see the Everton fans getting frustrated by him quickly especially if Barkley isn't back in soon and they are as facile as they were last night.

I probably missed that attempted cross. Overall I think he'll do grand. He looked competent on the ball cutting inside.
I don't get the obsession the EPL has with crosses, getting the winger to hit it in high into the box.
Norwich kept pumping the ball into the box against Hull last Saturday, when their actual strength is with the ball on the ground.

[DeLorean]

Of all the managers going I don't think Martinez is too fussed about crosses. That said, it opened up nicely for McGeady and with Lukaku to aim for, it was a bit of a waste.

If he could manage to do something productive today week at Anfield it would help win over a few doubters no end. The nature of his game is always going to make him an easy target when things aren't going well though.

[geysir]

He has to meet his own and Martinez's standards, that should be enough for the needs of Everton. Even when players have a good game, it's part of the addictive process that doubters will find/invent something to justify having their doubts

XI del Everton: Robles, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka (c),
McGeady, Oviedo, Mirallas, Naismith, McCarthy,
Barry, Stones.

Starts today. Stevenage should be SPL level so should be familiar for him

Same principle applies to one of his old Rangers nemises, Steven Naismith, who has managed to bag two. That doesn't happen too often.

Yeah but Naismith doesn't come with the recommendation of Messi and Xavi.
