He doesn't have the greatest football brain, that's for sure, but his pace can cause no end of damage at times. Patrice Evra always struggled to deal with him.

I like the sound of the new Lennon-McGeady combo up on Merseyside. I've always been more of a Kinks man myself.
To be fair to the man I often adopt that particular pose myself.
There's usually a bar counter under my elbow at the time though.
Back on the bench today for Everton.
McCarthy and Coleman start, Gibson still injured
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Martin O'Neill said in Press Conference that it's up to McGeady essentially whether he feels he can start or not.

Of course he's going to say yes.
O'Neill has to make the decision. Start McClean. He's better anyway. Walters was going to start no matter what so that makes the decision a bit easier.

Enigma of Aiden McGeady to tease Ireland fans once more against Scotland
Just watched it on the news: http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/live/7/
He has been left out as a precaution

If McGeady could frustrate opposing Teams as much as he frustrates a lot of Irish Fans then we would be a lot happier.
Quite liked that article, minus one or two lines - kind of hits at why he's so simultaneously frustrating but endearing.
Sometimes I think our attacker(s) don't do another to read what he's doing. For instance, he nearly always stands the ball up to the penalty spot/back post when he hits the by-line close in. He did that against England on Sunday - beautiful ball across goal - but Murphy and McGoldrick had both drifted to the near post.
They're not the only ones. A decent McGeady delivery to a space no one is attacking is a regular feature of our games.

Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Anyone else think McGeady could stand to lose some weight?

He's just stocky
I know he packed on the pounds after things went pear shaped at Spartak, that comfort eating's a killer! He didn't look particularly out of shape to me on Sunday so maybe it's just an unfortunate photo. He really shouldn't allow himself to put on weight like that if it's not.
It's just a bad photo. You can see that the jersey is hovering or superficially raised at the back by his movement/body position, which makes him look much wider or bulkier than he actually is. It's also a bad angle and reminds me of that photo of overweight Andy Reid in a stride for Sunderland. Andy Reid was actually overweight in the photo, but the angle and his body position just made it look so much worse.
If McGeady was actually that bloated, his head/neck should be a bit bigger and stockier as well, but as it is, it looks disproportionately small and lean compared to the exaggerated frame. There's no excess puppyfat around his face or neck which can be a good indicator as to whether or not someone's carrying a few excess pounds overall. Robbie notoriously had facial puppyfat in his younger days but has much less now, which is a sign of his overall superior condition.
I certainly didn't notice that McGeady looked overweight or even out of shape on Sunday either.
