5 times i've seen him between senior and u21 games. each one a stinkerOriginally Posted by drinkfeckarse
Still no logic really Pablo, sure I've seen every top player have a stinker and it doesn't make me doubt their quality. McGeady can still come good, I'm sure like most players it's probably just a confidence issue.
That wasn't difficult to be fair. Well I assume you are talking about Irish players they were all pretty much muckOriginally Posted by Pablo
He's a skillful lad, who can change a game, he's obviously very young and confidence is a key factor especially at this early stage of his career. He'll hopefully come good though.

What games were they? France is one, 4 more. His game against France was poor but every game he has played this season has been pretty poor by his standards. I can't believe an Irish person would be biased against McGeady because of the club he plays for. Or maybe its because he's keeping Kearney out of the team? And don't say you aren't being biased, its pretty obvious. Also, there are very few people who would have seen McGeady play 5 poor games and none good.Originally Posted by Pablo
Especially at U21 level. On his debut against Bulgaria he set up 2 goals and was apparantly by far and away the best player on the pitch. Involved in everything:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=1678...lgaria+mcgeadyI was at match last Night, McGeady was Phenomonal!! he is so naturally talented..
2nd game was against Cyprus:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=1727...cyprus+mcgeadyExceptional performance by McGeady tonight for the U21s. He shouldnt have too much trouble making the transition to Senior level judging by this perfomance. He turned the Cyriots inside out and made use of the ball everytime. His service was top notch and created a few chances for himself. Was a class apart. Willo Flood, Glenn Whelan, Paddy McCarthy and Kevin Doyle were well worth a mention also.
No thread on the Switzerland game but McGeady was fouled in the box and scored from the resulting penalty.
He was apparantly the only Irish player to play well in Israel (according to an Israeli on soccer central who was at the game). Also this:
http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=2336...israel+mcgeadyWas at the game and we were dire, McGeady apart, I can't see anyone from this team making it as a senior player in the top division in England let alone making the move up to the seniors.
And back home to Ireland for the return against Israel:

McGeady gave a masterclass on the wing. Had their left back - who was sent off late-on for two yellows - in his pocket the whole night.
His last game for the U21's was against France which he played poor in. Drop the bias ffs.
