Think I was watching a different game to most on here last. I thought McGeady did well defensively, and was tracking back a lot. He put a real shift in and is a really intelligent player. Most of the time he loses the ball trying to do something a bit different, thinking outside of the box, so although its frustrating, I dont mind so much. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as they say.
He can hold and carry the ball really well and is seemingly growing in confidence too. He sees passes that nobody else does. One to Mirallas in the first half in particular was so good that it seemed like everybody stopped.
As his confidence grows, so will his influence, and I think he will only get better. People just need to be patient and appreciate him for the type of player that he is, instead of continually wanting him to transform into another hardworking Jack of all trades midfield player.
