He was a hell of a lot better than Deulofeu, who showed his inexperience, naivety and lack of physical strength by getting knocked off the ball several times. He tried, but ultimately didn't deliver much. Hell, even Barkley got knocked off the ball too easily and McGeady was definitely better than both today.
McGeady is a decent player and with a couple of starts I can see him becoming a valuable and integral part of the team. And anyone who says the Irish don't like him or rate him. He was playing under Trap for Ireland in a sh!t system, and while he may not have enjoyed too many MotM performances, he certainly didn't let himself down in the green jersey. I'm Irish, I like the lad and I do rate him. He's no Ronaldo, Messi or Bale, but he's got talent and will prove his worth to the club.
