Aiden McGeady

McGeady for the simple reason he has played more games, they have outshined each other in individual games.

 

Ye im another one who would agree with most of that and i see there are a few people who have agreed with you!

Was thinking about tht they other day, if you take his dribbling away from his game you aren't left with very much more!

 

Well there you go. It's nothing to do with not being able to see past McGeady, we can only go by the form they've shown and McGeady has been our best player this season.

 

Ok that's your opinion but its quite strange, Hinkel is a full back and has provided more assists on that side than McGeady and has played less games......

 

Ye there is no doubt he has been the best dribbler this season lol!

 

I know how much you adore Maloney because everytime someone has a dig at him or says McGeady is better you come out of know where to defend him, but the fact is McGeady's better and has been our best player this season. Fact.

 

Yes Hinkel has been one of our best players this season as well and has chipped in with his fair share of assists. Usually due to McGeady drifting inside creating space for him to run down the line and put in a cross. When Maloney's fit again I expect him to get a start on the left with McGeady on the right but I still think, along with the majority, that McGeady is the better player.

 

No its not a fact mate, everyone is entitled to their opinions and you have made yours and a few people have disagreed with yours.

 

Well there have been a few people agreeing with gunt's view of the 2 players and so far you are in the minority. Why don't you go through thoses aspects and give your view on them?

 

Maloney hasn't been miles better at
- football brain/decision making (I'd class as one attribute not two separate ones)
- shooting
- deadball situation
- team player
this season, in his player of the year season then yes I'd agree, but he's been nowhere near as good since he's came back imo.

How many times have we seen Maloney just run in to the defenders - is that not just as selfish as McGeady holding on to the ball for too long?

Also, if things aren't working for Maloney he tends to be pretty anonymous and appears to not put in quite the same effort imo, which is not being a model professional and better teammate.

There are a lot of aspects of McGeady's game he has to work on and improve, but this season he's been much better than Maloney.

 

Would be strange if he wasn’t far better than Maloney given that he has played far more games…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

All he is good for in my honest opinion is running around in circles trying to beat players. If you think about their POTY season’s Maloney was far superior and if he can get back to fitness and get a good run of games to get his confidence back I’m sure we will see him back to that form. <o></o>

 

Well it is a fact. He's been the better player and not only most of the fans would agree but the pundit's and people who work in football would tell you that McGeady has been the better player. For you to even try and tell me that Maloney has been better is quite funny.

A few people agreeing to what gunt says? Surprise surprise you and Marilouise. There was a thread called McGeady v Maloney a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure McGeady had twice as many votes as Maloney so I think it's you who's in the minority.

 

Before Maloney got injured I thought McGeady was still the better of the two this season.

Maloney hasn't shown any of his form of his POTY season since he's came back to us, saying he was a better player in 2005/06 is of little relevance now 4 seasons later.

 

And how many times have whiz past them? You have a short memory...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
I don’t see how you can say running into a defender on an odd occasion is selfish… Im sure you have went on before about our players lack of movement off the ball so perhaps that has something to do with him why he tries to beat player and sometimes doesn't work out for him, the same way as it doesn't always work out for McGeady either! <o></o>

 

No its not a fact mate, its an OPINION! What gunt said was in general, now about this season!!! Now that’s all I’m going to say because this is a McGeady thread nothing more, all I done was agree with gunt! You and Dannighirl can debate on and on an on……………<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

I'd totally agree with that, however, people ignore the fact that Maloney often runs straight in to the defenders yet highlight the fact that McGeady tries to beat his man again and again.

Both can be caused by a lack of movement in the team, my issue is the fact that it's only considered a negative for McGeady by several posters on here.

Both players have many aspects of their game that they need to improve on, hoever, imo McGeady has been the better player this season - even before Maloney got injured.

 

So when does something become fact then? McGeady's been the better player this season, that is a fact and I don't know how you can even try and say that he hasn't been.

DanniGhirl and myself have nothing to debate. We know who the better player is. You just can't see past Maloney.

This poll was done before Maloney got injured.

As kierancfc said, gunt simply posted a general view, it didn't say anywhere that he has been a better player this season and if you read back you will see that no one has actually said Maloney has been better than McGeady this season so you are therefore creating an argument that isn't there, either that or you have an inability to read! You have made it clear that other people's opinion's don't count and what you say seems to be fact all the time.

 

not to far ,fantastic idea ha ha1 of the funniest things ive read here.

 

So if your saying McGeady has been the better player this season what's your point??

And not what I say is fact all the time but it is a fact that McGeady has been better than Maloney.

Why do you have such a strong feeling towards Maloney and why when someone has a dig at him you start having a go? Just because someone doesn't agree with you.
