Absolutely, he played well before Pato was taken off on the RHS, but simply cannot take his man on the outside because on the wrong foot so always cuts in. Once Pato went off and he switched to LHS the difference was clear, balls cut back from the byline are always more difficult to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still excellent match and two assists the boy done good. As others have said , good to see him on the left . When he plays on the right he tends to cut in and often loses possession. Well done Callum , becoming un droppable. Harsh - was a great run to get there and a great save ! Edit - might be thinking of a different chance.

Garland-sweden Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 A very good and tricky player. Good he scored vs Palace, his end product now better, confidence. Seems he likes it on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love his style and direct approach and has worked on his final ball which gave him many critics last term. Man of the Match performance today according to reports. i thought he had a poorish game for his standard tbh, well up until the 65th min then never put a foot wrong, way too many misplaced passes in the first half though did put the cross over for reids goal.

Port Said Red Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I don't think you can discount the fact that McGeady was playing for Sunderland today as an additional incentive for him to do well. He is trying to get ahead of him for the ROI side so you would imagine that any Irish scouts watching today would have been comparing their performances.

Bar BS3 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 It’s great to finally see COD actually impacting on the goals & assists front. If he can be consistent in this area of his game, then he has the other attributes to be a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Callum`s performances for the ROI, particularly the MOM one v Georgia(?) have made the lad believe he can be that good. He`s never looked a player that is short on confidence to me but if he read what was being said after that game he must have been so pleased and that has to be a good thing. It`s obvious from what he`s said in the past that Martin O`Neill rates him and sees him as one of the key players in the country`s future. McGeady`s 31 now so probably has the next WC and possibly the next Euros in him but I think Callum will get more and more international game time in the future.

He always cuts inside when playing on the right as he’s so left footed. Play him on the left and we’ll get him going outside his man and crossing like he did for Djuric’s goal yesterday. I’m sure Paterson could cope with playing on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his dad saying a lot of things that seemed odd at the time and now seem down right actionable in retrospect. Meanwhile his wonderful son was an unused sub for a mid-table league one side yesterday, whilst a team consisting of many players he criticised or claimed were unhappy, moved into 4th in the Championship. I guess just being ITK is no good if you bring an agenda with your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Have said for ages I like him better on the left. Only problem is Pato looks nowhere near as good on the right. Though if Milan is playing probably better to go COD on left and maybe Eliasson or Brownhill on the right. Remember some saying Eliasson was rubbish against Burton, not great but did look to get crosses in. Think he could thrive with a target to aim for like Djuric.

Can see the natural talent in both. What I like about Callum is he has all the unteachable things. He is big, strong and athletic. He needed work on his technique and help pushing his football IQ like where to be defensively. Eliasson doesn’t have the physical attributes of Callum. He is a bit smaller and slighter and that is fine. He is quick though. Looks like he has that quick first step on the ball that can leave a defender struggling to get back. Plus, I think he has an excellent cross on him from both sides but particularlly when he cuts back on it from the right side. He doesn’t appear to have the natural work rate as Callum imo either which is why I think he is being brought along slowly. Maybe a bit more like a Paterson style winger than an O’Dowda style winger as well with a bit more comfort staying wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I don't listen to many of the interviews but I just listened to Callums post match and was quite shocked. He has the Irish name and I think he looks very Irish to my eyes, but he has a very well spoken English voice and sounds a very bright chap. Must be the Oxford influence.

While only one game and I'm certainly not going to use it as a way to write him off, his crossing against Stoke was atrocious. That said, he beat their defenders with ease every time.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Was thinking earlier- so happy for him. Last season, he was working hard but it wasn't quite falling for him- in a struggling team, he wasn't quite there. I remember he hit the bar approaching half time v Norwich in what was arguably- 2nd half anyway- early stages of our revivial. Might have started clicking for him a bit sooner had that gone in.
