McClean's crossing which is normally blast it 500 miles an hour, low and hard hit the first man but it was the best crossing I've ever seen from him last night. 

Pity he scuffed the chance where he seemed to be a bit off balance but at least he's getting in the right areas. 

There's no guarantee Connolly would've done much better and McClean justified his selection.

But last night he was ok, the yellow card was typical of him, he has possession of the ball, gives it away cheaply, chases it down and commits a foul resulting in a yellow.

All in all a pass but thats it.


Stoke have played 8 games this season and he has played in 5 of those games, he also suffered a hand\arm injury too.

29/8 efl game - played 90 mins vs blackpool
12/9 championship game - not in squad
17/9 efl game - played 90 mins vs wolves 
20/9 championship game - not in squad 
23/9 efl game - played 90 mins vs Gillingham 
26/9 championship game - plays 65mins 
01/10 elf game - not in squad 
04/10 championship game - played 9 mins 

So of the 5 games he played, three were efl games which were pretty much warm up games where O'Neil played fringe players like collins etc.

Hes played 2 championship games one for 65mins and one for 9mins.

Injury had nothing to do with him not playing any of these games.

My point is that he is not selected for games due to form.

Not in the Stoke squad today, don't think he's injured.

Good news is that collins starts, keeps a clean sheet and gets an assist

I get the impression that Michael O'Neill was happy to rely on him last season, since he knew he was just the sort of experienced battler needed to get them out of a relegation dogfight.

But this season, although he's kept McClean in the squad (good trainer etc), he probably doesn't suit the style of play Michael is trying to build in his team, as he gradually weeds out the bottlers he inherited and replaces them with players of his own choice.

Gets a start for Stoke today which is really good to see.

I not a massive fan of mcclean but a lot of out players are not starting and he'll be in the next squad, it'll be a real problem if players are not getting game time. Hourihane as a case in point.

Collins also starts which Is good

Hourihane definitely a worry given that Kenny seems set on him. No game time in 4 club matches. Strikes me as a confidence player too, so sitting on the bench a big worry.

Strange that he doesn't make the squad one week and then starts the game the next week.

Reminds me of the other O'Neill who dropped Keogh and then starts the game as captain the next game

There's all sorts of squad rotation across the divisions.

Really? didn't know that, he's very rarely injured, and when he is injured, he still plays!
