Could be 4-3-2-1 with McClean and Long in a Walters type role playing off Murphy
Where did creativity ever get us?
Bankrupt?
Strange team.
We will batter em.
Looks like Duffy is going to use his pace to step into midfield and become a deep lying playmaker in the Pirlo mould. Fantastic ballsy decision from MONKEANO.
Much better pre match coverage on TV3, bizarrely enough. Souness is a great pundit.
Is Dunphy locked?
They keep reading the team sheet, can’t be that fucking hard to remember the team.
John O’Shea can’t be fatigued he’s a centre half
Dunphy is talking shite…Wes was knackerd after 20 mins against Belgium
Doesn’t fit in with his system.
Four Ulster lads in the starting XI.
He seems out of it. Couldn’t believe that he was asked what he thought the formation will be. Imagine asking a soccer pundit that before a game.
What the fuck is O’Kneel playing at with that team? We’re fucked.
HOOF!!!
body is valid
Ireland 2-0 Italy.
McCarthys best performance in qualifying came against Germany when playing in that deep role that Whelan normally plays, he was outstanding that night. We will need him to be closer to that form and not what he showed over the past two games but it is hard to see it happening
