Stephen Kenny isn’t a good manager and needs to be replaced

Who’s going to replace the suspended Josh Cullen at the base of the Irish midfield?
Stop it. Who comes in for Cullen? Hendrick? Send the taxi and the wd40 for glenn whelan?
I’m predicting
Coleman in for the Doc
Hendrick into midfield
Maybe a start for Brady instead of Vol McClean
This is a relegation six pointer, isn’t it? The nation will be on tenterhooks tomorrow night.

I’d have Glenn Whelan in there for experience
Replaced with who exactly?
Where’s James McCarthy at?
A draw will do us.
WASU.

Rotting in the Celtic reserves. But he’s playing out his boyhood dream to be fair to him.
I can still recall the roar that greeted James McCarthy as came on as a substitute against Macedonia in March 2011 to make his competitive debut for Ireland. The reality didn’t quite match the hype.
In a parallel world, Ireland reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup with the experienced elder statesman Stephen Ireland, ageing like a fine wine, controlling the midfield alongside McCarthy, who was fulfilling his early promise as the next Pelé, with Jack Grealish sprinkling his stardust and the indefatigable young gun Declan Rice belying his youth by channelling Paul McGrath. A golden era.

Caparros is building something really special, sure didn’t they beat Ireland 1-0 last year
Barring his performances at Euro 2016where he was excellent, he has really been a huge disappointment in an Ireland jersey.
2016 was the peak of a lot of those lads careers. Hendrick and Robbie Brady never kicked on at all
Bazunu
Collins, Egan, O’Shea
Coleman, Molumby, Hendrick, Knight, Brady
Obafemi, Ogbene

It’s a real retrograde step going back to Coleman at this stage. His legs are completely gone and he basically offers nothing now. He was a fine player tbf.
