Hendrick hasnāt put in a good performance since the euros.
This āDidsyā lad is a 32 year old journeyman striker who doesnāt score goals.
And still starts up front for a top half premiership team.
Shane Long has been blackguarded
Absolutely
It feels like the International equivalent of when Stoke started trying to play a bit of football after Tony Pulis departed.
We need to go back to Jacks geggenpress
Kenny Cunningham āFood for thought was the overriding thought process at the of the gameā.
Vital for the one v one situations
Ah come on. Shane Long has been absolutely terrible for Ireland mostly apart from when heās an impact sub or in a 2 up front
And yet still better that the parade of shite weāve been put through (possibly Didsy aside) over the last 3 or more years.
Heās really not
Oh yes he is
Would brady be a better left back than Stevens? Stevens use of the ball is terrible.
In the same way that James McCarthy or Harry Arter were going to be a big improvement coming back in. Just the classic player getting better when they donāt play
No.
Brady always gives these great cameo appearances - leads to lots of sound bites about him needing to start the next day - He starts and then has a stinkerā¦ rinse, repeat.
Seems amazing Josh Cullen didnt make the squad. A Kenny type player. Be interesting to see will he play for West Ham the weekend.
Looks a mile off full fitness anyway.
Stevens and Doherty both play best as wing backs with a back three. Doherty especially is very effective from that role. I think youāre not gonna get nearly as much out of either man in a back four
Shane doesnt hold it up and bring others into play - heās a great man to chase a ball down a dead alley or go after a hopeless cause - lots of huff and puff. But that day has passedā¦
