Slovakia v Ireland - Euro 2021 Play-Off Semi-Final - Thursday October 8

I agree Idah is nowhere near good enough but Connolly will be a stalwart for us over the next decade, more than capable of delivering and i’m sticking with my call that he will get us a penalty at some stage tomorrow night!

To be honest I completely disagree with basically every comment you make on Connolly so there’s no point in continuing this discussion

Mcclean better than Connolly? Mcclean is struggling to get into stoke team.

If Spock is committed to possession based football he won’t have a carthorse like McClean near the team. He’s somewhat acceptable if you are following the template of recent managers of chasing hoofs up the field and winning throw ins

I think Connolly will be a mainstay in the team for many years. Idah is more likely to be a squad player.

I think it wont take a whole lot to become a mainstay in this team given the talent at our disposal.

Agree on Idah.

This is a huge season for Connolly tho - if he gets 10+ goals and a few assists - that will have been a good season for him you’d have to say.

They are not ready for international football

you mean they aren’t good enough for international football

He could have been a top top rugby player.

McClean isn’t limited in what the current Irish team need . Grit , hard work , cut and he can get a goal . Until we have better and a better system I would start him .

Egan and Duffy really need a protector too and I am not sure if we have another Glenn Whelan yet .

Is yerman from Napoli allowed to play this do you know?

McCarthy is a Rolls Royce version of Whelan.

No idea.

This lads usually fairly on the ball

Balls, sneaky Slovaks

That twitter handle :eyes:

By god.

Idah isn’t ready yet to start for Ireland but Connolly most definitely is. Starting regularly enough in the Premier League and a threat as well with his pace. If he develops more of an end product then he’ll be a great player for Ireland.

Aidan McGeady should be starting ahead of Connolly - Spock out
