A bigger game for wales than it is for us.
If we play for a draw it could go pear shaped big time, so not tooo confident.
We will miss Brady I fear.
They are playing the side that beat Belgium.

Little bit disappointed with the non-selection of McGeady (wow what a turnaround) but it seems like we are going for the draw. Not a fan of Walters on the right either.
Might line up in a 4-1-3-2 when in possession?
Can't really fault it but kind of fear that team. Negatives...
Nothing on the bench. I think McGeady usually.needs to grow into a game, Long need to be unleashed.
McCarthy doesn't do his best work with Whelan present.
McCarthy out,
Meyler IN
Here we go boys!
COYBIG!
hoping for a good performance and if we deliver that and wales still win then fair play.
Meyler is not a negative really.
Is Bale worth more than the entire Irish team?
20 pages of build up, and nothing on the match. Sums it up so far. Uninspiring
Ward >> Bale
We ban their brass band, and hire our own.
Why???
Going pretty much how I expected.
Wales tidy in possession up yo final third, then nothing.
Ireland toxic in possession, Whelan particularly bad. Doesn't seem to know how to turn around with the ball at his feet. Ward and McClean probably brightest. Ward at least looking for the ball and bollocking Glenn out of it.
Everyone else playing 6/10 exactly how they normally play.
Get Whelan off for McGeady wide right, Coleman is isolated out there as Walters is playing up front when we have possession.
Not that funny really. McCarthy's best position is sacrificed a bit when Whelan plays. Whelan plays centrally because he can't really play anywhere else. McCarthy is therefore thrown to the left or right of diamonds or other such unnatural positions. He was very good in games against Sweden (WC), Germany, Italy and France, in particular, on the rare times Whelan has been absent/sacrificed. It doesn't excuse McCarthy completely for not performing better in certain roles but his performance level is generally better in a more predominantly central position.
