Just interested to see how people rank the players in terms of importance, not necessarily who is the best player but which players are the least replaceable.
For me it would be
1. Robbie Keane: By far our biggest goal threat.
2. Given
3. Dunne
4. Duff: there is definitely a lack of imagination in our creative side of the game when he doesn't play.
5. O' Shea
6. Whelan: Gets a bit of stick but I think he is a solid player and the alternatives like Gibson don't inspire me with confidence.
7. Doyle: probably our hardest working player but his goal scoring record could be better, still does an important job for us.
8. Ledger
9. Lawrence: would have ranked him higher but I think we have good cover for our wingers in Hunt & McGeady.
10. Andrews.
11. Kilbane: Was a great servant to his country but at the moment I don't think there is much difference between Kilbane and the alternatives.
