Same with reading mcshane, kelly(?), and meyler starting unlikely to be first choice for us. Nice to See o Brien Scorecard for millwall Nyt where does he fit for Us?

For this season our probable striking set-up is basically Long, Walters plus two/three from Maguire, Hogan, McGoldrick, O'Brien, Robinson and Burke. Maguire is likely the prime candidate for one of the spots based on his form last season, but will be out injured for the next couple of international games so this may open the door for the others to impress. It will be one of MON's challenges to choose the best options from that group.

Coleman is wrong for Everton.

[tetsujin1979]

Today's question:
Name the two Irish players who played in the Premier League 2017/18 season but have not played senior international football for Ireland

[SkStu]

Obafemi at Southampton is one.

[SkStu]

Josh Cullen the other?

[tetsujin1979]

Obafemi at Southampton is one.


Josh Cullen the other?

yep, well done! I've been updating the stats for the Premier League on the site over the summer, and now I'm confident on the appearance data I have for all Premier League seasons. With that in mind, I checked out what Irish players have played in the Premier League, and have not (yet) earned a senior international cap. There's 42 altogether, including Obafemi and Cullen: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog?id=3079832700603167034

[samhaydenjr]

Coleman is wrong for Everton.

Ah! I thought he had scored since his injury - Then James McCarthy

[tetsujin1979]

Ah! I thought he had scored since his injury - Then James McCarthy
Yep, correct

[tetsujin1979]

Today's question: when was the last time Ireland named a starting XI of players who have played in the Premier league
Hint: it was under the current manager

What are you on about Tets? Irish football is screwed and all our players are League One, Championship and the odd smattering of LOI. O'Neill wasn't in charged for Italia 90.

[tetsujin1979]

Before the new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow, I wondered how many times an Ireland team has been named with 11 starting players who have played in the top division in England: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog?id=9145708275780745828

[tetsujin1979]

Final question before the new premier league season starts, when was the last time Ireland named a starting XI of players who were all at premier league clubs?
Hint: it hasn't happened under the current, or previous manager

[tetsujin1979]

Jake Doyle Hayes in midfield with Glenn Whelan and Conor Hourihane away to Yeovil in the EFL Cup.

[tetsujin1979]

Liverpool played a "second XI" vs "expected to leave (either loan or sale)" training game yesterday, Corey Whelan and Conor Masterson were on the "expected to leave" side: https://www.football365.com/news/liverpool-training-rout-gives-insight-into-klopp-plans


Liverpool ‘home’ XI: Karius, Clyne, Phillips, Matip, Moreno, Fabinho, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Sturridge, Solanke

Liverpool ‘away’ XI: Mignolet, Whelan/Virtue, Masterson, Johnston, Lewis, Chirivella, Christie-Davis, Grujic, Markovic, Jones, Origi

[Bungle]

Masterson is just back from injury. He is highly rated by klopp. The general feeling of Red's fans is that he is more highly rated than Philips, but by all accounts Philips had an excellent pre-season.

[DeLorean]

Daryl Murphy's first booking since 2015

That's pretty amazing! Given his natural attributes, he could have probably done with a bit more devilment.

[seanfhear]

That's pretty amazing! Given his natural attributes, he could have probably done with a bit more devilment.I’d genuinely be wrongly booked more in that amount of time not to mention the correct amount of times .

[DeLorean]

Yeah, especially competing for headers where elbows are flying, like Murphy would be.

[tetsujin1979]

I know, I had to double check it myself, he was booked against Wales in October, but this is club level only
