I'm a bit new to this site but here's my thoughts on the "boys in green" and the different positional options - that's if anybody is interested.
Starting at the back I think Ian Harte should keep his place - mainly because of the lack of alternatives but I also feel he doesn't deserve the amount of flak he's been getting.
I think John O'Shea is a MUST. He HAS to start - if he doesn't there should be a public inquiry. He's looked fantastic this season and with Ferdinand rumoured to be out for 6 weeks he's going to get more and more top-flight action. Plus, Gary Breen's having a stinker of a season so O'Shea is the man.
Now here's my controversial one - what about Rory Delap on the right side of midfield. I know his form for Ireland has been patchy but he's been doing the business for Southampton so maybe he deserves another chance?!!?
Upfront I strongly feel Duff is wasted - he's one of the best leftwingers around and to play him out of position is a sin.
So here's my suggested 11:
Given
Carr/Finnan/Kelly Harte
OShea Cunningham
Delap Holland Kinsella Duff
Morrison Keane
Now on paper that looks like a pretty good team. BTW I think Holland's close to losing his place to Colin Healy. So, what do ye think?
