I'm sure we can all agree that Roy is a certain starter for the qualifiers but who plays beside him is the big question. Holland is probably who Kerr will go with but a lot of us think there are better options. Most of you will know from reading my posts that Kavanagh is my preferred choice because of his work rate and high goals, passing and tackling success rate.
So who do you think would be the best player to partner Keane in the centre?
Graham kavanagh is good but id go for liam miller.
Holland, Miller and Keane in midfield with Duff having the free role. Connolly and Keane up front. O'Shea, O'Brien, Cunningham and Carr at the back. And Given in goals obviously. :ball:
Where's Kilbane....

This A. N. Other is a popular selection, who does he plan for?
Some up and coming youngster no doubt.
Looks like he is "Another" and the vote leader.Quote:

Cheers.
yeah has to be kilbane for me. The way he played in centre mid when he was given the chance put him forward for the position. To me his only real competitor is Matt but would rather the forward runs of kilbane with keane doing the dog work
The best option is Ried in the middle with Keane and Miller on the right. Or Miller in the middle and Ried on the right.
The only other possible option is Miller or Ried in the middle and Finnan or Carr on the right.
Forget Holland, Kilbane, Carsley, Breen and friends, they are proven failures who could not get us our of a **** easy group for the Euro qualifiers.
Wheres Kilbane?
voted other...Kilbane has shown recently that he's worth a look.
Trigger! :p
I went for Kilbane too (Other!). He looked good in the middle for Ireland in whatever friendly it was. Not ideal but he's ahead of the other options for me.
He's probably on holidays somewhere.Quote:

The " donkey " is our best option in the centre as nobody else has really grasped the position have they ? In the couple of friendlies he played there he added energy which was badly missing with matty in the centre
That donkey is not our best option. He is a hopeless passer of the ball, has no creativity and does not have the ability to go around a man. He might run alot but thats not what we need. Ried or Miller have the talent to open up a defence, Kilbane does not, end of story.Quote:

Reid played against Canada in the centre of midfield and had his best ever performance for Ireland.Quote:

Taylor, a success in a Burnley team where two wingers provided him with a plentiful supply of crosses, now plays ahead of a midfield diamond where the best crosser, Andy Reid, is often in a central role.
What are all the raving reviews for Kilbane based on? A couple of halves in friendly matches? Kevin Kilbane, international class centre-midfielder? Pull the other leg!
