Seriously our defence is as weak as the Germany game. We could get destroyed again. He obviously knows that we don't have much attacking threat down the wings and is looking for Coleman to be the out ball and provide crosses for Sammon. Interesting choice that one.
Think we are in for a hiding to be honest if Spain try to play at all.
I'd feel more comfortable with Delaney at CB over O'Dea and I just don't get playing a forward (Andy Keogh) at outside-left. Outside-right is bad enough. McClean or Stephen Quinn would be more obvious choices for that role. The team loses balance as a consequence.
Will settle for not getting humped.
A goal or a 0-0 would be a miracle. Albeit pretty pointless.
Espana with a minimum of 3-1. As luckily they should be more bothered about the C.C.?
This ain't a big game.Quote:

I think O'Dea has done okay-ish for us for the most part but would definitely have preferred to have Delaney there, or even Richard Keogh. Protection from midfield is minimal as well, really think he should have used Meyler alongside McCarthy with Hendrick more advanced. Andy Keogh's selection is daft.
They're running scared lads, 12 men in the Spanish starting line-up...

What is a "big goal"? Its only a big-game. And that was not a big game because we were trounced.
It could however, be a de facto big-game, an important goal, if we somehow end up level on points with austria and they suffer a big loss along the way....
Ya, CD is still winning on this one either way.
It was still a big game. Losing heavily doesn't reduce the significance of the game, but it does reduce the significance of the goal.
You might have to explain this one...Quote:

Big makes it sound like some form of long distance shot or something of seismic proportions. I would say an important goal in a big game. I wouldn't say its a big goal in a big game.
Anyway keoghs wasn't an important goal or a "big goal", unless of course somehow it works out that it gets us through on goal difference!
What is the CD criteria though?
If it's...
Keogh will score in a big game.... then he already has.
If it's...
Keogh will score a big goal in a big game... then he hasn't.

The late equaliser against Serbia was big enough in it's own way. I remember being very happy that we didn't lose that game being Trap's first. I know it doesn't count though.
That wasn't Keogh, that was the Milky Bar Kid.
Just realised the game is on at 1am ie in about 5 and half hours time I though it was 'tomorrow'
might have missed it otherwise!!
The thread title wasn't bull****ting.
Yes maybe I shoudl get in the habit of actually reading thread titles!!Quote:

The longer it stays 1-0 the more nervous Sweden may get, they may start to fall back and settle for 1-0.
Great save by the Faroes keeper, he is a class keeper!! Still 1-0 on 75 minutes.
Bad decision for Faroes. man made run and was clear away and wrongly flagged offside.
