Playing 4-5-1 will restrict the space.
No doubt Brian Kerr will instruct McDonnell to opt for safety first.

No, we'll play 5 at the back like last night
But if they go through it makes it irrelevant. Do you think any barstoolers even know Drogs were playing last night? I doubt it. Unless our teams play against teams that the English clubs could be drawn against no barstooler will take any notice.Quote:

"The second period started at much the same frenetic pace that the first had enjoyed. St Pat's, playing a 3-5-2 formation, sprayed the ball around the park with the low evening sun blazing straight into their eyes the only hindrance."
i have to say i thought it strange they were playing 3 at the back...
In theory, Pat's do play 3 at the back, but it never works out like that. When they play better teams, the midfielders get pushed back on top of the defence & sometimes, Mark Quigley plays as a sweeper. ;)
We played our usual 3-5-2 team (with Murphy and Rogers as the wingbacks) but they basically played as full backs
I thought that both Anto & Rogers did well last night, defensively.
Rogers doesn't get forward enough though.
Guy showed some nice touches.
Quigley lacked conviction/belief.
Unfortunately, we all have to give a sht about co-efficients, and whether they'll go through or not is not the point, the point is they should be out of sight by now, with the co-efficient points in the bag, not waiting for the home leg to finish the job. If it was Kilkenny or Monaghan, you'd make allowances, but for a team who are top of the league, and have some of the best players in the league, a game against a bunch of binmen and bus drivers from San Marino should be a 3 hour training session.Quote:

I'm sure on some Odense boards the danes are giving out about how their team failed to hammer pats right now!!!
disrespecting your opponent in pathetic
As I said originally, If I was Drogs fan all I'd care about is getting through. Caring about coefficients can be done when other teams that you don't support are playing.Quote:

Taught we played well last night against a good Odense side. They dominated at times with Pats defending brilliantly especially Dara Maguire. However I cant see us pulling it off on Denmark.
It's like banging my head against a brick wall..... I was speaking from a drogs fans perspective. If we're in Europe next year I wouldn't care how we qualified for the next round once we did so.Quote:

You're not still pandering to the pathetic notion that Vaduz are of the calibre of Libertas or Carmarthen even after all they've achieved in the past couple of years?!Quote:
