What I think is a tv3 stream had the infographic lineup as 442. Surely those players are far better set up as a 4231??

There is a decent stream ?
O'Neill confirmed in the interview beforehand that McClean was being tried up front with a diamond of sorts in midfield, adding that they want the width to come from the full backs.Quote:

That's McShane out of the picture I guess. Maybe Elliot too!
This could be really heartbreaking for Eliot. Right knee.
That was very McShane of McShane.
Really sad for Eliot.
fairly decent here http://www.eplsite.com/stream53.html
I forgot what a liability McShane is.
This has been a very good attacking 20 mins though in fairness.
Never a penalty!! Haha
Never a peno but we are playing well.
Never a penalty! Still, take it as deserved reward for some really good attacking play. Hoolahan, O'Kane, McClean and Long are linking up fantastically well. High tempo stuff.
We've been playing well, besides the goal. Holding possession and passing it around. Pity about the goal and for Elliot too. Looked bad.
Oh, penalty!
Another peno!!!! And that one was a penalty. What about about that touch by Shane, woof.
Not a peno this time either, dive from Shane. Touch of Germany about the buildup though.
Not sure about that one either!! Great from Shane though!
2-1 baby!
Definite contact from Skrtel I thought, dived in rashly. Whether it was another contact for Shane to go down well...Quote:

Skrtel is the Slovakian Paul McShane. Street-smart by Long for the first one, looked a penalty to me on first viewing too. Kind of weird he didn't take the second one, would like to hear the reasoning.
We're playing at a serious tempo.
Yeah weird one. Maybe there's a bit of training ground questioning over who steps in if Walters/Keane arn't on the pitch so they split the duty. Wouldn't see Robbie doing that anyway.Quote:

Is Elliot's right knee a recurring issue for him? He's very injury-prone.
Christie has been excellent so far.
'Tis really enjoyable for a friendly alright.Quote:

Spreading the practice, or just taking any psychology (Same way? Other way?) out of it?
More proof if ever you needed it how objectionable it was not to call up at least one replacement forward.
Long ginger.
Belgium 2-0 down to Portugal at the moment.
McShame
Poor McShane..
Not helped by Whelan's basic lack of composure in passing it straight to Hamsik in their half during the build up when we were under no pressure.
Ward caught out too.
At least O'Kane is doing well and Randolph is the picture of composure.
We know that Long is a boss.
Stephen ward?
Mcshane and ward combine effortlessly to score an own goal.
As exciting as this half as been, we have defended really poorly.
McShane deserves his share of the blame but lack of shape and organisation through midfield have done us twice and out of absolutely nothing. This high press needs refining when we don't have the ball.
McShane took that well to be fair .............
Oh an glenn whelan lost it originally.
McShane should not be allowed anywhere near an Irish squad again. Hes murder. Theres better LOI defenders than himQuote:

Elliot has twisted his knee.
Reports that Shay Given was spotted interfering with the turf in the goal box shortly before kick off have yet to be confirmed.
