In reality it doesn't matter if we had players similar to Pele, Maradona & Cruyff in their heyday starting for Ireland as Martin O'Neill's tactical rubbish would make them look like players from my local senior league. In any case my team would be :
........... Randolph
.......Keogh Duffy Long
Coleman... .... ............Stevens
.........Arter........Meyler
O'Dowda.......................Brady
........... Robinson

It's interesting to see young Manchester United prospect Lee O'Connor get called up to the squad, even if it's because of injuries and suspensions.
United fans who follow the club's youth sides closely rave about him.
Full back, although he can play across the back 4 and perhaps in midfield.
You'll get a flavour from this thread over on the redcafe forum - http://www.redcafe.net/threads/lee-oconnor.416599/
Jayus lads terrible mews from Dnemark

from RTE's preview of the game: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2018...ark-v-ireland/
so, a rookie keeper in goals, and possibly two starting midfielders missingQuote:
Kasper Schmeichel is suspended after picking up a yellow card against Wales while Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl is injured, so Frankfurt’s second choice shot-stopper Frederik Ronnow looks certain to start.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Thomas Delaney is also suspended, while the Danes continue to be without captain Simon Kjaer, with Andreas Christensen and Mathias Jorgensen set to start in defence.
However the main focus will be on whether or not Christian Eriksen starts.
The Tottenham striker has only recently recovered from a stomach muscle injury and with nothing at stake, may not be risked. Erikson’s inclusion or absence from the team-sheet should be an indication of how seriously the Danes are going to take this game.
Not that much of a rookie; 6 caps for Denmark and 100 games for Brondby before leaving in the summer.
Though on our form, their goalkeeper is the least of our worries.
Terrible news about the fan who died overnight obviously. Ireland away games are great craic and even though the pints do be flowing, you never imagine it'll end like that...
Hendrick should be dropped. He either doesn’t understand his role or just doesn’t play well in it. Either way, he hasn’t played well for us all year.
Hopefully tonight this nightmare will be over and the two stooges will go.
5-3-1-1. Fantastic.
At least I don’t have to watch McClean run the ball out of touch every 10 minutes.
From my count - that's 6 defenders, 1 central midfielder & 3 left wingers. :confused:
Think Im gonna watch replay of the rugby instead:rolleyes:
don't think we've been out of our half in the last five minutes?
Like a training session for Denmark this.
Very unsporting of the Danes to play Eriksson
Really bad. Did O'Neill learn nothing from Thursday? That midfield is being swamped. Which of them is supposed to be driving the team forward or at least maintaining possession in the centre of the park?
If it wasnt for Seamus Coleman I don't think we'd have completed a successful pass so far. No-one else wants the ball.
That would require a modicum of creativity and innovation from a footballing dinosaur unfortunately
What another shti performance? Nooooooo im shocked!!!
We need a proper holding midfielder. We don’t have one on the pitch. Until/if Rice commits we need to look at alternatives.
I think most here would like to see Williams get a chance but it’s becoming clear O’Neill doesn’t rate him. If McCarthy is fit for the qualifiers he’ll be that man and it will make a world of difference.
If Rice doesn’t commit and McCarthy is unavailable, we are totally f*cked if O’Neill doesn’t start playing a proper holding player. Really dire stuff.
Now after writing all this watch us claim a 1-0 bit of road thievery....
We have become Luxemburg
Central MF non existent.
I’d rather lose 5 nil and have a go than parking the bus.
