Different types of player totally. Fahey's a central midfielder. lawrence is a winger. lawrence is far more suited to Trap's game

Aye but original post was saying fahey was the better option on the wing :P
Lawrence is a wide midfielder. He is not a winger as McGeady is, or Duff use to be. Keith has ability and had scope to show some of that ability in the wide role he was asked to play. Set pieces were one example. I think he was flat, pretty much like Lawrence was against Nigeria. The way we play with 2 CM leaves room for Fahey even if he is out wide but I think much of our stagnancy comes down to our full backs.
Too early to rule on Keith in the international set up, but at best he might have staked a place in the squad.
Agree totally with that.
my biggest moan with Fahey in the Argentina game was that he was slowing the ball down too much every time he got it,his first option almost everytime seemed to be to play the ball back the way.When Keogh and Treacy came on the game came to life for us because they 2 of them were doing more running and more direct than Sheridan and Fahey
Its really not that complicated!!!
Watched some of the first half. was definitely at right full. Put in a few great crosses but looked uneasy there.

Id agree with what geysir said above thats how I would see it as well and see fahey fitting in. Lawrence is defintely not a winger, anyone with any bit of gumption can see that.
But the fact that trap has gone with 2 wingers in the past on many occassions and also with lawrence means that he is open to two out and out wingers or depending on the opposition will play a wide midfielder to help out with defensive duties.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
He's just come on for Larsson on 76 minutes. Birmingham up a goal and a man.
Fahey has been absolutely terrible! He's been putting in some terrible crosses.
As the starter of this thread back in his Pats days, I just wanted to say I'm delighted for Fats
Good man Keith. Hopefully many more to come
Good Man St. Charlie. I wasn't convinced about him when he was at St. Pats or the Ireland U-20s - always saw him as a lightweight luxury player, but I'm so glad to be proved wrong!
His goal reminder me of a goal in the world cup a USA soccer player, Jason Donavon?
Lol it's not Jason but I think you know who I mean. Not quite the same becasue he did
not run onto it but it was a similar scramble and a confident finish.
This is the one

And it's Landon, I think Jason plays for Australia?
delighted for him. well in.
repeated viewings of the goal lead me to believe it was actually harder than Fahey made it look - always a sign of excellent technique. With the rest of the goal blocked with bodies, he had to place the shot right in the corner to keep it away from the diving goalkeeper, and make the connection with the ball from behind (not underneath) to keep the shot down.
Watch where Fahey's standing foot is when the ball is struck, it's exactly in line with the path of the ball, which means the best possible connection for power, which also makes keeping the ball down more difficult.
It's an excellent finish and worthy of further study.
I did have my doubts about Fahey, and I'm still not sure where he will fit into the side with everyone available, but I really am delighted that he scored tonight.
Interesting comments from Brady about him as well in the post match analysis
Yes, although he made it look easy it really was excellent technique. It was a really easy one to mi****.
What was said exactly by Brady? i'm mates with his cousin, and I heard more about keith fahey growing up! Delighted for him and the Fahey family, and the LOI too.
I think we underestimate the technical ability of our players. Sometimes we only see the "hoofers", but the likes of Fahey, Duff, McGeady, Keogh, Andy Reid are all sumptuous ball players with wonderful technique. If we ever did need to mix it up formation wise I think we'd be able for it.
That aside, where does he fit in the side? On the left? Slightly advanced midfield role. As weird as this sounds I think Robbie Keane restricts our options to a certain degree.
Sorry, ot, this is the Fahey thread, well done lad.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
always thought he was great any time I saw him for pats!
delighted for him anyways. the type of chance we generally make a balls of.
Just showed Tevez's miss against Sunderland last week on Soccer AM. From a similar position that Fahey scored from and an easier chance with the keeper on the other side of the area Tevez (who I rate as a fantastic striker of the ball) put it well over the bar.
Mentioned working with him at Arsenal, that he couldn't settle in London and moved onto Villa and eventually back to the LOI with St Pat's. Said that it shows that you can still make a successful career for yourself as a footballer if you do fall out of the Academy/Reserve system.
