Trapattoni - Questionable?

[eirebhoy]

Thats my point though. We're talking about replacing premiership squad members with championship starters. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just saying there's not much difference between them. garvan and o'toole are unproven at international level so when does he fit them in? O'shea has been playing well for us at CB and we don't have much cover there either. Delap has had his chances.
There really arent that many great options out there

I'd say if Garvan, Whelan, Gibson, Miller and Andrews were put up for sale tomorrow Garvan would be sold at the highest price to the best team. Probably not really fair though because Garvan has plenty of years ahead of him. But, I feel if all those players were played in the same team it'd be Garvan dictating the play.

That may be the case. Trap is aware of Garvan, so his chance may come. Looks like a good prospect so far. I think Gibson could be a great player for us....but only in 3 years time or so. he's still developing. he's been out on loan in belgium and he's been a bit unsettled over the last couple of years. One thing's for sure he was seriously rated coming through the youth ranks up north, hence the massive furore when he declared for the side of all things green and good.

The problem is that Garvan is again one of these attacking central players - the kind Trap doesn't really trust.

In that friendly against Nottingham Forest, Garvan was thrown on as one of the wide attacking players, which doesn't suit him at all...

I think Garvan is going to be a quality player, but I don't think it will be with Ireland while Trap is around.

I do also think Gibson will be a good player. I think he is wise staying around United for a while, ferguson is loyal to those like fletcher and oshea that stick by him and stay with United. IF uniteds cup run continues tonight hopefully he will get some more time.

Great to see ferguson give him 15 minutes against villareal. He obviouslly sees something in the lad.

Would any other country in the world start two centre midfielders in a world cup qualifying game who play in their clubs reserves. What is going on. Surely you wouldnt even have these players in your squad, never find give them a starting eleven spot.

Owen Garven is in brilliant form for Ipswich this year and deserves a chance. At least he plays week in week out in a competitive league. Andy reid is also a must. Most creative and talented player in Ireland and he isnt in the squad anymore.. sort it out Gio

This team will never perform even if Jose Mourinho or Alex Ferguson or whoever else were in charge. Now if we had some sort of Adolf Hitlor you might get something out of them.

Trap was watching our players at two games in England on Saturday. The early ko in the PL, and the late ko in the Championship, so that's that issue cleared up.

Just saw that in another post about Martin Rowlands. But it said Trap watched Ipswich v Norwich on Sunday. That would include
Bruce,
Garvan,
Walters,
Doherty,
Hoolahan

and QPR vs WOLVES That includes:
Delaney,
Mahon,
Rowlands,
Foley,
Ward,
Keogh

That 11 Irish which is not bad.

Anyone know what the premiership game was?

If it was the early Premier game then he saw
Man City: Dunne, Ireland
QPR: Delaney, Rowlands
Wolves: Foley, Ward, Keogh
Norwich: Doherty, Bell, Hoolahan
Ipswich: Bruce, Norris, Garvan, Walters

Foley-Dunne-Bruce-Delaney
------Doherty------Ward

Norris-Ireland-Rowlands-Bell
------Garvan

Hoolahan-----
----------Walters(Keogh)

He watched players in nearly every position(goalkeeper), including Hoolahan playing behind a lone striker, an Andy Reid role if you like.
A few players out of position though, Norris isn't a right winger, Bell is. Walters has played better right wing this season, Keogh has played there too.
