John Egan (D Sheffield Utd b.1992)

[Razors left peg]

Most underrated Irish player in a long time. Deserves a big contract

2nd yellow and sent off in another one v one situation. I think theres been enough incidents of to show playing the high line with Egan and Duffy as the two CBs is a dangerous game for us.

It was a straight red. Denying a goalscoring opportunity though I have my doubts Watkins would have made it to the ball before the keeper.

best player on the pitch, Egan plays with panache. Has a few twists and runs as Franco Baresi, this fellow should be playing for Everton or Tottenham at least.
Connolly looks classy, and Stevens is doing well. as a left attacking wingback McGoldrick hot and cold but almost scores with a clever freekick

[Bielsa´s irish]

freaky ankle injury, saved a goal though!!!!

[elatedscum]

looked nasty. i'd suspect a break

[Bielsa´s irish]

Dont know, but he blocked a certain goal with his right foot in the air, but the shot was so powerful that it moved his foot and that movement twisted his ankle, didnt seem a broke bone

i only saw it once, but i thought it could have been a bone in the foot broken, just from the impact of the power of the shot at such close range

[elatedscum]

turns out it was a dislocated toe, rules him out for 8 weeks in the end. real blow for us and for sheffield united

[Bielsa´s irish]

will be fine, one week gone already. A good hiatus until the Serbia showdown. Will be ready in 3 weeks

In what world is three more than eight?

In the exalted sphere of Bielsaian reality tets. You should try it.

[Bielsa´s irish]

he should be fine mark my words, it is a minor injury, toe is not broken, the ball from that english fellow hit his foot in the middle, the game was already lost, let Lingaard score , I blame his professionalism, which is bad, because he has a few movement like Baresi, should be playing for Liverpool or Everton or even Leeds or the Wolves next season. Best blades player so far

How sure are you? You can retract the statement if you want, but If you don't, and you're wrong, and Egan isn't back in three weeks, I'll give you a week off

[Bielsa´s irish]

dont try to entertain you guys, a dislocated toe, dislocated not a broken bone, not the ankle, or could have been his knee with that movement his foot did. Should be fine, painful, yes but its a quick recovery

[Trequartista20]

There'll be significant ligament damage, I should think.

It'll be many weeks before Egan's back in action I fear. He'll be a big miss.

Clark-Egan in doubt, but Clark-O'Shea very acceptable. Best would be O'Shea-Egan-Clark in 3-5-2. But Kenny will play Duffy, nothing surer - and it'll be the difference between 0-0 and Serbia winning 3-0.

I don't recall Richard Keogh announcing his international retirement, playing regularly in Championship again and is comfortable with the ball at his feet. Would be a reassuring presence back in squad and team again in my opinion.
