    Question Squad Strength shown at UCD?

    Possible lessons from UCD match.

    Billy can't play fullback cos means he has to pass the ball which he can't do so he hoofs down the line.
    Byrne not capable backup for centre back. Need to add quality there eventually.
    Gamble not as good as we hoping he'll be?
    Until Steve O'Flynn returns no quality backup for forwards as Behan not good enough.

    Interestingly i thought it was the 3 players brought in for suspended ones that played the poorest.

    exactly................

    players like mucka, greg and nwankwo should have been given a start against UCD IMO. Most of the players were shagged and should have been given a rest. We cant judge gamble until after 10-15 games under his belt..remember Hoggy is nearly back too. as for front cover...we have enough strikers...our squad wasnt really used last nite.. from what I heard most of the players were bad so singling out the replacements is harsh.. altho i did hear byrne had a shocker...

    I did leave a question mark after Gamble comment.

    The players who were brouyght in played worse than the "tired" europeans.

    Fenn, O'Flynn, Kearney, Colin & Bennet all played well.

    Why didn't Greg O Halloran play? Surely he would have been a better option. Billy is best on the wing IMO.

    We didn't lose cos team not fresh. We lost cos team reverted to hoofing & backup players not good enough.

    think this is common knowledge but did we think that kearney would make left midfield his own when he wasnt getting a sniff. all it took was an illness to nwanko who was doing very well out there

    Can't understand why Nwankwo or Sweeney didn't start, and Greg O'Halloran should have been in too. Not too sure what ye could have done about your centre half, but I do know that Byrne is crap.Maybe three at the back with Lordan, Bennett and Greg, play Sweeney in a holding role in front of them??
    I don't know, but I do know that you can't simply replace 2 of a steady back 4 and not expect problems. Hope this isn't the beginning of a slippery slope..

    Height is really important!
    Imagine if the club brought in some little lad like Duff or Maradonna or Overmars or Zola or ...

    There'd be murder!

    sarcasm dualy noted,however as we have just seen with the result against ucd the style of play is diff,eL is physical and city need physical presence,especially against Sh1tkickers United on Fri. night
    j'accuse!
