    No way Wes Hoolahan starts tomorrow. He'll come on for the last thirty minutes or so. O'Neill's game plan will be to keep it at nil all and try to sneak a goal. If we go a goal down in the first half, he might bring Wes on for the second, but that's about it.

    Here's the team I'd go with.

    -------Randolph
    Christie-Duffy-Clark-Ward
    ------Arter---Meyler
    Long------Brady----McClean
    -----------Murphy

    Here's what I think he'll go with:

    -------Randolph
    Christie-Clark-Duffy--Ward
    -----Arter----Meyler
    Brady----Hendrick---McClean
    ---------Murphy

    I think he’ll start Long instead of Murphy. Meyler in for O’Dowda.

    Part of the deal for rebuilding it was that private firm took over the stadium. Concerts are how a lot of places make their cash now. But sport provides the impetus for building in the first place.

    Hendrick-Arter-Meyler-McClean
    ----------- Hoolahan -----------
    ----------- Murphy -------------

    But i agree with you about the team you think he will pick

    I really think Murphy offers us nothing against a side who will have more Of The ball than us. If we need a goal he can come on to partner long up front but he gives us no out ball and allows the Dane's push right up towards half way with no fear that he will ever be a great in behind

    You might be spot on with that line up.

    Has O'Neill ever started McClean at right wing?

    What would the order for penalties be? Meyler has volunteered to start things if need be.

    ......... Arter.....Meyler......

    Brady.... Hendrick....McClean

    .....................Murphy

    I would drop brady, put jeff outwide and have Wes at 10, i would play Hogan at 9 ( i know the Hogan thing is outrageously risky for a debut, but murph has no pace to close down the space and Shane Long looked with someone with depression when he came on on saturday)

    I think it would be a cautious over kill to hold Wes in reserve for a sub appearance late on in order to retrieve a game which is drifting away or one which might still be in the balance.
    This is a very different game, one to aim to be the first to score, not an occasion to concede home advantage and look for a punt late on against a capable team.

    Here's a reassuring stat with at least a 5 second lifeline, there has never been more than 2 teams from Scandinavia at a WC finals.

    That's a decent shout actually. I like that idea

    I've changed my mind on Wes in the last hour. It was reading this again that did it.

    For this reason i think Hoolahan should be on the bench. If he only has an hour in him better to have him on the field at the business end of the proceedings.

    That's fair about Hoolahan alright, plenty to consider I think. I won't be up in arms either way but would be worried about our capacity to change things if needed.

    A bit of caution in response to your reassuring stat. I'm sure I read in the last few WC playoffs (UEFA), that it's always been one non-seed to go through. Damn those Swedes tonight taking our spot!

    I don’t really get this about Hoolahan. He never looks fatigued to me. And it’s not as if he’s a box to box player anyway.
    Duffer and McAteer constantly looked b@llixed while playing but Hoolahan rarely seems to break sweat.
