Team to play Israel

.I can't see him picking O'brien over Dunne when one has been playing far better than the other

There's no question about it, if O'Brien is fit and ready he'll partner Cunningham. O'Brien and Cunningham have started together in the following matches:
Brazil
Romania
Holland
Cyprus
Switzerland
France
Faroe Islands
Portugal

They have conceded just 1 goal in those 690 minutes together.

Not necessarily the team I'd pick but its the team that I think that Kerr will pick. Regarding the duffer as the winger that he is, then we have three strikers in the squad compared to the usual 4 (forgetting any of the Doherty nonsense).
Has Clinton being starting for Birmingham recently?

Nope, but I'd still have him in for Reid in your line up, it's going to get physical and the way Clinton played against Portugal showed he's up for a tussle to win the ball, Andy doesn't strike me as that type of player just yet.

As far as selection goes I would like CLinton to play but I'm not sure he will be picked.

I think we'll see, with a mix of club form and the fact that Kerr doesn't tinker much:

Given

Carr O'Brien Cunningham Finnan

Reid Keane Kilbane Duff

Morrison Keane

He's gotta put Finnan in for O'Shea. Reid seems to be in great form, think he's too dangerous (in a good way) for us to leave on the bench. Have a sense if Israel are preoccupied with Duff, Reid could do some real damage.

Really hope this is the side we see.
