Weekend's Irish

**Stuttgart88** · 04/04/2005, 9:59 AM

Didn't see much this weekend but:

Positives:
Kelly's goal
Reid's performance at OT
Finnan

Negatives:
O'Brien was rubbish
Carr didn't look much better
Keane's outburst
Clinton's miss (not that I'd be too critical - it's harsh to expect him to be clinical if he's only seeing scraps of the action)
Given: again only a minor criticism, but he never seems to get anywhere near penalties. Great 'keeper but very unconvincing against penalties.
Macken missed a few chances, well saved by Kiely though.
Kilbane looks knackered

Can anyone comment on Andy Reid, Richard Dunne or John O'Shea's performances?

Anything notable in the lower divisions? My mate was at Celtic and said McGeady didn't do much.

Heard Reid mentioned on the radio for getting a few crosses in.
Dunne was credited with a goal?
O'Shea switched between midfield and left-full, I think.
The Argie was being rested so I wouldn't read anything positive into this.

Reid and Dunne both played well.

Dunne made it into the team of the week on a few websites.

You forgot about French Frank ... he had a good game too

Heard him mentioned a lot this weekend.
Has this story taken a step forward or something?

Dunne and Finnan made it to team of the week on sky sports

Finnan has really responded well to the arrival of Benitez. There was talk at the start of the year that he'd be on his way out because of the new Spanish guy Bentez bought in - Josemi? He seems to have disappeared now though, maybe he's injured.

I think O'Brien has done well beside Kenny in the last year but I thought be looked brutal on MOTD. I'd be a lot happier with Dunne after watching that.

Holland

Was shy*e

went missing in midfield along with murphy and could have meant charlton losing 5or4-1 didnt even earn the point they managed to get in the 90th min, and macken missed some sitters.
