4-5-1 it is.

Got to win 1-0.
We need a goal from a set piece & hope the Danes are so sick of playing us that they just play in 2nd gear.
What is that right hand side of midfield all about?! The midfield 5 need to get on the front foot and boss this. If Whelan just ends up passing it back to Randolph to lump forward then we are goosed.
Wonder if in practice it will actually be Hendrick playing on the right as he often does for Burnley. That would make most sense and given the fact right midfield has been a problem position I agree with that call.
Looks like we set up for a draw and hope we nick one. We did that away to Georgia and it cost us hugely. Hope we get a performance and we do score but right now before the game I'm not confident and think that McCarthys lack of courage again will cost us... hope I'm wrong
Hamann calling Ireland "we".

Hopefully we get an early penalty and hold on. C'mon Ireland, at least die with your boots on.

McCarthy says its 4-2-3-1 but McGoldrick at #9 is a poor call on the evidence of his previous games there as he drops far too deep and we lose a focal point. If it is 4231 then leaving COD out of the squad completely is the most self-defeating move he could have made as he leaves himself with only one genuine wide player in McClean (who, along with Whelan, should no longer be near the squad let alone the team). McG or Hendrick have a better case to be at #10 where they both do the most damage at club level - i would pick McG there - and drop Browne and Cullen into the defensive mid positions - both comfortable on the ball. I would probably start Robinson in at #9 with Parrott off the bench if it isnt working for him.
The scary thing is we are in the last game of the campaign and we are trying another new formation - and havent selected the personnel to make the most of it. Is that 4 formations now? 433, 4231, 352, 4321?
Goodnight (Frank and) Irene.
Some roar off the Aviva, but think the Danes already looking much the more assured and composed side. We're going to need a slice of luck here, be it a set-piece or Danish error or refereeing ****-up.

That looks a nasty one
Caveman's tackle from Delaney.
We look so much better when we press. Doing ok so far.

That Cornelius is a bit of a diver.
Reverting to type a bit now. Surrendering possession way too easily.Originally Posted by shakermaker1982
Denmark starting to play a little, we are dropping now.
Dropping like flies the Danes. Limits their options a bit, hopefully we get the chance to take advantage.

Jeff Hendrick’s lack of a brain is the biggest impediment to the team at the moment. Either gives it away or makes a stupid run away from the only place he could receive the ball resulting in lost possession.
I wonder is Hendricks pass completion rate in single digits. Cos how that guy gets a game is beyond me, it really is.
