I'd want to start one of Hourihane or Brady.
So many of our good chances come from set pieces, it makes a big difference having them there. Personally from a set piece perspective, Brady tends to be a little hit and miss but at least has the ability to hit them. Hourihane 8 times out of 10 will hit a very good set piece. Watching Whelan and McClean having to take all the corners against the Swiss wasn't great.
Thought Hourihane was pretty poor during the O'Neill era, but since McCarthy arrived, he's been nice and tidy, doesn’t give the ball away much, he’s busy. Not amazing but probably best of the midfield three. Hendrick has had about 2 decent games since the Euros which is not what you want. Haven’t really seen Browne perform in the Irish shirt in a way that would give me a huge amount of confidence. Overall, both Cullen and Byrne have done better, but you’d be asking a lot of either to put them straight in the first team for a make or break game.
