Republic of Ireland V Armenia - Tuesday, 27th September 2022 - UEFA Nations League

[JR89]

Yup just the one League D team and believe if Estonia were to shock the world and qualifed directly for the Euros then that also cancels out the League D team getting a play off spot. So wouldn't move down to Latvia. So basically only Estonia have the chance to get a play off spot if leagues don't have enough teams to fill the play off.

FAI claim that they are set to welcome over 42,000 supporters to the Aviva Stadium tonight!

Parrott starting again? This is the sort of thing that makes me think Kenny is, at heart, as inflexible as MON was.

why should he be dropped? because he missed a chance?

Brady said he can't understand why obafemi was taken off during the Scotland game

[SkStu]

I thought Obafemi was a little bit disappointing on Saturday. Yes he?s dangerous and he?s a definite starter but we squandered 2-3 very decent opportunities in the first half because of his touch and final ball and he did it again just prior to laying it on a plate for Parrott. He was also lacking match fitness a bit and I?d say that played into Kenny?s thinking at the time. Keeping Parrott on the pitch gives you a good counter to Ogbene in terms of possession and connecting the midfield and forwards. Oba and Oggie a bit more comfortable running onto things. I understand the different perspective but don?t think it was that bad a call.

Maybe Kenny is nursing his fitness.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I hope Parrott is up for it anyway. He'd want to be.

[sadloserkid]

What a peurile suggestion. No, not because he missed a chance. Because he's out of form and if Armenia at home isn't a game to give a chance to others then what is?

[NeverFeltBetter]

We're going to have a lot of possession tonight, that's already clear. Might have to wait a while for Armenia to tire. Armenia look disciplined enough so far, sort of a 5-2-3 when defending. They obviously aren't too worried about crosses from the flanks, they want us going out there.

[paul_oshea]

And, while tomorrow night might not be the game for it, maybe wait till the friendlies in the Autumn.. but would anyone think we should have a look at pushing Nathan Collins into the holding midfielder role, a la Paul Mc Grath of old..

He can read a game, pass the ball, and likes to get forward from time to time.. and is much more of a physical presence than Josh Cullen

I said this way back. He came much further forward against Scotland too. I really think that needs to happen given how many good CBs we have already

[osarusan]

Anybody with a stream, PM me.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Thought that was a shocker of a miss from Obafemi at first glance, but it's just too high to direct it properly.

[pineapple stu]

Or is he too short?

[sadloserkid]

That was nice from Doherty.

[pineapple stu]

Egan the new Duffy anyway!

[NeverFeltBetter]

Who needs Duffy!? Great to go ahead early. Great header, downwards with power.

[joey B]

Should be scoring a few against these after the first…

[SkStu]

Lovely jubbly.

[sadloserkid]

I'll say this, over the last couple of games, we haven't missed Duffy for attacking set pieces. That's a really nice header.
