That team could very well see Collins stepping forward into the shape we seen in Wembley. Personnel wise its pretty much what Id go for, there is logic in playing Knight and Cullen in the away leg, even if Id prefer to see Taylor in there
Its really not that complicated!!!
pretty sure they have a free 7 day trial, which you could get Stutts
I assume Kelleher is playing in goal anyway !
Brady and Manning? Azaz, MJ and Parrot?
Is that a 433/451 with Brady in the middle? I don’t get it…
Only thing I can think of is maybe Manning is a left sided CB?
Its really not that complicated!!!
Could be a (weird) 3-5-2
Collins - OShea - Dots
Manning or Brady out of position as wing backs
Cullen Azaz Knight
Johnson Parrott
So two left-wing backs, including the one who didn't make the squad initially, and O'Brien on the bench?
Well its not the team any of us would have picked, hopefully he has something interesting in mind
Its really not that complicated!!!
Being reported as:
Doherty-O'Shea-Collins-Manning
Cullen-Knight
Johnston-Azaz-Brady
Parrott
(i'd personally flip Brady and Johnston probably)
With the squad selected (and the anomaly P-Stu points out)… it’s a head scratcher and a few round pegs in square holes… not impressed but ready to be proven very wrong.
Big game for Azaz, he's been in great form but we've not seen it in a green shirt yet. Hopefully this is his breakout game
Its really not that complicated!!!
i do think it's mad that Manning goes from not being in the squad on Monday to starting on Thursday. If you like him, just call up 24 players.
I'd like, arguments sake, if Taylor comes off the bench and picks up a knock, Molumby gets called up and starts ahead of Knight - but if Taylor doesn't get the injury then they don't call Molumby up for Game 2
This seems to be what it is, judging by HH's pre match comments ("left footers on the left, right footers on the right").
Parrott as the lone striker, albeit backed up by Azaz. A big challenge for him, he's the form pick but is he a lone striker? Huge opportunity for Manning as well.
Will Azaz drop back enough out of possession, will Brady drop into centre mid?
A lot to unpack there, but it's different and at least (hopefully) it's not 3-4-3 with only two centre mids. I'll take anything that isn't that in truth.
HH saying the plan had been to play two left-footers anyway - O'Dowda and Brady - but that begs the question as to why you wouldn't have Manning in the squad from the start in case, to pick something mad, O'Dowda got injured?
Will be interesting also to see if it's Manning at left back with Brady in front of him, or the other way around. Could play it either way I guess.
It reads like the way HH was known for setting his Iceland teams up (I think, can't say I watched a huge amount of them). Flat back four, wingers and crosses.
Except the man in the middle is Parrott. Surely if you were going for balls getting flung into the box you'd start Ferguson or Idah? Azaz firing in shots off second balls or something? Not sure.

Had a similar shock reaction to the lineup announcement but happy he hasn't gone 5 at the back and very interested to see if this works. I think they'd be eaten alive against tougher opposition though.
In positive news I watched the Turkey Hungary game and Hungary were woeful. My hope/belief for the world cup qualifiers is cautiously increasing
