Overall Joey did well but he wont be in a first choice competitive squad i'd imagine.
I wonder how many of the US squad would. Certainly not more than 50% i'd say
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
I was in Dublin yesterday and went out to Tolka for Rovers vs Cork. Gamble was the game's class act by a mile. He has everything I was praising Potter for after his US performances: a genuine central midfielder's instinct, awareness of his opponent and of his options, good passing and good tackling. He protects the ball under pressure well. Rovers didn't have any players as good but they defended well as a unit and were always pressing for the ball but Gamble always protected it well and always turned away from trouble. He actually looks like Alan Quinn on the ball, same physique, always busy and industrious and usually looking to "add value", not just passing for the sake of it.
But dammit, he'd another shortarse. Ballack & Frings, any of the Czechs & Slovakians and even the Cypriots would tower over him. I'd prefer to see Potter in the mix among these types I think, especially as we're vertically challenged in other important areas.
Definitely capable of a higher level of football though.
O'Donovan had a poor game, Kearney didn't look to have much other than proper pace and O'Flynn looked like what I've always thought of him: careless and overrated. No Rovers player stood out (maybe their right back) but it was a good team performance, won on set pieces.
Flynny has really done nothing this season, 1 goal but it was a cracker. Roy is put out on the wing for away games and is very ineffective. Kearney is just useless and hasn't had a decent game since Djurgardens in the 2005 UEFA Cup.
Good summary on Joey though, thats exactly the player he is, keeps the ball rolling and like Makalele in the way that you only notice how important a player he is when he is missing.
Anyway our chairman has said that 500k is a joke of a price and is looking in the millions so Joey mightn't be going anywhere.
Agree that Kearney is nothing brilliant but he was very good against Bohs.
Strangely, he's always gotten the better of Heary who's twice the player Kearney is.
