Kilbane - I wouldnt pick him in 4th class.
O'Shea played left-back, KK in midfield with Ireland. Miller was resting a knock.

Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
Who was central mid last year in Cyprus. Kav and KK? We were mullered in CM that day. Kav started really brightly but was subsequently swamped.
Was Keane injured or suspended, or did he play?
Jesus if he's planning that central midfield against Cyprus we're in trouble. We can debate about holding midfielders all we want but that partnership would be just taking the biscuit.
I posted on another thread (pre-injury mare!) what I thought the team would be. I genuinely haven't a clue what team he's going to pick. When Doyle got injured I figured he'd play Duffer up front with his little buddy Alan O'Brien on the wing.
Thought he might play one of the newbies (McShane or Ledger) at left back and keep the two boys for centre midfield. But now that I hear the rumblings of Ireland and KK in midfield I'm scared sh!tless.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Keane picked up an injury against Liverpool and didn't play
Kav and KK in the middle for that game

Thanks Frank.
Kingdom, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't pick Morrison, or maybe Alan Lee.
4-3-3 may be an option though.
Kavanag and Kilbane, with Finnan and Reid on the wings. Holland came on for Finnan, he had been playing right wing for Charlton in the weeks building up to the game.

That was Finnans worst every performance for Ireland. Either he was injured or not feeling well but I we were all the same wing as him in the 1st half and he was not at teh races at all.
In Trap we trust
Kilbane and Ireland should play in the middle of the park together. Neither can put in the tackles and play the simple pass. we will be overrun in there is thats the partnership played. I still think Douglas is the man to play in the centre. He has plenty of bite about him.
Yikes. Acc to an article just up on the Indo website, JOS & KK played the praictice match in the middle with Foley at left back.
Stan also had a couple of bizarre quotes.
I didn't see anything on the indo site. But on the sporting life site one headline " Staunton, draw not a disaster" preceded by "Staunton expecting victory"
next headline will be "Stan not prepared for defeat"
if Staunton still believes Kilbane and O'Shea make a good central midfield pairing then he needs help. Fast. I'd say 9999 out of 1000 Irish fans would agree that they are not compatible and should never play together. I'll reserve judgement until he names the team but if Kilbane's in I'm gonna be a little miffed.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
I'd love to know what Billsthoughts thinks now.Jesus if he's planning that central midfield against Cyprus we're in trouble. We can debate about holding midfielders all we want but that partnership would be just taking the biscuit.The reason we lost that game so miserably was down to the centre of midfield and I think Stan proved that someone sitting in front of the back 4 is vital. If he doesn't play a holding midfielder against the Czechs I would really worry.
