The only evidence we have is that Long puts away fewer chances than he butchers. Keane tends to put away the majority of his chances, France 2010 excepted.
Scored a quality goal last night, collecting the ball on the break just beyond half way, running 25-30 yards with the ball, feinting past a defender with a neat change of direction and slotting a firm shot inside the near post.

Of course MLS goals don't count for anything though.

ireland not being in the squad is likely, but not fact. Just saying like...!Originally Posted by BonnieShels
I would definitely trust Keane over Long in that situation any day of the week though.

Yes he has turned into a bit of a basket case since he joined the MSL

You're right - completely off his trolley
A therapeutic read if only putting into words what 'most' of us already know.
Why the Republic still need Robbie
Warning: This will undoubtedly be followed by a repetitive TOWK rant
Stephen Ireland scored 4 goals in 6 games for Ireland. Glenn Whelan has 2 in 53. He has scored 1 goal in his combined last 4 seasons. Aiden McGeady has 3 in 64. The thought of dropping the latter two at any stage has barely been raised.
Whatever about McGeady's creativity - and he offers barely any against teams of a certain standard - Whelan's defensive work has not nearly being good enough to counteract his complete lack of guile. How many goals have we conceded because of him failing to perform the most basic tasks and all that's ever being asked of him? Giving away the ball, letting players run past him, embarrassing stamina, concentration out the window... he might serve a purpose in a 3 man midfield so I won't place all of the blame on him.
It's remiss to ignore Stephen Ireland. People keep asking questions about where the goals are going to come from and how they are going to be created. There is enough evidence at club and International level to suggest Ireland can be of use.
Call him up in the Summer and if he doesn't want to play, he doesn't want to play.
I don't know, but I'd be interested to see you find out.
He has been noticeably at fault - if not singularly at fault - for a lot of the goals we have conceded in the past two campaigns. Glenn was a credit to himself in the 2010 Campaign considering the steep learning curve but he has regressed severely over the last several years imo.
You should actually work out exactly how many though.
Okay. Counting just competitive games over the last two campaigns and going by memory, I am going to guess at least 5 goals.
I will have the results by Friday.
Good, with youtube clips if possible. If you don't have the results by 2pm I'll send the doc after you.
Keane with the opener for LA Galaxy against Chivas USA: http://www.lagalaxy.com/blog/post/20...nst-chivas-usa
crap defence, no marking, terrible finish, real fans want him out, can only against what's in front of you, he gambled and won, etc, and so forth
If only every game we played was against Chivas USA. Unfortunately, it isn't.
and his post match thoughts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnybULLIV3U
The immortal Alan Judge also scoring twice yesterday. Call him up Trap!
