I'm just saying O'Dowd can be a option playing in the LWB as he has played there before for Bristol City and with our lack or options there. Stevens injured, Brady might not want to play international football anymore to prolong his playing career, Doherty can play there but he has only played 4 minutes of football so far this season. It is McCleans spot to lose really. But I think O'Dowda would offer more composure on the ball at LWB and another attacking outlet without taking a player from of central midfield.

TBH I can't see Kenny just starting the 3-4-3 again in this up coming window, as we got very exposed with just two central midfielders in the first two matches of the last window.

Mcclean has been brutal at LWB for ireland, not mccleans fault, he'd play in goal if he had to... 

but he's not.a good.defender at all, his strength is further up the field, that's were his best performances for ireland have been. People easily confuse a tough tackle with defending.

He's cost ireland a few goals defensively now under Kenny. Play him further up the field or not at all. 

Playing Doherty, odowda, manning or Brady at lwb would be much better.



We all know he is not the best defender but based on his last two performances for Ireland, were is was far from brutal, I think it is his place to lose.

He was caught badly against Ukraine resulting in them scoring! So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I think teams would target his defensive frailties and attack down our left more often.

He was poor against the Ukraine but had an excellent game against Scotland.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I thought the whole Ireland defence were a shambles for the Ukraine goal. 
McClean wasn't solely responsible for it, yes he could have done better for stopping the cross but the centre backs were all over the place behind him to deal with it. O'Shea was just standing there ball watching marking nobody, Collins should have stayed central instead of being dragged left and Lenihan was marking 3 Ukrainian attackers

He got badly done around the outside by Ralston at 0-0 in the Scotland game as well. Alan Browne rescued him with a good block.

Look, he absolutely is a defensive liability against better teams, but I still don't see anyone obviously better than him to play the position - so he still starts for now for me.

Robinson got another assist then after that. At least he will be ticking coming into the camp even if Obafemi isn't.

Late winner vs Ipswich, came on with about 20 to go and made a good impact.
We're decent enough..

He was impressive when he came on and won the game for them. Good to see him back.

Still the second best attacking left back we've got (though really more a winger) so worth a place in the squad on that basis. Hidalgo-Mcginty doesn't suit our formation and will likely develop in to a centre back

You’re joking right ? Left back. He played there once I remember and he was f**king atrocious

Played there a couple times and was alright bar Greece away when he had a mare but so did everyone else on the pitch that night to be fair.

Would agree though hes far more effective higher up the field and would only have him at LWB again in the case of an injury crisis.
