+1 on that. Every game I've seen him play he really gets into a tackle. Closes players down very quickly too

I would say Mcgoldrick would be a natural number 10...seems to have a lot of ability but lacks a poachers instinct and if we were playing tomorrow he would surely start

Agreed fully, His hold up and link up play are exceptional, now I suppose if we were a side like Spain or Man City who dominate possession and have countless teams defending in a low block against them with 9/10 men behind the ball all the time the likes of McGoldrick for me wouldn't have that in his locker to unlock sides time and time again with these defence splitting passes on a consistent basis. But I mean if Obafemi, Idah, Parrott etc properly emerge as starters for whatever clubs they find themselves at in the near future then instead of seeing an effective player like McGoldrick drop out if we're only playing 1 up top I would most definitely like to see him play in the 10. Now if Jack Byrne can get himself a good side team in a very competitive league he would be ideal, but in the short term McGoldrick would be an excellent option.

Whatever happened to say a team is defending deep or playing a high line. What’s all this low block nonsense. I hear Jose sh*teing on about it too.

I find it interesting that people would see Glenn Whelans performances in the last few ireland games comparable to that of world class players.
Realistically it simply isnt true. Switzerland and Denmark where pretty comfortable in the games the played against us in terms of possession, chances created etc but somehow Glenn had the games of his life. Superlatives such as outstanding, immense thrown about to a player in which the team itself struggled to hold the ball. Of all the players in the team I think Whelan was the stand out player for ireland but not the best performer on the pitch, he played ok and put in a very good shift. |

A lot of differing opinions here which is why we visit a forum. We all feel passionate about irish football but maybe we keep the personal jibes to one side.

I don't see Kenny picking Whelan. He'd be lucky to make the squad.
Just out of curiosity I wonder would Kenny even bother with Arter or wait until Arter makes himself available?

Yes. The man has at least another 18 months in him of passing the ball sideways and backwards in games for us that average less than a goal a game. He's been a great servant but if he makes Kenny's squad I'm going to look for trails for the Dublin U20 hurlers next year.

Whelan is still the best option Ireland have in that holding role, but only by way of us not being allowed to play anyone else in that position, as the risk is too great.
He does a job... I would hope that Kenny would choose - Molumby McCarthy Cullen Arter All ahead of him.

Of course he hasn't. Stephen Kenny is used to fellas playing at a higher level than Fleetwood Town.
