Jack Cork is one of the most underrated players in the PL. Loved him at Saints and would far prefer to have him in m team than McCarthy. Obviously injuries have held him back but he's ever been consistantly good

Long had a very good game last night i must say , now will he keep his place in the Burnley team when Mee is fit again is a very good question .
As for 4th place Clarets ( sorry just had to say that once ) they have some very fair players nothing too great as everyone knows , but it's Dyche has them playing as a team . I looked at the Stoke players ;last night and they have some very good players and one wondered why are they where they are in the league , i think it's easy to guess . Now i have seen all the Burnley games this season they work well but it's not pretty but it works for now , hey finish in the top half of the league and most Clarets will be very happy .

If the argument is that it is possible to overachieve as an international team by maximising the limited player resources that we have to do better then of course that is correct but the same could apply to any of the teams that haven't qualified for the world cup, it doesn't make us any better than we are and in terms of player quality I'd hardly say we are underachieving by making the play offs. If you were to select a combined Denmark-ROI team out of the players involved in the matches then you would have 10 Danes and Shane Duffy.
Secondly Burnley are something of an anomaly, you can't just pick one side that reaches a high placing in one of the top leagues at one point in the season as our benchmark. You have to look at the overall quality of the top finishing few teams at the end of the season to gauge our relative level. There are never any Irish players in the champions league these days for a reason. Thirdly if we had Gudmundsson who creates goals regularly and Wood who scores about one in three at the moment in the premiership that would still make us a significantly superior team to one that includes either Shane Long ,who hasn't offered any kind of goal threat at club or international level for 2 years or Daryl Murphy who would get in to no premiership team and which has no creative equivalent to Gudmundsson (Hoolahan now being on his last legs) and none imminently emerging on the horizon.

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

Played well. Hendrick also played very well in a deeper midfield role.
