Can't see Wes playing because of the away goal situation.Playing him is a higher risk game where the opposition get more of the ball in dangerous areas.MON said after the game last night, if Denmark score an away goal they'll be thinking it might be a long way back for us. He also mentioned maybe needing to score two. Would love us to play Wes and try to do that, but MON's game plan will probably be to try and keep it incredibly tight, don't concede an away goal and win 1-0. Meyler will play as whenever he's played recently we look a better team.

Hendrick was completely anonymous last night, genuinely forgot he was playing until he got taken off. |

Both him and Brady have regressed badly.....I don't follow Burnley much, do they play regularly |

Tbf to Hendrick his job wasn't to get on the ball last night. He was quiet it that sense as you'd expect, but he did a solid enough defensive job. Brady was one of the few players who got on the ball on a few occasions and took on Danish players, his performance was decent I thought.

We're decent enough..

Both start for Burnley and play well in the system Dyche has them playing. Completely different players when they pull on the green jersey. Whether that's due to MON or not is another question. |

Thing is with Hendrick he has popped up with so many bits of magic for us at vital times he is sort od undroppable at the moment as it's usually him who is involved when we score vital goals. Germany away for O'Shea, Georgia at home last campaign and Wales away were 3 massive moments for us .

——-—-Randolph
Christie-Clark-Duffy-Ward ————Meyler —Brady———-Arter ————Wes ——Long——McClean Go back to the diamond that previously brought us success. Only way Wes starts is if the midfield behind him can do the dirty work - and that one can. McClean on paper starts up front, but realistically will play wide. Think this is the team. Get in their faces early on, get the crowd going and we’ll rattle these lads, not one pair of balls between the 11 men in that Danish team. |

I wonder if part of Ireland's relatively poor home form is due to the Aviva being a state of the art pitch that's spacious and smooth, allowing technical players on the other side to play to their utmost.

They won't fancy playing in front of the intimidating singing section in the Aviva. When they see the big flags and hear the bell ringing, they'll crumble. |

The atmosphere in Lansdowne cant be any worse than what the Danes offered up last night to be fair. |

There's way too much talk about the away goal and too much fear of it.
I was looking through the play off results for WCs and Euros from over the years last night and these ties are rarely if ever decided by by an away goal : two drawn matches between the same two teams are extremely rare too. One team nearly always seizes the initiative in the play offs and wins one of the matches.

Lads, we are not going to go all out attack at home.
It's going to be another predictable long ball and defensive approach. The plan will be to keep it tight and nick a goal to get us to Russia. It's going to be very nervy game with so much at stake. It may go to ET. The back 5 remains the same. Meylor / Arter / McClean start. Either Murphy or Long. Then it's two from O'Dowda/McGeady/Hendricks/Wes/Brady. I would like to see McGeady and Hendricks start. Brady has been poor and Wes to come on later. We are in such a fantastic position now. CYBIG!!! |

That might be true .....but is there any other International team who rely on 1:0 more than this Ireland team, it's a precarious position for a team who never win by big margins |

It's going to be a long 2 days but my god it will be a nerve wrecking game Tuesday. Personally can't see us scoring 2 if Denmark score first but at least we have no suspensions

It will be kept tight. I would expect to see a similar team to the one that started against Wales, but with a little more licence. I think MON might feel slightly burned by the approach taken against Serbia, and will try to strike the balance.

I could see this going the distance.
If Denmark score, we're f**ked. When was the last time we scored two against a decentish team? Israel 2005? Netherlands 2000? |
