The swiss winning would cause us a lot of issues going into the last 3 games with 2x of thoses been tough away trips to Georgia and Geneva.

On the flip side if we were to pull off a mini upset and best the Swiss that would leave us probably only needing 4pts from 3 games to qualify. 17 pts would be enough I reckon. The Swiss would still have to go away to Denmark so we have a real opportunity to land a substantial blow to their qualification hopes. Mick has to try and win the home games. I don't mind us being defensive but we have to have a proper go at winning this game. A draw would be a good result but we have to aim for the win and not just settle for the draw. I reckon this will be the line up Mick will go with 4-3-3

Randolph

Coleman. Duffy. Keogh. Stevens

Hendrick. McCarthy. Hourihane.

Robinson. McGoldrick. McClean.

I was at Deepdale at the weekend and Maguire was the best player on the pitch playing left wing.

No reason for McClean to start over him, especially considering McClean has started to play LB for his club, and not very well at that.

Same team as above with that change. Arter in for McCarthy if McCarthy doesn't play for Palace as Arter was Fulham fans man of the match at the weekend. Obafemi looks like he will be starting soon for Southampton and should be a good option off the bench.

Randolph, Coleman, Stevens, Duffy, Robinson, McGoldrick, Hendrick are all nailed on starters.

He may well just stick with them.


No way can he stick with whelan if he's spent the entire pre-season without a club. He'll be miles off fitness. It'll be Arter or McCarthy if the latter plays enough between now and then.


How exactly will McCarthy be fit?

How many games has he played in the last 2 yearss, I wouldn't be surprised to see him being omitted from the squad because of this.

McCarthy has seen a preseason at least. On that basis Whelan should be nowhere near this squad

Arter is the logical choice.

And has played a bit of an under-23 game. The odds of him having another injury are much shorter than him starting for Palace!

I don't think McCarthy or Whelan should be starting against the Swiss because I don't believe either are match fit.

I'd start Arter ahead of them alright. Will he be included?

There really is not a lot of options left.

Both have been very strong players for us the last few years. McClean was top goal scorer ffs.

Absolute laughable post.

Mcclean has scored a few important goals but his overall performances have been truly awful.

His reckless mindless tackles cost us more than anything else ffs

Very strong how exactly? Be specific? It's not his final ball that's for damn sure. Or his first touch, positioning or range of passing.



His goals, work rate and defensive abilities, regardless of your deluded opinion of him, the fact of the matter is that he will start against the Swiss. He is a senior member of the squad.

Now can you elaborate on this "reckless mindless tackles cost us more than anything else " with examples?

I wouldn't start McClean and I don't particularly rate him as a player but to say there is absolutely no reason he should be in the squad is way over the top. He was one of our better players in the 2018 qualifying campaign and scored some very important goals. Technically he is very limited and predictable but he does offer a lot of aggression and power which can be useful in some games. 

Most interesting call for these games will be who gets the holding midfield role. I think we would all like to see McCarthy get it but he will need to get at least a game or two under his belt with Palace I'd imagine. Other options would be Whelan or Arter you'd imagine.

So your not able to back up your point then?

I do think that there are more technically better players in the squad than McClean as he is a very limited footballer.

McCarthy will pick him - that is a matter fact. It's not fantasy football.

As much as I want Maguire to do well, he has not impressed so far. No chance that he will start on the left wing in a game where we need a result. 

As limited as McClean is, managers like and trust him because he can put in a shift and is almost guaranteed to cause some kind of problem for the opposition. I can’t see him losing his place until Kenny comes in.

McClean would be better used as an impact player, rather than a starter v Swiss. Same with Long.

If it was nil all with 15 to go, they would be the ones you'd want sprung from the bench.

It's a fact. Most of his family including both parents didn't attend his wedding. He has had a major falling out and apparently it's down to his wife.

One of my mates knows the family and used to live beside them in Baldoyle.

Coronation street is in a shocking state at he moment. It's worse than one of those Robbie corners that hits the first man.


Horsebox is right.We struggle to score goals so much, McClean  probably still just about deserves a place in the team for his goal threat.
