Good, can't have an alien like that starting up front for us. The head on him.

I think the key to qualifying is Doherty starting instead of Coleman and Glenn Whelan not starting . If Mick has the balls to make them changes we'll have a far better chance to qualifying

I think that would give us a platform to control the game, two tenacious midfielders playing regularly and well for their clubs who can tackle, play a pass, and deputise for the full-backs when they push forward. Would free up Hourihane to be more expressive and dangerous, easing the defensive burden on him which we know he isn't good at. Up front, McGoldrick would have the freedom to either get in the box or drop deeper and be a link man for the two pacey wide finishers either side of him. He's good at both.

That's the team i feel would play most to our strengths at this moment.

My eyebrows are raised as high as seanies at the suggestion of him starting this game!

The big problem I see with this team (and I like it by the way- though Hendrick is a certainty over one of Cullen or Molumby) is that you could give Mick 344 goes at picking different first 11's, and he still wouldn't pick this one.

Or by default.  We can do is draw 1-1 our way to Euro Finals glory.  I know Mick believes it.

100% McClean will start and we won't be playing 3-5-2 formation. Not much will change. Coleman will start when he shouldn't be starting and wouldn't be surprised to see Whelan start which definitely should not happen

Agree with this. Not the most inspiring team but I'd say it's the most likely. May end up with Coleman instead of Doherty but other than that I'd say this will be close to spot on.

Long and McGoldrick both won't start even though McGoldrick can slot in behind him. Can't see him playing Long on the right plus it would be a waste imo. 

Coleman will start unless he's injured. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Wishful thinking, but would love to see this team. 

GK - Randolph
RWB - Doherty
LWB - Stevens
CB - Egan
CB - Duffy
CB - Clark 
CM - Cullen/Molumby
CM - McCarthy
RW - Robinson/Maguire
LW - Connolly
ST - McGoldrick

I'd have Long at RW but wouldn't largely disagree with the rest

Was nodding in agreement until I saw the RW

Not sure I’d have long there either mind you 
Robinson’s been more miss than hit for us and I’m not convinced with Maguire

I'd have no problem with Shane Long starting, now that's he's got his place back for Southampton.

As I said on a previous thread I really think a 5-4-1 would be an excellent formation for us.

Lets call a spade a spade, our midfield has been redundant for years now and we don't play a modern brand of ball where midfield is crucial to how we play so let's utilize other areas of the pitch and just by compact in midfield.

5-4-1 defending to 3-4-3 attacking.

It's a dream for any side who plays a direct brand because even when out of possession you're still somewhat solid and have numbers back and when you're attacking you have extra bodies up in support to our front men.

If anyone watches how we play they will see massive gaps between our midfield and attack, then wonder why McGoldrick or our wingers are always isolated and often left 4 vs 1/3 vs 1.
