That with Coleman not able for 2 games in a few days

I like that team, except for Stevens. Thought he had a poor game and doesn't deserve to retain his place. McClean for me. 

Co-incidentally, Dan McDonnell has gone with the above as the probable line up in the Indo today with two changes- McClean for Stevens and Omobamidele for Collins.

Luxembourg are definitely beatable. Lost to Portugal and Serbia at home and in general their home form is not great - if anything their better results and performances have come on the road.

"In the last matches, they played more with the style that they played for 100 years. It was more British style, this fighting spirit, more long balls, more contacts. I think Ireland are in good shape."

Jesus that's an absolutely bizarre comment

It's pretty much the stock comment every opposition manager makes about us.

The good news is, they’ve done absolutely no analysis on us.

He has picked up on a change of style in our last few games, we are definitely more purposeful in possession, there is more urgency, and we mix it a up a bit more which was required.

Opposition managers are fully aware that we are a very different proposition than last year. Different players, formation and style of play. There's acknowledgment that we are now a better team.

Kenny has done a fantastic job, absolutely no question about it.

He's literally spent the whole campaign blooding players in. It's time to start delivering results. The team needs to know how to win games.



Agree. The team seems to be settled now and is in it's strongest position in terms of form, depth and quality since he took over.

They have the momentum and I've no doubt that the expectation among the management is to win the game.

of course they are beatable, but we have to have a dose of realism from the lads saying this game has his job on the line, sh*t or bust

the bookies have a Luxembourg win or draw coupled at odds on, more likely that they take points off us than not. That's where we are at at the moment, they are on just as much of an improvement curve as ourselves

If we are to see Kenny get a new contract he has to win this game otherwise it will be the Nations league campaign when the decision is made. One thing is for sure- we simply have to be beating the likes of Luxembourg if we want to qualify for any tournament. A win tonight would give a boost to us and also help convince those on the fence that Kenny has what it takes to take us to the Euros. Taking a maximum of 5 points from the bottom two seeds would be far from acceptable. The qualifying campaign should be taken on the whole. That is important.

The differences between finishing third and fourth are massive. It’s vitally important to the future of Irish football. How do people not see this?
