We don't have two central midfielders good enough to play 4-4-2, or two strikers either!

We are playing Georgia FFS - they are ranked outside the top 100. |

So who do you play in the centre and up top? Even against Georgia we would struggle in a 4-4-2, that is the reality.

So spend the game hoofing the ball at Walters and hope Long gets in behind?

Let's be serious here. We don't pass the ball great at times even though we can. We tend to more panic.
We hoofed against Germany and beat them. The goal against Austria was a hoof and we scored. It's not pretty but I believe start with good intentions yes, but it it's not working f**k it and go for it. Commit to the f**king hoof. Nothing is more frustrating that actually hoofing it, big Jon winning all the 1st ball and we have nothing / no one on the 2nd ball. How many times was that the case yesterday.

A sentence I thought id never hear from our fans. However, I agree with you totally. Duffy's recent form and in general clumsiness is a huge concern IMO. Long looks ok but no more than that. Clark definitely our number 1 CB in our squad IMHO. Is he back from injury for our Georgia yeah?

If we can't beat Georgia, we don't deserve to qualify for the World Cup.
Who were the last team who qualified for a World Cup in Europe who didn't get six points against the sixth seed in their group? I still think we will win, mind. |

Actually, scratch that. Wales were sixth seeds in the 2014 qualifiers and Belgium drew with them in Brussels. Switzerland drew with Iceland at home as well.
Still, I think we'll have enough and that we'll have to have enough. If we don't beat them, I don't think we'll make it through. |

Ward, Whelan, Duffy, Walters, Brady, McGeady, Meyler and Christie (and technically Coleman too). All of them are one yellow away from a suspension. It'll almost be easier to figure out who isn't a yellow card away once we see the starting lineup for Georgia, given that six of those above may well start.
Important with Serbia to follow. All going well they'll all avoid yellows in Georgia. Edited by SuperDave84 - 13 Jun 2017 at 1:02am |

Clark and Duffy are awful players. Stupid decision making from both and Duffy is attrocious on the ball. One of the worst displays I ever saw. Literally booted the ball into the stand 3 or 4 times when attempting a pass yesterday

Georgia had 62% possession in Lansdowne last year and we played with a 5 man midfield so I find it hard to contemplate what 4-4-2 could lead to
Playing 4-4-2 may well work but on the evidence I'd go with 5 and think he will do too. One thing is for certain, it'll be a long 90 minutes. |

Thats a given - it will be extremely ugly and a very long 90 mins. I just feel with our hoof ball tactics you need to have two upfront. |

I would fear that MON will once again show his defensive stripes, and will leave wes on the bench, with just one man up front for 65 mins.
We will probably go 1 down before he changes it, and it will end up in a frustrating 1:1 draw. |

We should worry. Although our record against Georgia is played seven, won seven, I don't recall any of those seven being convincing victories. Especially away.
