He doesn't really. 
Trap is a 4-4-2 man with full backs instructed not to overlap or pass halfway much

MON used 3-5-2 for a lot of his managerial career 

Incorrect, all of his time at Sunderland he played 4-4-1-1. Which is a bit of a problem considering we couldn't work that system against a team like Wales.

Wingers play very old fashioned, none of the cut inside stuff
Lone forward is not usually a target man type but a hold the ball type (Emile Heskey at his time at Villa or Bendtner at Sunderland) Doyle is probably the best candidate we have for that..

Thats why i said a lot. 
Leicester and Celtic he was 3-5-2 

Villa i think he changed to 4-3-3 if i remember correctly, with Agbonlahor and Young on the wings and Carew through the middle

Sono,
Chris Hughton a better candidate for me, a young manager who plays attractive ball, MON plays similar style to Trap.
I'm a fan of Hughton but I know last seasopn when they were having their slump a lot of fans were critical of the ultra cautious defensive style of football.  Remind you of anybody??? A worry also is that it took Norwich a long time to turn it around.  When you only get 5 days to work with and develop a system and tactics would Hughton suit?

This Thumbs Up
 
Its looking like MON is target no. 1 for the FAI. Whatever about the style of football - it couldnt be as bad to watch or as one dimensional as Traps. Aswell, he is known for his man mangagement skills (non existent with trap) and getting the best out of average squads (Celtic, Leicster, Villa) thats exactly what we need.

M'ON would be a great chice.  He plays decent football and as has been said likes his wingers.  With Brady, McClean, McGeady, "Pilks" it's our one area of strength right now LOL. 
 
He gave Wycombe, Leicester, Celtic and Villa fans the best days they have ever had or had for a long time.  He needs a good right hand man with him though.  It is worth noting Robertson was not with him at Sunderland, the one club he failed at (he quit Norwich after a row).  Communication and man-management were major issues under Trap and I don't see that being a problem under M'ON.

O'Neill is not the man for the job and I will give the reasons why.

Similar style of play to Trap - we may end up again hoofing the ball to 2 big lads upfront.

The absence of John Robertson - Robertson is the brains behind the success of O'Neill.

Not developing youth players - he was never a fan of using young players, always brought in and used older experienced players.

Only using a small selection of players - whilst at Celtic he only ever used a group of about 12/13 players. There will be uproar on this forum when he excludes a long list of names.

Not giving players a chance - he never gave fringe players a chance. (Westwood being the most notable one from an Irish perspective).

Tactically naive - never won away in Europe and threw away 2 league titles on the last day of the season.

He is a very good motivator and will inspire the players, but I think Ireland needs more than inspired players. We need a manager that can out-think the opposition due to the average selection of players available

A tactically astute manager with an attacking system is what we need.

Pretty much said it after the match

For me Id have him nowhere near the rte studio never mind the team.
If ye were to bring an ex player in as a coach/assistant, look no further than Kevin Kilbane

Personally Martin O'Neill would be a very uninspiring choice for me. Would like a manager who actually has international experience. Feel if Denis O'Brien is putting the cash forward again, than we should cast the net out a lot further and not rush into any knee-jerk decisions.

Rene Meulensteen, Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena are 3 candidates worth talking too.

All the candidates listed are definitely not worth considering.

I also believe that the FAI should look abroad again for a coach.

The merits of O'Neill style are open to discussion but what he does achieve is understanding his players and playing to their strengths. He will bring enthusiasm, passion and experience to the job as well as a comprehension of irishness and the irish psyche. And fundamenatally he wont alck in confidence and will offer players positivity instead of negativity.
