trap is 142, though, he ain't gonna be around for ever. we can't have austerity measures on the football pitch as well, can we?Stephen Ireland is not the type of player that suits Trappatonis system, chances are he would be lucky to get his game even if he were in the team. Trap prefers those holding, direct, grafting, style of mid fielders ala Andrews, Whelan and Lawrence. Not as classy as Ireland by a long way but perfectly suited to the system that Trap employs. Stephen Ireland showed temperamental issues under Mancini and Houllier -( his unwillingness to track back and help his team mates out was a major reason why Mancini off loaded him) and his refusal to obey the coach was another. This led to a an ever spiralling downward dip in his confidence and form which has only now resurfaced under McCleish.
What would the Daddy Dick chant be if he was to come back for Ireland?
squad for friendlies:Shay Given (Aston Villa), Keiren Westwood (Sunderland), David Forde (Millwall); John O'Shea (Sunderland), Stephen Kelly (Fulham), Stephen Ward (Wolves), Richard Dunne (Aston Villa), Sean St Ledger (Leicester), Darren O'Dea (Leeds), Kevin Foley (Wolves); Glenn Whelan (Stoke), James McCarthy (Wigan), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Keith Andrews (West Brom), Keith Fahey (Birmingham), Darron Gibson (Everton), Damien Duff (Fulham), Aiden McGeady (Spartak Moscow), Stephen Hunt (Wolves); Robbie Keane (Aston Villa), Kevin Doyle (Wolves), Shane Long, Simon Cox (both West Brom), Jon Walters (Stoke).i forgot about darron. which was a good thing, as far as i'm concerned. no new faces, so i'd imagine there'll be no change between now and the summer, even though simon's cocks can't get a game for his club. or st ledger, for that matter. of course, not remotely surprising.
McClean wasn't deregistered from the North and registered with us in time, according to something I read and can't remember where.
In theory now an Irish B team made up of players either out of he starting 11 or not picked for the squad at all would easily beat our first team
Kenny
S Reid - O'Shea - O'Dea - Coleman
McClean - McCarthy - Fahey - Walters
Long - Cox
You could probably make a C team involving Leon Best banging in long Rory Delap throws that would give the A team a good go too.
lets face it, he was never gonna get picked. we know this.According to Off The Ball last night his registration came though yesterday.
westwood isn't a bad keeper either.
i'd play a 4-3-3
westwood
kelly odea duffy wilson
clarke
mccarthy ireland
mcclean rooney pilkington
just for giggles, you understand. maybe even the team from the future.
