STEPHEN KENNY HAS made two changes to his starting team for tonight’s Uefa Nations League game with Armenia in Dublin.
Jeff Hendrick replaces the suspended Josh Cullen while Robbie Brady is preferred to James McClean at left wing-back. Otherwise, it’s as you were from Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Scotland at Hampden Park.
Gavin Bazunu continues in goal, with John Egan captaining the side and alongside Dara O’Shea and Nathan Collins. Hendrick comes into the midfield three along with Jayson Molumby and Jason Knight. Matt Doherty continues at right wing-back, as Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi reprise their partnership up front.
Kick off at the Aviva Stadium is at 7.45, and Ireland must avoid defeat to secure their status in League B.
Hendrick and Brady? Nó Ogbene. Poor choices
Hendrick really?. Kenny really is a joke of a manger.
@Joe Boyle: doesn’t even have a crib for a bed. Madness!
@Joe Boyle: Shocking. Should have picked one of the group of top quality midfielders available.
Hendrick
@Emmet Heneghan: Brady
At Least he didn’t pick McClean this time
@Lesidees: What’s wrong with McClean?
@Brian Murphy: he’s crap
@rory: One of our better players this campaign. Has not let us down in a long time and great character around the squad.
@Brian Murphy: His crossing has let us down for a very long time. “Not letting us down” is a pretty low bar to set.
@Thomas O’ Donnell: How about he’s been one of our more consistent performers? He’s had a really impressive late flourish to his career.
