Is Geovanni at the Brummie derby today to check his form???

maybe someone should record it and send him the "dvd"

Is he starting? McCleish is a negative manager and I see they signed Taino. Fahey might be a luxury for a manager like McLeish especially in central midfield.

Fahey's started. He had a shot go just wide of the far post. Friedel was stranded so it could have been a goal.

Tainio is playing at right-back today. Apparently, Birmingham have a left-back crisis at the mo, resulting in Stephen Carr playing over there and others filling in at right-back.

Fahey hate the **** but hes some player always rated him hightly when at Pats and think there is definitly a place for him on the Ireland team. He has a lot to offer.

Not under Trap though but a manager that can see our strongest position in terms of depth is actually central midfield then he would have a place.

4-3-3 should be the Irish formation. I'd love Ireland/Steven Reid or Chris McCann and either Andy Reid or Keith Fahey in a midfield. We could play some football with those players. If Ireland doesn't come back then A.Reid on the right of the 3, Steven Reid in the middle and Fahey on the left of him.

On Fahey, Lee Carsley said in the paper that Fahey has taken to playing in England effortlessly.

The South Africa game is one Fahey would have excelled in. Hitting them on the counter attack, hes the type of player we really missed. Plus, almost everyone is agreed that the midfield duo of Whelan and Andrews aren't good enough for Ireland.

I agree the duo together aren't good enough but I do rate Wheland and I think he merits his place. He has an impressive tackle rate and pass success rate, last season he was one of the top prem players going by those stats. However a player like him is only effective if his centre-mid partner complements it and thats where a player like Fahey comes in or as previously mentioned S Reid, A Reid, Gibson, even James McCarthy(probably in that order). Hope Fahey gets his chance soon.

I'd go along with that. Personally I think Whelan, A.Reid in the middle could be more productive. Reid would have to get very very fit though and start playing week-in week-out at club level.
