Denmark vs Ireland, Euro 2020 qualifier, RTE2 & Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm

Match Odds

Denmark 8/15
Draw 5/2
Ireland 6/1

Big game tonight as Ireland once again lock horns with a now familiar foe, Denmark. Will Christian Eriksen put aside the disappointment of losing the Champions League final and once again put us to the sword? Can Mick McCarthy succeed where Martin O'Neill failed?

Ireland XI:

A part from my doubts about McClean and Brady, happy enough with the team.

Duff

Fairly solid team. Happy (and I never thought i'd EVER say this) with Whelan starting. Reckon it'll be nil all, though.

stampydmonkey

Teams ok. McClean needs a decent game. Would love a scrappy 1-0 victory....the scrappier the better

Would have had Robinson in for Brady, otherwise no complaints.

COYBIG!

Second this
some good options from the bench though
Both O Dowd and Robinson to go on when the Danes legs tire after McLean upends them

Mr.Nice Guy

Here's the opponents:

Denmark XI: Schmeichel, Larsen, Kjaer, Christensen, Daalsgard, Delaney, Schone, Braithwaite, Eriksen, Poulsen, Jorgensen.

Besides Eriksen, worried about Poulsen who is coming off a great season with Leipzig.

I'd take a draw as I've a bad feeling the Danes will edge it. Hopefully Hourihane's set-pieces are on point as that could be a useful area for us.

OldMrBrennan83

Brady should be nowhere near a starting 11. Hopefully there's something from him tonight and really hope they don't let him back anywhere near set pieces.

TheCitizen

Same team that played well v Georgia. Only question for me is Doherty being left out, but understandable that he has stayed with the starting line up from the last day

Happy with that line up

Definitely. Theirs sounded like the blue campsite at Oxegen at 5 in the morning.

Richard Hillman

Thought we were going to get through a game without a minutes silence for once

sonic85

Where's Pione Sisto? He's not even in the squad. Injured?

tayto lover

Couple of nice physical challenges already.

Yes, great start from us

Strumms

Nice start from, us, still examples of what pisses me off, a couple of decent positions and that lack of final ball still.

tayto lover

Danger from there. Should avoid giving frees there.

Mr.Nice Guy

Decent effort by Eriksen.

Randolph will be busy tonight looks like.

Wheeliebin30

Eriksen will be trying his best to get Real to go after him.

Father Hernandez

Posted this in the other thread, Is it just me or does the ball tend to stick in the grass a bit? Doesn't seem to flow freely, passes getting stuck

The White Feather

This will probably end up 2 or 3 nil for the Danes. Hope I am wrong obviously

Strumms

Fûck sake we are just mega shît in the final third.

The White Feather

Enda Stevens is playing very well so far

Mr.Nice Guy

Popping it about fairly well atm. Brady needs to step it up though.

Gizmo55

Some nice quick passing. Looking well up for it.

Kingp35

It's like we're a totally different team. Passing it around well.

Arghus

They should have 2 players booked already.
Ref getting it hard to give us anything.

He's getting into good positions
Needs to deliver a good ball tho

Mr.Nice Guy

Thought that was in! Not quite.

Need a few more of them set-pieces.

Strumms

That is seriously unlucky, any meaningful contact we are 1 up.

Lol ffs
Penalty surely?

Kermit.de.frog

Silly challenge by Stephens

Duff

How is that not a foul?

Strumms

Wtf was McClean at there

tayto lover

Mc Goldrick should have attacked that. Nearly let Delaney score there.

tayto lover

We’re living dangerously.

Father Hernandez

Hourihane on set pieces make a massive difference

gustafo

is that john o'shea commentating on sky sports? jesus he'd bore the life out of ya

mcclean just cannot help himself.

Father Hernandez

Outrageous tackle from Duffy there, he's had a great start. Love the physicality in his game

McClean lol

Arghus

Christ, classic McClean there.

OldMrBrennan83

We're still **** anyway.
